Joe Pesci >> Vincent Laguardia Gambini Sings Just For You

Christmas is a time for watching movies, and something every movie has in common is that it's got actors in it. Which is a coincidence, because Joe Pesci is also an actor! Reprising his role from 'My Cousin Vinny' Pesci recorded this album in character.

Crazy Frog >> Jingle Bells

Crazy Frog was born from a silly recording someone made and released to the internet a few years back. So what better occasion can there be than Christmas to listen to a horrid noise such as this?

Wing >> Everyone Sings Carols With Wing

Santa Claus is coming to town, but he's gonna turn his sleigh right around and head back to the North Pole as soon as he hears Wing warbling these seasonal classics.

William Hung >> Hung For The Holidays

Not the first time we've featured William Hung, but as we're getting close to Christmas it's about time to inflict his album of holiday hits on you and those around you.

2 Live Jews >> Christmas Jews

The worst thing about this is not that it exists, but that I had three Christmas-themed albums to choose from!

Oy vey!

Play Album

Rupaul >> Ho Ho Ho

Rupaul the red nosed drag queen, had a very shiny nose. And if you ever saw it, you would even say it glows. All of the other drag queens, used to laugh and call her names. They never let poor Rupaul, join in any drag queen games.

Matthew Ross >> Wurlitzer Christmas

"It's like listening to Christmas in a retirement home, as the old-folks are all lined up in the dining room" said my wife, just now. I think that's all that needs to be said about this album, really.

Play Album

Greg MacDonald >> A Real Steel Christmas

The Steel Drum is not an instrument traditionally associated with Christmas music, and it turns out there's a very good reason.

Play Album

Paris Hilton >> Paris

How has this blog gone so long without posting this hotel heiress? With liberal use of autotune, the engineers just about manage to wrangle her voice into some semblance of accurate pitch, but there's just no emotion there. Just like her face.

Play Album

The Chipmunks >> Christmas With The Chipmunks

All your favourite Christmas songs, recorded by chipmunks. Of course, what this means, is that they're normal songs but they've raised the pitch of the vocals by a silly amount. Cute? No. Annoying? Oh definitely.

Play Album

The Power Pack Orchestra & Singers >> Kid's Themes

There are lots of albums of theme music on Spotify, many of them cheap imitations and cover versions. However, this album has to be the cheapest of them all. Awful.

Play Album

Studio 99 >> A Tribute To The Vengaboys

In the 90's, the Vengaboys were everywhere. Thankfully, they soon disappeared back into oblivion. Now, their euro-pop anthems have been lovingly recreated by the infamous Studio 99. Unfortunately.

Play Album

Breathe Carolina > It's Classy, Not Classic

The screamo fans will hate the electronic noises and incessant euro-beat drum track, the electronic fans will hate the senseless screaming. In the end, nobody wins.

Play Album

Charles Manson >> Sings

Before Manson and his family went on their infamous killing spree, the fledgling musician tried several times unsuccessfully to land a recording contract. Probably for the best.

Play Album

Various Artists >> Music for Bondage Clubs

Could someone who's been to a bondage club please confirm that this is the kind of music they play at those establishments? For "research" purposes, of course.

Play Album

I'm gonna tie up @Hey_Vampires and give him a good spanking.

Schnuffel Bunny >> Snuggle Song

Get me a sick bag, I can't take it any more. This sickly sweet song, sung by a rabbit on helium, has an annoyingly cheesy euro-pop beat.

Play Album

N/A >> Naisnice

A collection of random instrument sounds, bangs, bleepy noises, meaningless shouting, and lots and lots of very strong drugs.

Don't be lured into a false sense of security by the normal-sounding second track!

Banana Airlines >> Banana Airlines Beste

Look at that album cover. Would you trust your life to this motley bunch of so-called pilots?

Play Album

Brandon Adamson >> Costume Drama

There are some artists who know they are awful and release albums because it's funny. Then there's people like this guy, who I think genuinely believe they have talent.

Crazy Frog >> Crazy Hits

The Spotify Gods have chosen to "bless" us with Crazy Frog's first full length album, featuring all his "hits".

Play Album

The Blackout Crew >> Put A Donk On It

I just saw the advert for this on TV. Although the album isn't [yet] available on Spotify, this is a single from the same "crew", and it's just as awful.

Play Album

98FM Toll Trolls >> Toll Trolls 3

Supposedly a couple of radio personalities from Ireland, their humour is to simply raise the pitch of their voices to an annoying level and make bad jokes and perform worse sketches.

The True Party >> Whazzup?

Woohoo, another blog update! This disaster of a record I found today completely by accident whilst researching the Budweiser 'Whazzup?' adverts on Wikipedia. So I ask you: Whazzup?

Brainwave Mind Voyages >> Subliminal Wrestling Skills

This company has a lot of albums, many of which are subliminal training CDs. From Subliminal Algebra to Subliminal Zither, it seems there's no skill that can't be learnt subliminally.

It all sounds like ocean waves to me, oledid.

Christopher Seufert >> Cape Cod Soundscapes, Vol. 1: Ocean At Chatham's Lighthouse Beach

I'm sure that Cape Cod is lovely. However, Christopher Seufert must really love the place, because he's recorded at least 10 albums of audio from there, 8 of which are on Spotify.

The Bagpipes. A musical instrument so awful it was used in war to drive fear into the hearts of the enemy. That, and wearing nothing underneath their kilts.

Meow Melodies >> A Little Cat Music

I don't know exactly how much purchasing power the average moggy has, but for those cats with an ear for music this album should be pleasant listening.

The Vampires of Dartmoore >> Dracula's Music Cabinet

Part music, part halloween sound effects, and occasionally part pornography, this cheesy album is a real mixed bag.

The Uninspiration Chillout Gods >> The Worst Chill-Out Music Ever Made

I feel like I'm cheating by posting this album. It's intentionally bad, and freely admits so. To add to that, the track-listing is wildly inaccurate.

Play Album

Suggested by plouh. Chill.

Amanda Lepore >> Introducing...

Amanda Lepore is an American transsexual icon who has received attention for her modeling, fashion, partying, and business skills. I can't vouch for any of those other 'talents', but I don't think singing is one of them.

Les Baxter >> Moog Rock: Great Classic Hits

The 70's are well known for it's terrible music. That'll be all the drugs, I guess. But this is something else. Renditions of classical greats from famous composers.. on a Moog synth.

Play Album

Suggested by Rupert. He loves the Moog.

DJ Konnat >> Maailman Lyhin Elama

It takes a brave man to mix synth-pop and rap, but these guys have done it. Every song reminds me a bit of Ebeneezer Goode by The Shamen.

Submitted by Henri. His friends call him 'Ezeer and he is the main geezer.

Ivan Mládek & Banjo Band >> Jožin z bažin w Polsce

The tragic thing about listening to this album on Spotify is that you don't get the visuals of a live performance. Check it out on Youtube, it's unmissable.

Thanks for the tip-off, Sami-Pekka!

The Waitresses >> The Best Of

I'll probably get flamed for posting this here, but I feel it's justified. Could she sing with any less passion? Could her voice be any flatter? Sure they had that one Christmas hit, but a whole album in that awful speaking-rap is too much.

This album is just one of many abominations of the past decade that would never have existed had it not been for the magic of AutoTune.

Is this what a bad trip sounds like? Kids, don't do drugs. You'll produce albums like this.

Derek Bailey >> Carpal Tunnel

Derek Bailey has carpal tunnel syndrome, and that impedes his ability to play the guitar. I'm not personally convinced he'd be much better without the condition.

That previous album was so awful I had to post this, the sequel; with even more horrifying covers of modern pop in a Cabaret style.

I guess I should thank Lizzie again. You're so spoiled, Lizzie.

Palast Orchester mit seinem Sänger Max Raabe >> Superhits

Submitter Lizzie puts it best: "Cabaret takes on Britney Spears et al. resulting in a sound that could be described as 'eclectic'. Highlights include 'We Will Rock You', 'Blue (Da Ba Dee)' and the misleading title 'Sex Bomb'."

Thanks, Lizzie!
