Okay, maybe they don't suck. Or maybe I think they suck and you actually like them (or vice versa, of course). Maybe we can all agree regarding their suckiness, but they had one brief shining moment where their level of suckiness was restrained to the point that they actually release something worthwhile.
 
I offer this thread because I was blindly clicking my way through YouTube videos, as I do on occasion, and I was simply recalling various songs and bands from my teen years (and decidedly not prog bands). Here's three bands of various suckitude I could really never listen to again and not miss their absence. Please join in.

This is the only song I like from this band.

There may be a few more, I'll have to think about it.

I've always liked "Right Down The Line" better than "Baker Street"

Never cared for Disturbed, but "Prayer" and their cover of "Land Of Confusion" were stunningly good.

Don't know about genius but yes.


Liliental is the least interesting kraut-band I've encountered but Nachsaison grooves nicely



The rest of Lyn Christopher's only album is pretty useless (helped by Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley pre-Kiss)



The Three Degrees do not always suck but has one psychsoul-pop standout 



Bill Cosby sucks at everything including being a human being but Martin's Funeral is still great

not my cup of tea, but this song is special :
Music is the refuge of souls ulcerated by happiness.

People used to make fun of their outfits, etc,  but these guys wrote some ass kicking rock and roll for their time.....

Hell...I don't know , but they dressed up as Revolutionary soldiers...Paul Revere and the Raiders....get it...?   and often did this dorky stage act while they played, but as I said they wrote some nice rock for the day.

I've never heard a U2 that I didn't want to turn off?

I don't particularly like U2, nor to be honest was I ever a great fan of Johnny Cash but goddamn he nails this one big time. Effing bloody brilliant, beats the keerap out of the original.
