A subjective subject about really bad music!

Information like the following are always interesting because it completely depends on the opinions of the author(s). I know I feel some of the songs listed as "worst ever" are FAR better than others I've heard. In fact, some I have no problem listening to at all. I just think it's funny how everyone is expected to take someone else's opinion for subjects like this!

such bs. True by spandau ballet is a great song. But I'm not surprised Kfed made the list. :D:D

"Philosophy of the World, The Shaggs"

You have to be kidding me, this is a Mothers Of Invention-esque masterpiece.

You may have also noticed that Kanye isn't mentioned once in the whole article.

I was just reading the Wikipedia entry for Philosophy Of The World and it seems one reviewer described their guitar strumming as like "someone worrying a zipper"

The Shaggs were three teenage sisters in New Hampshire: Dot (Jamey Hood), Betty (Sarah Sokolovic) and Helen (Emily Walton) Wiggin. Their millworker father, Austin (Peter Friedman), believed, thanks to a prophecy, that his girls were born rock stars - and his way to a bigger and better life.

He removed them from school, had wife Annie (Annie Golden) teach them at home and forced them to form a rock band.

Very Mama Rose, very "Gypsy."

No matter that the trio had no interest. Or talent. They were God-awful musicians.
The Shaggs cut an album in 1969: "Philosophy of the World." It cost the family its life savings and reaped untold emotional wreckage.

Eleven years later, the LP became a cult hit, embraced for raw, unvarnished vocals and instrumentals.

Hehe...
