Whilst I'm not a fan, those saying they've never heard of OneRepublic are f**king full of shit - They WERE huge for a while - I'm all for people saying they're not the right fit for a league GF, and I agree 100%, but to say you have no idea who they are is a complete crock - Unless of course, you lived under a rock for that entire time.
I may have heard their music (haven't gone to Spotify or YouTube to check) but I've never heard the name. Maybe I have been living under a rock.

Not saying you're lying, but I find that very hard to believe - Like I said, they were huge for a while and were played ad nauseam on the radio

Again, I must make this clear... I am, in no way, a fan of this "band" and think there are much better acts out there

I love the annual complainfest following the GF entertainment announcement.
I didn't care about Keith Urban or Richie Sambora playing Bon Jovi - because I wasn't there for that.

It's never going to modern or classic enough, it's never going to Aussie or big enough. I do enjoy the 'Who?' comments every year though.

Never heard of them. If they are a band, what kind of musical instruments do they play?

That must have been while I lived under a rock for 5 minutes. That they were “WERE huge” as you say.

But seriously I have never heard of them. If the NRL is going to put on entertainment for the grand final, at least put on a band most people have heard of.

Huge where?

I’m sure there are huge boys bands and rappers and female singers too
Doesn’t mean that people will know them.
If you asked me to name one of their songs - I couldn’t.
If you showed me a photo I couldn’t tell you who they are.
I have heard that one song but for all I know it was a tv commercial.
To put that into context
My kid who is 9 has a favourite song,
Immigrant song by led zeppelin .
He definitely didn’t get it off the radio or video hits or whatever.
He got it from avengers end game.

It is easy to not know who these blokes are.
In fact more people wouldn’t know them than people who do.

The bolded bit is false IMO - The rest I understand for you personally, but the masses are well aware of who OneRepublic are (they're f**king shit, but that's not the argument)

You reckon everyone knows who they are or more people?

Children, middle aged mums and dads ,Grandparents???

Maybe you’re tiny demographic with the same tastes in radio stations.

I absolutely don’t know them from a bar of soap.
And get this
I’m a bloody musician in a band.
Haha
I don’t listen to commercial radio.
Haven’t for probably 30 years.
We play songs that I’d never heard when I had to learn them.
