As a juxtaposition to Mr Greeny's thread, how about bands that are Universally acknowledged as being 'shite', but have written 'A Good Tune' ?

I am the proud owner of a pathological hatred towards UB40. Yet this ranks as one of my favourite songs ever.... I really wish I'd 'written' it. 'Cos if I had, I wouldn't be here now....
Oh yes, Sandy. But I've gotta admit, that is one fine song, even if it does follow the 'Song by Numbers' pattern....think 'Save Tonight' by Eagle Eye Cherry and 'If God Was One Us' by She Who's Shit Stinks...

oh yea, and that bird 'Fergie' has got a fine rack on her. I think I saw video footage of her pissing herself once....Or was it her from Deeee-lite? Either way, I was happy for at least 2 months...

Okay, neither of these artists wrote these songs, but...I want it that way by The Backstreet Boys and Oops I did it again by Britney Spears....both are really well written. Don't be hatin'. :)

Nah, this was a Commadores tune and they were cool. Lionel Richtie on the other hand WAS and IS shite.
