No band in the 2000s garage-rock revival was more fun than the Hives. The Swedish rockers mixed outrageous tongue-in-cheek pronouncements with hooks that you will never fully purge from your brain. The buzzsaw guitar riff and full-throttle vocals on “Hate to Say I Told You So” are perfect, and “Main Offender” isn’t far behind. Singer Howlin’ Pelle Almqvist once told a concert crowd (from the opening slot), “The Hives are one of the greatest rock ’n’ roll bands that ever lived, which I think ought to be obvious by now.” Sure, it was an exaggeration, but Vini Vidi Vicious helps make a persuasive case. —Eric R. Danton
