Various Artists >> Vile Pervert - The Music

The music from the musical of the same name, with lyrics like "There's nothing wrong with buggering boys/as long as they're doing what they enjoy" and "Look at him, he's a vile pervert, ogling boys and lifting his shirt". Tragic.

Lance RomaƱce >> Sonnets Set To Music


This is one of those albums where you start to wonder whether the artist is serious. Do they think they have talent, or are they putting the album out as a joke?

Axe Men >> Barack's Greatest Hits, Vol 1


Take a bunch of popular rock songs, and replace any mention of the word 'rock' with 'barack' and work from there. A very silly concept but quite well executed actually.

Jim Weiss >> Abraham Lincoln and the Heart of America


Abraham Lincoln was a very tall American man who lived a long time ago. Hear the story about this unknown stranger told by Jim Weiss, the highlight of which being Jim's vocal impressions of those in the story.

The Sun Harbor's Chorus-Documentary Recordings >> America's Bugle Calls


The Bugle, America's most noble and versatile of instruments. But would anyone really want to listen to an album of nearly 60 bugle calls?

Eduard Khil >> I Am Very Glad, Because I'm Finally Returning Back Home (Trololo)


The Trololo song comes to Spotify, sadly without being able to see Eduard's manic grinning face as he shuffles around the stage in his brown leisuresuit. For that, you really need Youtube.

Various Artists >> Love Making Songs

I'll let our submitter Ben do the talking here: "This is shocking - worse than it looks.. yep, worse than the cover art. Not some bad compilation - mainly the work of one "Will Henry" who seems to think you'd want to get your rocks off to his piss-poor drum-machine-and-Casio rip-offs of the Crusaders."

Various Artists >> Beethoven's Farth

One of these things is not like the others, one of these things just doesn't belong. This album of party hits is pretty non- descript, but one song stands out above all others. Who would have thought Beethoven was such a flatulent guy?

Album removed.

There was another album here, but I've removed it. The artist whose album it was has displayed their ignorance by contacting me, accusing me of breaching copyright by posting my review and by linking to the album on Spotify.

Despite my attempts at explaining that I have no association with Spotify besides being one of it's users, and that the artist had, either directly or indirectly, approved the album to be published online themselves, they persisted in their endeavour to bully me into removing it.

This artist has supposedly contacted their attorney over this. In one email, they demanded $1,000 per year to publish their works, again not understanding that they are trying to negotiate with the wrong people.

So, because I'm just a user, a normal guy doing something perfectly legal by reviewing their album and linking to it on Spotify (a perfectly legal music service, comparable to iTunes), but don't want this hassle, I have removed my review.

Now you, readers of this blog, cannot know about this album, cannot listen to it on Spotify, and the artist will receive no revenue for you doing so (which they would otherwise have done).

Ladies and Gentlemen, this artist truly is The Best of the Worst of Spotify.

Birgit LĆøkke >> Forbidden Forest


What is this? Is this new age? Experimental? Or perhaps it's just mental. Bells, clangs, ethereal noises, bangs and other strange sounds make this album particularly droll.

Brainbombs >> Urge To Kill


After listening to only a few songs from this album, my urge to kill is definitely rising. It's monotonous, droll, loud, and senseless. Is this music? I just don't get it.

DJ Master Mix >> Dance Fever TV & Movie


Take some famous TV theme tunes, and then proceed to crap all over them by adding a horrid beat and synthesiser sounds.

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'.

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.
