Good Songs by Bad Bands

This is the opposite of the bad songs by good bands. These are the flat out terrible artists that actually produced one or two good songs. I was only able to find five songs though, so if you've got more, please comment so can add them if I agree.

Here I Go Again by Whitesnake

In the world of hair metal, Whitesnake is really down there with the worst. Copying Led Zeppelin countless times with the incredibly bad vocals of David Coverdale, led to a band that flat out sucked. On the other hand, Here I Go Again is pretty damn hard to shake. It's got a slow build up along with a chorus that everyone likes to sing along to (sort of like Sister Christian by Night Ranger, I'll add that song too). Look for the single to this one, sitting through the whole album ain't worth it.

In The Air Tonight by Phil Collins

Long before the abysmal world of pretentious yet stupid 80's soft rock, Phil Collins put out a piece of progressive 80's rock, which turned out to be pretty damn good. Probably the best song on the list, it led to the best electronic drum breakdown ever, is filled with the darkest and most haunting 80's pop ever. The legend around the song is that Phil Collins wrote it after watching a man watch another man down. He claims it was about his failing marriage, but considering he divorced his wife by fax and married a 27 year old, I think that the legend is true. Which means that he let that guy drown as well. MURDERER!!!

Detroit Rock City by KISS

I think just about everyone who isn't a middle aged suburban male knows that this bands sucks. They only had success through their gimmick, and their annoying, repetitive songs. But, this one kicks ass! Great groove, great guitar work, and a chorus that everyone loves to sing along to, Detroit Rock City is a great fun rock anthem. Despite the fact that it's about a guy who dies in a car crash.

New Perspective by Panic at the Disco

EMO ALERT!!! Panic at the Disco have cursed those who hate emo to eternal hell. They're pretentious, annoying, and their songs are all ten words long. It's like if someone asked if Fall Out Boy could get any worse and they dared to try. But, straight out of the Jennifer's Body soundtrack, this song is the exact opposite. Its lyrics are simple, it's catchy without having all kinds of accordions and harmonicas everywhere, it's also very upbeat, as apposed to emo. This is probably because this song came out after chief songwriter Ryan Ross left the group, leaving the other two members to make their own group. Who knows, maybe Panic at the Disco could actually become good (Oh my God)?

Flirting with Disaster by Molly Hatchet

Lynyrd Skynyrd wannabes always suck, but one song manages to be just fantastic. Great rhythm, and the lyrics make you feel like you are living your own cool version of a Dukes of Hazard episode. A southern rock classic managed to come out of such a bad band.
