Shit band, good song

[SuperBacon]

No, not another thread about the RHCP, as we all know that they don't have any good songs, but there are plenty of bands I think are shit (doesn't necessarily mean they are, some of my taste is questionable) but I love a song of.

I think Kings of Leon are shit, always thought they were. They looked awful when they first came out, that fucking Mollys Chamber song was terrible and then when they got big, their two huge hits were everywhere and just awful again. I especially hate his voice on Use Somebody.

Having said that, I absolutely love King of the Rodeo by them, and am always pleased when it comes on the playlist. It's a really lovely song with superb guitar and unintelligible lyrics. Good video too. But I still think they're shit.

There are loads of examples for me, but that was the first one that came to mind when I thought of the thread. Over to you, but please no RHCP, let's not ruin my week on a Monday.

Maybe a stretch to say "good", but given how much I loathe the rest of their output, Dakota by Stereophonics is a perfectly fine bit of rock pop.

Didn't actually realise that was him, yeah a fairly solid song. Although this thread has now just reminded me of the time someone said they were at a funeral and the cliff richard joke was told.

 

I'm going to go with Starship We Built this CIty and Nothings Gonna Stop Us. They aren't particularly good songs, and We Built This City is in the so bad it's good catergory, but I like them. Nothings Gonna Stop Us was in Mannequin which I loved as a kid too. Their albums are absolute dog shit though (I've only heard the first 2), which is a shame as Jefferson Starship had some good stuff and the band on paper were quite talented,Craig Chaquico is a really good guitarist and Grace Slick a tremendous singer. Shit fact about Starship, 3 singles at no 1 in US, all reaching no 1 in 3 seperate (but consecutive years).

Absolutely loathe Chris de Burgh, just can't stand the fucker, which makes my genuine enjoyment for this song even more annoying.

I cba with them at the best of times but Just Looking is a top 90s whine rock song, and I like some of their other stuff from the first two albums. Kelly Jones is, and alwsys been, really fit as well.

I broadly agree, but they did threaten to be more interesting when Dave Navarro was in the band and I would say this one meets the criteria:

Those first two albums did have a couple of semi-decent songs on it. 

I’ve always been fond of ‘A Thousand Trees’ back when they had a bit of substance about them. You wouldn’t see Stereophonics writing songs about paedophile football coaches these days.
