Also, can I use this opportunity to discuss Imagine Dragons? I feel like they get no respect despite having a massive song catalogue (my kids love them, and secretly, I do too).

I have elementary age boys and I hear A LOT of these bands. They are all solid musicians with palatable, often catchy songs that would be fun to see in concert, but also you can imagine hearing them at the grocery store or car dealership waiting area 10 years from now. Based on the bands you suggested, I would align them to bands from our generation as follows:
Imagine Dragons = Sound Garden or Bush
One Republic = Coldplay
AJR = Weezer or Nada Surf
Maroon 5 = Matchbox 20
Ew, no. Bush is still touring and releasing music, granted it's the second iteration with only one original member left.

Mumford and Sons is not American.
Imagine Dragons is a pop band who has released seven albums in 15 years of existence. Hardly a massive catalog.
Oh, come on. For a band nobody talks about, I know so many of their songs!
