back in january, i had to leave our yearly work conference at a rented venue and walk through an outdoor avenue shopping center to get to a hardware store to pick up shit for later that night.
this was playing on the pa out in the streets (i didn't know what it was at the time) and i got teary-eyed. i was also dealing with personal shit. and... i was also on some substances.
I don't think those examples are necessarily good ones to make any sort of point in regard to differing band quality vs. their success (but I don't know which songs Halestorm sings but I've heard entire offices' track lists and tops etc for a while).
I haven't heard that McCartney song but after he played with Rihanna on her "tough black street girl" bullshit "wilding" song I have no interest in hearing any new music from him because he's clearly lost it. The Beatles were a great band though and Brian Wilson was a talented song writer ahead of his time also dealing with the time and his band members.
Bands are slightly different subject from single songs. If you have some specific hit song that is worse than this then list that instead of bands.

Speaking of McCartney, him and Lennon apparently have the world record for top singles for a songwriting duo. 56 of them or so.

I think you mean "Hyeeeeeahhhhhhhhuuuuuaooooohhhhh, a-Pearl-a Jayum-uh, h'awwyeauh", which is what literally every one of their fucking songs sounds like.
The studio albums are like that, they sound a lot better live (ignoring the shit quality crowd-recorded stuff and the shit quality audio compression YouTube does to everything).

What about The Police / Sting?

No, that's not a typo. Shart music is the mass-produced shit farted out by the big-dollar record labels a song a minute in order to make a quick buck or billion. Record vocals, electronically adapt vocals via autotune/vocoder to match preexisting dance track templates, ???, profit!

So what's an example of a good band to you, out of curiosity?

I honestly wouldn't know these days, some songs are catchy, others just drag on, others make me want to cover my ears due to the bass overpowering everything else (whether it be dance, R&B, rap or whatever, it doesn't even have to be the constant nightclub style thump, thump, thump, thump, thump at all). If it's the same type of "music" from X-Factor/Idol etc., chances are it sounds like shit and I want to puke. I grew up listening to a band that everyone hates so I can't say anything. The text above my avatar says all.

Metallica was always metal for people who don't really know metal, like Moët is Champagne for people who don't really know Champagne. TBH it's just boring. Lars Ulrich could be replaced with a metronome, his drumming is just so plain. I mean the speed he gets is impressive, but it's just not interesting.
