10 Catchiest Rock Songs That Suck

10. She Hates Me – Puddle Of Mudd (2001)

The world of post-grunge rock was one of the more unpleasant hangovers after the Soundgarden, Pearl Jam and Nirvana party ended. Although the genre did birth bands like Foo Fighters, it also led to bands like Puddle Of Mud. Never was there a more aptly named group.

Like much of the popular rock music of this era, this song contained a jaunty guitar progression and vocal delivery, that presented a defiant and carefree attitude. It might have worked, if the lyrics weren't all about Wes Scantlin's inability to process being dumped. Fairly soon into the song, his lyrics betray a distinct lack of depth to his writing ability.

Scantlin's admiration for Kurt Cobain has always been evident. His vocal delivery has often strived to emulate his idol, and if we put aside his ill-judged and poorly executed rendition of About A Girl, he actually has some range (when he's not lip syncing).

Unfortunately for Wes, overtly immature song concepts and painfully literal lyrics, were never going to elevate his musical endeavours to the level of even Nirvana's least celebrated tracks.
