Mediocre band, woeful balladeers
Buffalo, New York’s Goo Goo Dolls are former garage-rockers who, since their 1995 acoustic hit “Name,” have successfully flogged a pallid brand of Bon Jovi–lite “rock.” “Iris,” their smash 1998 weepie, gives power ballads a bad name.
Worst CD Gutterflower (Warner Bros., 2002)

46 THE SPIN DOCTORS
Beards. Extended “jams.” Oh dear, oh dear
For a brief time (between 1992 and 1996), it seemed that any workaday bar band, if it was willing to gamely trek around the country for at least three years, had a chance at superstardom (cf. Hootie and the Blowfish, Blues Traveler). Blame the Spin Doctors, hairy New Yorkers who — thanks to the supremely annoying “Little Miss Can’t Be Wrong” and “Two Princes” — momentarily opened a route between dive bars and the Billboard charts.
Appalling fact The Doctors got together while they were students at New York’s New School of Jazz.
Worst CD Homebelly Groove Live (Epic, 1992)


43 MIKE & THE MECHANICS
“Every generation blames the one before,” they sang. So we will
While Phil Collins was torturing the world with his archetypal ’80s soft-rock, his Genesis colleague Mike Rutherford unwisely decided to join in. Ergo the Mechanics, a trio built around Rutherford, former Squeeze vocalist-keyboardist Paul Carrack and the late Paul Young. As shown by the 1989 number 1 hit “The Living Years,” an unbearably sentimental ode to Rutherford’s deceased father, they made Collins sound like the MC5.
Appalling fact Against significant odds, there is a U.K.-based Mike & the Mechanics tribute band, the Living Years.
Worst CD Beggar on a Beach of Gold (Virgin, 1995)


41 WHITESNAKE
Dumb and dumberer
Led by ex–Deep Purple frontman David Coverdale, Whitesnake’s ’80s success with their karaoke Led Zeppelin routine can be explained only by the public’s enduring love for the double entendre, as exemplified on such songs as “Slide It In,” “Slow Poke Music” and “Spit It Out.”
Worst CD Slip of the Tongue (Geffen, 1989)

5 STARSHIP
They built this city on rock & roll. And crap!
In 1985, Starship rose like a phoenix from the ashes of once-mighty psychedelic overlords Jefferson Airplane/Starship — but only if, by phoenix, you mean “ultra-lame, MTV-pandering purveyors of MOR schlock.” Best remembered for “We Built This City,” they were also responsible for unleashing the Diane Warren–penned “Nothing’s Gonna Stop Us Now,” a song bad enough to appear on the soundtrack of the diabolical Andrew McCarthy “comedy” Mannequin. And its sequel!
Appalling fact Singer Grace Slick later disavowed “Nothing’s Gonna Stop Us Now,” claiming in an interview, “I know damn well how fast a relationship can fall apart.”
Worst CD Love Among the Cannibals (RCA, 1989)

I AM ACTUALLY GOING TO SUE!!! Gutterflower by The Goo Goo Dolls is one of my favourite albums. I love Spin Doctors and Starship. Not as keen on Mike And The Mechanics but don't think they should be in this list

i don't think you can sue someone for writing an article 4 years ago about some crappy bands you like ... but you can try

Very good. Now if only we can bring down Live as well.

omg, yesssssss.

Celine's show in Vegas literally put me to sleep. She sang like three slow French songs and there was no ac on in the Colossseum. People all around me were asleep. One guy had his head hanging off the back of the chair with his tongue out. I'll never forget May 28, 2006.

i think this is my favorite post of yours ... ever

[irishgrl]

Stupid list.
I love the Hooters, Kansas, Live, Doors, Iron Butterfly, Hootie, Spin Doctors, and that one song by Blind Melon. I cant help myself.

[GarboSpeaks!]

WTF? Where is MilliVanilli? The Darkness? < Hate those idiots. Nothing there to even be campy...but that's just my opinion.

I LOVE the Gipsy Kings and am not afraid to admitt it. I think they are way talented. If they took off as some rich snobby people's "fav" then that's not their fault. I've heard SO little abou them, was surprised to see them on ANY list.

And Live? Are you kidding me? I saw them last year (2nd time seeing them) and again, IMO, they are off the hook. Maybe it's studio vs. live, but in concert, they just tear it up. I like them a lot.

I love the Doors... And I really like the Soft Parade album!
I do know alot of people that dislike the Doors however.

I would agree with almost all on this list...

I was a HUGE Goo Goo Dools fan!!!! They were a true garage/punk band.
Then "Name" happened, and they became rich rockstars....
