Why sarcasm? I for one care deeply about the Baha Men. When someone finally tracks them down and tortures them to death, I want it to be lingering, I want it to be painful and for preference I want it to be me doing it.

Hold on, I'm gonna listen to the Steve Miller song to see if it is as bad as I remember.

OK, it's not that bad, but it's not that good, either.
Lame snyth effects Beck would put to good use years later.

I submit that if the Steve Miller Band had not used the aforementioned effects in the way that they did when they did it, Beck (whose music I greatly respect) would have had one less influence when developing his sound.
One must take into account the context of the time period. Such 'lame synth effects' weren't exactly an established musical device back then -- most artists thought it was cool but didn't know what the hell to do with it, thus giving rise to a plethora of songs that really did NOT need synth effects but had them anyway. SMB, on the other hand, found a way to incorporate them into a song that integrated the sound into the lyrics -- damn near seamlessly.
"Fly Like an Eagle" is a classic. "Life in the Fastlane", on the other hand, that I'll grant you. Yech.

This is my vote - The Pop Group "One out of many"
The pop group are a post punk group, now I know that might not sound bad and I suppose by whats been mentioned in this thread already it doesn't really fit in, but jesus...listen to it.
