Produced by Patrice Wilson, the song became an Internet sensation, making it the subject of multiple parodies and ridicule.

This list consists of albums or songs that have been considered the worst music ever made by various combinations of music critics, television broadcasters (such as MTV and VH1), radio stations, composers and public polls.

Albums

1960s–1970s

1980s–1990s

Elvis' Greatest Shit, Elvis Presley (1982) A posthumous bootleg compilation album consisting largely of outtakes and a selection of Presley's movie soundtrack songs of the 1960s that was made to deliberately highlight the worst of his career. Critics largely agreed that the compiler of the record succeeded in picking Presley's worst work.[23][24][25][26] Thank You, Duran Duran (1995) Thank You is a cover album named the worst-ever album by Q magazine in March 2006.[27] Q's deputy editor Gareth Grundy said: "Duran Duran was the one that united everyone in agreement. We put it on in the office to remind ourselves how bad it was. Sometimes these things are redeemed by some sort of kitsch or novelty value, but it didn't even have that. It's not funny for even a split second and not even the sort of thing that you would put on for a laugh if you were drunk." Ken Scott, the engineer of the album, also thought "it turned out pretty badly" and the band considered it commercial suicide.[28] Chris Gerard of Metro Weekly ranked it as Duran Duran's worst album.[29]

2000s–2010s

Songs

The following songs have been named by critics, broadcasters, composers, and listeners as the "worst ever". Examples of sources include VH1's "50 Most Awesomely Bad Songs Ever" and Blender magazine's "Run for Your Life! It's the 50 Worst Songs Ever!".

1950s–1960s

1970s–1980s

1990s–2000s

2010s–2020s

Others

In 1953, following the success of Harry Kari's "Yes Sir...," Tony Burrello and Tom Murray, bitter that their more serious music was struggling to find an audience without success, decided to launch Horrible Records to intentionally record the worst music possible.[59] The label recorded one single, "There's a New Sound" by Burrello, backed by "Fish" by former silent film actress Leona Anderson.[185] In 1997, artists Komar and Melamid and composer Dave Soldier released "The Most Unwanted Song," designed after surveying 500 people to determine the most annoying lyrical and musical elements. These elements included bagpipes, cowboy music, an opera singer rapping and a children's choir that urged listeners to go shopping at Walmart. As described by the online service UbuWeb, "The most unwanted music is over 25 minutes long, veers wildly between loud and quiet sections, between fast and slow tempos... with each dichotomy presented in abrupt transition." The conceptual artists also recorded "The Most Wanted Song", a love song designed based on survey results to feature the most popular subject and instrumentation. Both tracks include, as an in-joke, references to philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein.[186] Classical music media has run fewer "worst-ever" lists than have been produced for pop music, either for composers or individual pieces. There have been articles on the worst recorded versions[187] and the worst classical album covers.[188] The worst song to appear in a film is annually awarded the Golden Raspberry Award for Worst Original Song. This "award" was given from the ceremony's inception in 1980 until 1999 and resurfaced in 2002. It parodies the Academy Award for Best Original Song. Some publications have compiled lists of the "worst" music videos ever.[189][190][191] Album cover artwork has also been subject to "all-time worst" lists.[192][193][194][195] Individual tastes can vary widely such that very little consensus can be achieved. For example, the winning song in a CNN email poll received less than five percent of the total votes cast.[69]

Why are they called sus chords?

Common in popular music are “sus” chords, with “sus” being a shortening of “suspended,” a term we will study in the chapter on non-chord tones. The two basic sus chords are the sus4 and sus2 chords. In the sus4 chord (also labeled simply as “sus”), a perfect 4th replaces the 3rd of the chord.

Section 6.5 Simple “Sus” Chords

Common in popular music are “sus” chords, with “sus” being a shortening of “suspended,” a term we will study in the chapter on non-chord tones. The two basic sus chords are the sus4 and sus2 chords. In the sus4 chord (also labeled simply as “sus”), a perfect 4th replaces the 3rd of the chord. In the sus2 chord (sometimes called “sus9”), a major 2nd replaces the 3rd of the chord. Both of these sus chords have a perfect 5th from the root to the fifth.

Here is a musical example with a sus4 chord.

Figure 6.5.1 . Peter Cetera and David Foster, “Hard to Say I'm Sorry”

Here is a musical example with a sus2 chord.

Figure 6.5.2 . Sara Bareilles, “Love Song”

We will not invert sus chords in this text. In a later chapter, there is a section on more sophisticated sus chords like (left. ext{C}^{9} ext{sus}

ight.) and (left. ext{C}^{7} ext{sus}left( ext{♭9}

ight)

ight.).
