Worst Music Ever! (part 1)

I'm sharing this with everyone, I give no claim to it and am using it under the acceptable use policy.

Found here, uploaded in three parts, it is 20+ mins long!

An online poll conducted in the 90s set Vitaly Komar, Alex Melamid and David Soldier on a quest to create the most annoying song ever. After gathering data about peoples least favorite music and lyrical subjects, they did the unthinkable: they combined them into a single monstrosity, specifically engineered to sound unpleasant to the maximum percentage of listeners. The song is not new, but it resurfaced on Dial "M" for Musicology.

Amazingly, this "most unwanted music" contains little dissonance — that would have been too easy. For the most part, they seem to have tried to assemble these elements in a listenable way.

Komar & Melamid and David Soldiers list of undesirable elements included holiday music, bagpipes, pipe organ, a childrens chorus and the concept of children in general (really?), Wal-Mart, cowboys, political jingoism, George Stephanopoulos, Coca Cola, bossanova synths, banjo ferocity, harp glissandos, oompah-ing tubas and much, much more. Its actually a fascinating listen, worthwhile for the opera rapping alone. (We didnt think that was possible either.)

[Bluyoshi8z]

I actualy Thought the Lyrics to the Opera Rap were hillarious. I need that song by itself.

[Saxifrage040210]

I love bagpipes and Rock Lobster-esque anarchic opera and pipe organs. Not so much the bossa nova or children singing. It was exciting and enjoyed it.

The little bit of atonal  schöenbergness I like the rest with the children freaked me out

You're missing justin bieber, lady gaga, rhianna,Chris Brown, lil Wayne, Kesha, and pretty much all of the shit so called " Artists" today.
