There has been an attempt to scientifically create the worst possible song ever.

I understand if you don't listen to the whole thing.

I didn't either.

They could have put much less effort into and made a sreamo song instead. I didn't listen to the whole thing either just because of the 18 minute length. It wasn't that annoying to me. It was pretty meh.

The only song like that I can think of in my library is Love Song by Alice in Chains. The band members switch instruments - it's pretty ...interesting.

Saying this is a scientific attempt is butchering what the word "scientific" means.

This is fantastic.

Almost as good as this.

Yeah. It wasn't even that annoying. Good job at ruining the definition of science, "scientists"

Someone needs to make a 10 hour song of just recording of static with random notes thrown in every half-hour or so and an occasional grunt or belch. It then needs to be hyped up enough that radio stations take notice. Win if any mainstream radio station plays the entire thing.

If you're looking for intentionally terrible music, it doesn't get much worse than Stalaggh. Pretty interesting backstory, too. They got a bunch of mental patients, recorded them trashing an abandoned warehouse, then blasted that recording in a church as they were screaming and they just improvised some music while listening to that. Pretty hardcore. Worth a read if you're interested.

Being ironically bad is probably worse than being genuinely bad

I actually liked it up until about 4:15 when the children started singing.

I love that song, I first heard it many years ago. Cracks me up.

I have 11 scrobbles of the song in my last.fm library and first scrobbled it in September 2008

My favourite part of it is right at the end, when she starts screaming political stuff at the listener:

"Three thousand years of oppression!
Who enslaved humans of color? Who invaded the Carribbean?
Who murdered all the innocent children?! You did! You! You!"

It wasn't so much a scientific project as an art project

So far it's beautiful. It sounds like something that would appear on Tim and Eric's awesome show
