I have this theory that every musician and band in pop music, by pop music I literally mean "popular", not today's meaning of "pop", has at least one redeemable song that is legit.
The only exception to this might be Hootie and the Blowfish. Other than that, even Britney Spears has some pretty kick-*kitten* songs that I've heard redone that I thought, wow, I didn't know that was actually a good song.
So, the challenge is, think about a band that maybe doesn't have any redeemable music who is popular or well-known. I can't think of any really, other then what I said above.
One hit wonders do not count in this. Think more about people that have been around a while.

I've never liked anything I've heard by shinedown.0

coldplay. every song is just a wash of blandness, like they just took an average of the world's existing melodies and harmonies.
and nickelback.0 -
One Direction. The only direction I can think of is away from that shizz.0

So far, I like everything mentioned,
Ok, but what does that mean? You said legit. WHY do you like Nickelback? Which song? What happened in your life that led to that??
sorry, just the existence of that band makes me sad for humanity.

I think their cover of sum 41's song "how you remind me" was decent, but since it was a cover idk if it counts.0 -
the world disagrees but Jimmy Buffet makes my skin crawl with his faux-caribbean schtick.0

Coldplay is beautiful. Yes, I am one of "those" people and I don't care haha
Nickelback, though, really? Come on. Or like, Creed? Or Rebecca Black?0 -

Thank goodness I'm not the only one. Ugh. Every time I hear "Margaritiaville" (which, to me, only sounds different from his other songs in that it annoys me more than the others), I want to beat the radio to death. I worked in a Johnny Rockets and our radio was broken. I got the great pleasure of hearing "Margaritaville" and "The Copacabana" about eight times each in a four-hour shift. It took me two months to quit.0 -

I think it's called "bullet". I freaking love that song. I don't know why everyone hates Nickelback. I think they're awesome.
i guess we will have to agree to disagree.. de gustibus non est disputandum0 -
I don't get the hate people have for Nickelback. I'm not a fan. But I don't hate them to the point of beeing sad for humanity.
I never met someone who said: I like Nickelback. But They have sold ALOT of albums and toured everywhere. They must have fans. What's up with that?So far, I like everything mentioned,

i love listening to Buffet but i realize its not the best music. the music makes you think about all the great things in life.
its kind of like the smell of fuel and ocean water. in and of itself its not a good smell but when you smell it you know you are boating so i actually like the smell.0 -

I have not one good thing to say about any David Bowie song. I hate him.0

I haven't ever heard a One Direction song, so I don't about that one.
Try and keep it that way0
