10 Terrible Rock Bands With One Incredible Album

10. Yourself Or Someone Like You - Matchbox 20

It would be a stretch to call Matchbox 20 one of the worst bands in history. By the time they actually got around to reaching the top of the charts, their kind of adult alternative post-grunge was getting far too sanitized for anyone to really take seriously anymore. Once you see how bad the later bands like Lifehouse could get, you will have so much more respect for Yourself or Someone Like You.

That's because this album doesn't really seem to be going for your traditional post-grunge hangups. Instead of copying the kind of tried and true formulas of someone like Stone Temple Pilots, there's a lot more pop smarts behind a lot of these songs, especially when paired with the nice rasp of Rob Thomas. As much as they may have been played into the ground, songs like Push are going to be remembered just for how catchy they are.

This would prove to be a bit of first album syndrome though, with the next album showing Matchbox 20 really starting to run out of ideas and Rob Thomas later reaching the top of the charts either on his own or with Santana. Though this ended up being the high point of their career by a longshot, you'll still have the chorus to 3 AM stuck in your head until the day you die.
