Who is your favorite
mediocre band? I think you can tell as much a person from the crappy music they listen to as you can from the good music they listen to.
As for me, I would say my favorite mediocre bands are: Violent Femmes The Darkness Crash Test Dummies Guster Rollins Band Bloodhound Gang |

Except the Violent Femmes, who became terrible after "Why Do Birds Sing?" Prior to that, they are excellent and some of the true american indy pioneers, signing with Slash records just to prove a point. Henry Rollins was awesome in his Black Flag days. Black Flag is still worth checking out if you are into the american punk movement. Crash Test Dummies? Yikes. "Afternoons and Coffee Spoons! And TS Elliot!....." Someone recommended Guster to me. I listened to 2 songs and never listened to that band again.

How do you know if a band is mediocre?

I enjoy Evanescence a bit, and Metallica still has a place in my heart despite having turned out to be quite mediocre the last decade or so.
