Awful Songs That Are Actually Awesome

[Angie]

For some reason, I love song threads.

I had to drive to Madison for work last week, and listened to my iPod a good portion of the way since the rental didn't have any satellite radio. I was thinking about some of the songs that I have on there that are technically considered "bad" songs which are actually awesome.

For example, "Rock You Like a Hurricane" or absolutely anything by The Scorpions. Yes, it's 80s hair rock, but they are pretty fantastic. Also, most music by Flight of the Conchords and ANYTHING by Tenacious D (minus a few things on the soundtrack from the movie) - humor rock isn't traditionally good music, but both bands do a good job musically in addition to being funny.

Others?

Men at work. Land down under. Cheesy bad and yet good.

Colin Hay, the lead singer, did an acoustic version sometime in the 00s that is also really good!
