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.

Play Album

I have a craving for some catnip now.

John Barrowman >> Music Music Music


I made it through the rain, I kept my world protected. I made it through the rain, I kept my point of view. I made it through the rain, and found myself respected, by the others who, got rained on too, and made it through.

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.

Play Album

Submitted by Beany. Awful music is his pornography.

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.

Play Album

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.

The Flatulent Phantoms >> Halloween Monster Farts


Breaking news! Just when you thought you'd heard all the Halloween farting albums on this blog already, it turns out there's another one!

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.

Los Inhumanos >> Cara-Dura


Let's just take a moment to appreciate that wreck of an album cover. And now, let's listen to the Spanish language version of Nellie The Elephant. Tragic.

Don't blame me, blame Stephen!

Katie Price & Peter Andre >> A Whole New World

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.

Play Album

Thanks to submitter Stephen, who is always pitch-perfect.

Afrirampo >> Kore Ga Mayaku Da


I can't even understand what they're singing and I can tell it sounds bad.

Play Album

John Zorn >> First Recordings 1973


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

Play Album

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.

Various Artists >> A Buddha Lounge Tribute to the Beatles


"Mystical Far Eastern Versions of Classic Beatles Songs". These songs are neither mystical or far-eastern. They're just bad.

Play Album

Thanks again to Stephen, who is definitely very mystical.

Otomo Yoshihide >> Anode


"OK, here's the plan. We fill this room with instruments, then invite a bunch of six-year-olds in.. and record the result!"

Merzbow >> A Taste Of...


I just don't get it. Why is this popular? OK it's Japanese and Japanese culture is popular, but this is just noise.. quite literally.

Palast Orchester mit seinem Sänger Max Raabe >> Superhits 2


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.

Play Album

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'."

Play Album

Thanks, Lizzie!
