First one I thought of.
Second Adams song.

Have to also agree with the Sugar Ray and Smash Mouth entries in this thread. Many lousy bands have a redeeming quality.
Yeah, I don't get it with those two, but the idea that the prf of all places might praise them is fascinating.
Don't get me wrong, I like a ton of certifiably uncool music. I'll give a waffley defense of the Eagles. But those two bands are torture to me.

Wonderful record, one of the lousiest live performances I've ever seen.
I wonder if she ever sussed she was dating a cat burglar?
I admit I own the album this is from, and some of the deeper cuts on there are pretty good. I even like their 'Abracadabra' cover.

I've come to the conclusion that even though I really like 7-8 Weezer songs, they're all great songs by a lousy artist. You can't have a run as bad as theirs without concluding that what was good must have been some kind of fluke.

"Now That's The Barclords" by Urge Overkill
Probably a controversial choice, but I stand by that song...the band, not so much.
