haha everybody sometimes even the worst
events can create a catchy –
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top ten
good songs by terrible bands for this
list we’re looking at what we consider
to be good catchy songs from otherwise
bad or disrespected bands obviously the
criteria of what makes a good song will
vary considerably between people but
we’re generally looking for anything
that makes the song stand out whether it
be complexity emotion or just plain fun
number ten 3:00 a.m. matchbox 20
she said it’s cool Marin :
matchbox 20 rose to prominence in the
late 1990s with radio-friendly pop rock
hits and while they were certainly
popular they received a lot of flack for
their safe sound while 3 a.m. isn’t
exactly experimental it’s definitely a
step up from their usual soft fare swear
the music has an interesting combination
of acoustic and hard rock and Rob
Thomas’s vocals are filled with emotion
and sung with his signature twangy voice
the lyrics speak to everyone’s
interfering feelings of loneliness which
helps make this a powerful and memorable
to
number nine two princes spin doctors
that’s what I said
spin doctors are known for being one-hit
wonders and there’s a very good reason
for that this song
although their career continued nothing
else ever quite caught on like to
prince’s point in case did you know that
they actually made music as recently as
2013
two princes is justifiably popular the
guitar riff throughout instantly catches
your attention and the bass and tight
snare keep a hold of it
it’s generally considered to be a 90s
classic and is still played on rock
stations everywhere nothing gets your
nostalgia on like this bad boy
number eight cat scratch fever Ted
Nugent
Nugent is known not only for his
intensely conservative and back lashing
political views but also for this one
basic hard rock song he’s been playing
into the ground since 1977
Nugent was a bit of a name in the
mid-1970s thanks to cat scratch fever
and its signature guitar riff and chorus
that you can’t help but sing along to
the song has been covered to death and
has appeared in many forms of media not
to mention that it’s still being played
on classic rock radio
it’s a true classic even at nugent
himself is otherwise very forgettable
number seven walking on the Sun
smashmouth to say that smashmouth
doesn’t get much respect would be a bit
of an understatement
the band is basically known for their
song all-star which was unavoidable in
1999 and for years afterwards they’re
not great artists by any means but
walking on the Sun is a fine – back at
the hotel and their kids lie and they
check
at least two years before all-star this
song blended ska and psychedelic pop
into a fun bouncy blend that made for an
original and unique listening experience
it’s nowhere near as safe and bland as
all-star and it’s much better for it
my
get all the Sun
number six truly madly deeply savage
garden Oh dream of you
you see this Australian duo were known
in the late 1990s for their omnipresent
radio hits most notably I knew I loved
you
and truly madly deeply both of which
reached number one on the Billboard Hot
100
i won
truly madly deeply saw chart success all
over the world thanks in no small part
to its soft soothing music and Darren
Hayes’s beautiful vocals Jewish ofey you
fitzy sure they’re a little whiny
sounding but what pop song in the 90s
wasn’t the song embodies the time period
and is instantly recognizable to 90’s
kids everywhere
number five fly sugar ray fly is notable
for not sounding like anything Sugar Ray
had done before or since for that matter
known as a new metal band before fly
shot them into the stratosphere and it
didn’t sound like anything on the radio
at the time thanks to its unique reggae
fusion sound vocalist super cat helps
elevate the song and give it a fresh
voice and Rodney Shepards guitar riff is
both distinctive and amusing I saw
enormous success and started Sugar Ray
on their path to both radio friendly
hits Fame and d-list celebrity
number four where is the love the Black
Eyed Peas
wrong with the world mama people livin
like man God oh mama
the Black Eyed Peas might as well ask
themselves that question as they can’t
seem to find the love anywhere else
these days except maybe teenagers at
high school dance
you practice what you preach regardless
the band is infamous for their typically
asinine lyrics and bland production but
buried deep amongst all that lays where
is the love a surprisingly good and
tender track
the beat is fun the rapping is solid and
the message is clear and
well-intentioned
do you see what happens when you
actually put some effort into your music
Peas world world
we’ll need a plumber
so we got
number three rollin air raid vehicle
limp Biskit there’s no denying that limp
Biskit is a less-than-stellar bad
the music is faux badass the lyrics are
typically nonsense and fred durst is one
of the most widely hated men in the
music industry
y’all B’s up at this is right with that
said rollin is actually a pretty cool
song
sure the lyrics are dumb and meaningless
but their song in such an energetic way
that we can’t help ourselves from
singing along despite our best interest
it may not be essential new metal
listening but it’s a fun song and that’s
all that matters
it’ll be stuck in your head all day now
trust us chat a little like a blind man
six I’m without a sense of feelin and
this is out number two how you remind me
Nickelback Nickelback is without a doubt
one of the most hated bands in music
today with most pointing a finger at
their overexposure and Chad Krueger’s
ramen noodle hair
with that said how you remind me is
their signature song for a reason it was
the most played track on American radio
throughout the entire 2000s proving that
yes some people actually enjoy
Nickelback
the ban takes on a more grunge sound for
this tune and it undoubtedly helps even
the most adamant Nickelback haters have
to admit that this song isn’t terrible
overplayed yes but not terrible
before we unveil our number one pick
here are a few honorable mentions
I’m too sexy for my shirt sexy for my
shirt so sexy
Oh
number one Bob Hansen
when the band consists of teenage
brothers you know you’re probably not in
for a particularly complex or
thematically rich time
Moomba provides the exact opposite with
an extremely light song that provides
nothing but unadulterated fun
it may reek of my cheese but what
glorious cheese it is
the song is made even better knowing
that the Hanson brothers actually wrote
it themselves which is a rarity in the
pop industry especially among kids
surely they know their success wasn’t
going to last but in Bob provided a wave
of popularity that they certainly rode
for a long time
so do you agree with our list
what song from an otherwise terrible
band do you think is good for more
listenable top 10s published every day
