History Horrible / Music

-> ''"(screams and cries in horror and pain) These [[PrecisionFStrike fucking]] songs are '''HORRIBLE!''' It's like Alan Menken's [[RefugeInVulgarity puke]] [[CrossesTheLineTwice somehow mutated]] [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking and started writing music!"]]''

* Ex-Cheetah Girl Kiely Willams tries to reinvent herself as DarkerAndEdgier (and falls flat on her face) with [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cc030yp6-bg "Spectacular"]], a touching tribute to binge drinking, unprotected sex with strangers, and date rape. Features catchy lyrics such as: "Last I remember I was face down, ass up, clothes off". Brings a lump to your throat, doesn't it?

* Arguably, ''Rolling Stone'' magazine could fit this trope well, particularly from the mid 1970s onward when its "ex-hippie baby boomers first" ethos started becoming irrelevant in the face of punk, disco, and new wave. Its lips are permanently attached to a select group of acts (Bruce Springsteen, U2, etc.), its covers perpetuate an outdated sexist view of women, and Jann Wenner is generally acknowledged as being the person who is single-handedly ruining the prestige and value of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame since he became its administrator.

* OMG, nuh-uh, no WAY did they put Japan and Howard Jones on that list of "worst artists of all time"! Do they know what the hell they're even talking about there? Do they solely enjoy listening to shallow dreck that doesn't require any thought at all? This means war.

* A woman named Emma Amelia Pearl Czikai is reportedly suing Simon Cowell for insulting her after [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cPLWhmH5bDc this performance]] on BritainsGotTalent. What makes it worse is the way she introduces herself in the little montage prior to her singing. She claims that her music has brought people to tears. Now we can all see why that is true.

* Celine Dion covered AC/DC's "You Shook Me All Night Long." 'Nuff said.

** Don't expect this album to be removed from this list anytime soon, as the album is still considered a commercial failure, despite the fact that it eventually became a gold record. Lil Wayne's previous album, ''Tha Carter 3'', went triple platinum, and has a good chance at becoming a Diamond Album one day. ''Rebirth'' has sold one sixth of what ''Tha Carter 3'' sold, a significant drop in sales, and it is highly unlikely that it will ever sell any more units. Not to mention the millions of unsold copies sitting in retail stores due to an overestimate of sales.

** ''Thank You'' is a collection of {{cover song}}s originally done by the band's influences. All the covers are poorly done. Probably the worst is [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_k_BgzSDQNk their cover of Public Enemy's "911 Is A Joke".]] Also, the album led to a lot of critical backlash; the band had trouble recovering from it. Critics would reject later DuranDuran albums sound unheard because of this. Oh, and the worst part? You know how some albums get better with each listen? This one gets worse with each listen, and it's insulting on the first listen.

*** The track "I Can Transform Ya" is regarded as the worst single of 2009. The song lacks a tune and has obnoxious lyrics. Even though Lil Wayne is on this track, [[BeyondtheImpossible it's generally regarded as the lowest point in Lil Wayne's entire musical career, including the album ''Rebirth,'' which is]] ''also'' extremely dubious. Fortunately, [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G5IuRsmS4ho the hatred "I Can Transform Ya" received from reviewers can make interesting reading.]]

* Sheryl Crowe's cover of "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZFU9qBEvEVw Sweet Child O' Mine]]" will make your ears bleed.

* Kyle Dennis, better known as [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ow9FiLESA0 Fuck, The Retarded Girl]]. That's pretty much what all his music sounds like right there. He is known only for [[TrueArtIsOffensive shock value]], both on his artwork and in his recordings, (for example, the song "Two Zoophiles" which sampled commentary on a couple having sex with a horse) and, all-in-all, shows little-to-no effort beyond merely evincing discomfort.

* ''Self-Portrait'' by BobDylan. It's been said that "nobody sings Dylan like Dylan," and his voice is effective on his own material. But who thought that a double album of Dylan covering other people's stuff would be a good idea? Ever wanted to hear Dylan sing "Let It Be Me"?

* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dZ94vnmvPrw Jan Terri]]. Her music will make you want to run screaming into traffic.
* Ladies and gentlemen, I introduce you to [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ow9FiLESA0 Fuck, The Retarded Girl]]. If you think Lou Reed's metal machine music was unlistenable, you'll be crying for that hour long recording of guitar feedback back when you listen to this. Pure, utter noise in it's most uncomfortable form. This is the way all of their music sounds, and one of their tracks is notorious for including commentary on a couple having sex with a miniature stallion. Sweet dreams, kiddies.

'''''Important Note''''': When judging sales, keep certain facts in mind. Even a gold record can be considered a commercial failure if the previous record by the artist sold triple platinum. Which is why ''Rebirth'' and ''Results May Vary'' are considered commercial failures. '''''Important Note''''': When considering music for this list, do some research and see if the album/band has had an important role in the development of something else. For example, Metal Machine Music, despite being critically panned, helped form NoiseRock and {{Shoegazing}}.
