5 "Best" Wost albums ever

There are some albums that are so bad that transcend to a new level. They will never be good, not by a long shot and one of these may very well be the worst music ever created on a either an artistic of technical scale. But there is a little something in these that make them special. Something that makes them worth being heard or maybe even revered, but they are not great or good or ok. They are bad and all the more important because of it.

5.) Peter and the Wolf- Weird Al Yankovic

Weird Al does "Peter and the Wolf" and "Carnival of Animals". Of course Peter and the Wolf is filled with some juvenile humor that rarely hits the mark and Carnival of Animals is about animals such as Aardvark, Amoeba, Unicorns, and Poodle. The reason it is so bad that it is fun is the Carnival of Animals part two. The silly openings to the short motifs are smile worthy.
can't find the music but here is Al's spoken intro to all the Carnival of Animals parts

4.) Mad Cap Laughs- Syd Barret

This album has a cult following and is truly fascinating. But with out the knowledge that Syd Barret was going mad at the time this album would just sound like a pretentious anti-music statement that would leave me cold. As it is it is one of the most brilliantly disjointed albums that makes you marvel at the poor state of Barret’s mind as he switches tempo forcing his backing band to change to and even though they didn’t do it right keeping it on the record.
No Good Trying

3.) Attila – Attila

Now this one is really obscure. It is one of Billy Joel’s early bands and as he himself called it, the music is “psychedelic bullshit”. And it sure sounds like the average garage psychedelic crap of the time until you realize something. There are NO guitars. Just Joel on organ (feeding it through wah-wahs and feedback) and Jon Small on drums. This was Billy Joel’s only truly revolutionary work and unfortunately it didn’t workout. Billy Joel could have been the Hendrix of piano, it just so happened that Hendrix isn’t for everywhere
Holy Moses

2.) The Transformed Man-William Shatner

You listen to this album and you think, is he serious or is this a joke? Let me tell you it sure seems like a joke when he is doing “Mr. Tambourine Man” but during the spoken word reading of classic monologues over psychedelic backing makes him seem deathly serious…which in turn makes the album all the more ridiculous. It is beatnick at it's worst.

1.) Philosophy of the world- The Shaggs

Ah the band Frank Zappa called “Better then the Beatles”. (of course knowing Zappa he was probably both joking and deadly serious at the same time.) Before you listen to this album, or any song by The Shaggs, read there story here (or read it in this Octopus Pie storyline that introduced me to them). These girls could not write and could not play. They had a total talent pool of zero. Their story is heartbreaking and kind of creepy. But I dare you to read how this band came to be and then listen to the horribleness that is “Who are Parents” without feeling something.
