I don't know, for the most part, I like them. The translation is usually pretty impressive and the singer usually keeps up the right energy so it still sounds like a japanese song even though it's in english. Let's list some of your favorites, or notably bad. I know the most notably is probably Yu Yu Hakusho, but I want to shout out my love for the early Tokyo arc Kenshin dubs from bang Zoom! Freckles (I don't know why they still call it Samurai X when it's not the Sony dub) www.youtube.com/watch?v=T9ltYzcTTEETears www.youtube.com/watch?v=FYBvUvDqLhkTactics www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uz5eUCSpSmg |

I live in Japan and my wife and her friends were stunned when they heard the Yu Yu Hakusho English theme (in a good way)

The English version of the Yu Yu Hakusho theme is my favorite anime theme ever. Its one the reasons that Yu Yu Hakusho is my favorite anime series

Agreeing with the general consensus about "Smile Bomb" from Yu Yu Hakusho. They did a great job of not only finding a good singer, but matching the translated lyrics to the beat of the music without awkwardness.
AmaLee (English dub voice of Marin from My Dress-Up Darling and Jingliu from Honkai Star Rail among others; also the Vtuber Monarch) did a really good cover of "Smile Bomb" on that note.
