Bargain Basement Hell

Ah we've all done it. That album/artist - never heard of it/them before but fifty cents, you can't go wrong.

And then you realise you have.

So what "bargains" have you picked up completely on spec, and then wished you could return to the pit from which you rescued them? Testify, brothers and sisters! We're here to help (well, we're here to laugh really, but you'll laugh at our so-called bargains, so it's fair play really)...

You ****ing god damned kids! Don't know you're born. Didn't you ever go haunting the second-hand shops in search of good, hard to find vinyl? No? **** off out of my thread then: I think I hear someone wailing about the bleakness of existence and the futility of life.

I've probably taken a chance on a couple of dozen different titles of 50 cent to 1 dollar "bargains" over the years. Most didn't sound great or awful, they were just somewhere in the middle. However, there is one which stands out from the rest as being so bad it was gawd-awful bad...

Spoiler for Worst Album Ever:

I figured it might be bad in an unintentionally humorous way but it's just cringe-level, unlistenable drek.

It's okay. His father thought he could sing too.
