10 Amazing Songs By Terrible Artists

10. Machinehead - Bush

Ok...so this one is probably the least offensive band of the bunch. After all, Bush was never really a terrible band...they just found themselves looking like a discount Nirvana from the minute they started. As much as something like Glycerine might seem a little bit dated nowadays, the crunch of Machinehead has still managed to keep its teeth after all these years.

That's not to say that the actual song is a masterpiece or anything, with most of the riffs being pretty stagnant throughout most of the record. Gavin Rossdale does sell it though, sounding like what Kurt Cobain might have sounded like if he were told that he was fronting a glam band instead of Nirvana. The distorted effects aren't too shabby either, sounding more robotic nowadays than they did upon first release.

Hell, even the heavy hitters of the grunge scene couldn't find too much to hate about this song. While most might have pled indifference, we still have Courtney Love proclaiming this as one of the greatest songs of the decade. Even though it's not advisable to trust Ms. Love at all times, this is still a nice little throwback jam that you can save for your '90s nights at the bar.
