Bands you wouldn't expect to not suck
Threatis:
I'd have to put in my vote for Mindless Self Indulgence.
You'd think by looking at them, that they'd be this horrible "I'm so angsty" band. After a few listens however, you realise that they have some pretty kick ass skills.
And music with an Atari for accompaniment is always kickass.

I am in no way implying they aren't awesome, but sometimes it just feels like people think they are the only awesome band ever.
Sorry for the rant. On topic: I can agree with Harvey Danger and Marcy Playground. Also: Im a fan of Incubus, and while I never expected them to suck, I always thought their earlier stuff would be somehow worse then their latest stuff. I was wrong, Science blew any other album they ever did right out of the water.

I live in Seattle, and I heven't heard a thing about since I moved up here a year ago. It's nice.

I was quite surprised upon hearing Limblifter for the first time. I had pretty low expectations when I saw them open for Matt Good, considering I'd heard they were just a "basic rock band", and their name seemed kind of generic too. However, it ended up being very enjoyable, and although they're nothing too amazing, they've got some very well-written songs.

I saw them live here in Ottawa a few years back. Totally blew me away.

I second Dexy's Midnight Runners. I have Too-Rye-Ay on vinyl somewhere.
There are a lot of bands that I think suck in general, but I would absolutely go see live if I had the chance (and was also paying to see a good band along with). I'm going to catch flak for this, and probably rightly so, but Fuel, Incubus, and Linken Park put on some pretty decent live shows, even though I can't stand them otherwise. I saw them back in 2001 at HFStival.
I remember when Marcy Playground first showed up, circa 1996. I throughly enjoyed them back then. I also remember when Live showed up with Mental Jewelry and Throwing Copper. They were pretty good back then, and though they went downhill after that (though I liked that one song with Tricky) they also rock live.
