Russ Abbot >> Songs of Joy

Funnyman Russ Abbot is not well known for his singing career, for a good reason. This is his third album (according to Wiki) and he struggles to find things to sing about, instead resorting to a series of bad cover versions.

Memories of Underdevelopment >> Throat of a Black Kitten


This bizarre album sounds a bit like my tape player eating the cassette. I guess it's what the musical elite like to call 'experimental'. I just call it 'mental'.

Jaye Mitchell >> Love Streams

Recording industry, please come back, all is forgiven. This.. this is just.. possibly the worst thing I've ever heard. It's only redeeming feature is that I can stop it playing at any time I want to.

Joey Welz >> LOVE MAKES THE WORLD GO ROUND

This guy is prolific, with over 40 albums on Spotify alone. There's no way I can listen to them all to find the one that's most awful, but I don't think any of them are going to be particularly good.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!
