20 Universally-Hated Songs That Are Actually Technically Very Good

2. Puddle Of Mudd - Blurry

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xJJsoquu70o Make no bones about it, Blurry is an awful song, full of off-key singing, teenage bedroom angst and paint-by-numbers lyrics, but just listen to the music behind the song. It's a complex nightmare of fingerpicking, natural harmonics and shifting positions, and acts as proof that in some cases being over-produced can make a song better. If you listen to any live versions where there's only two guitars, Blurry loses all of its ethereal charm and any real quality that the studio version had in the first place. If you listen to the intro you can be washed away by the mixture of acoustic and electric guitars coming together to create not a riff, but a moving sound. Several separate tracks blend and shift together to make one singular whole and it is wonderful, bordering on hypnotic and certainly something you would never expect from the band who released She Hates Me.
