This list consists of albums or songs that have been considered the worst music ever made by various combinations of music critics, television broadcasters (such as MTV and VH1), radio stations, composers and public polls. Albums 1960s–1970s Philosophy of the World, the Shaggs (1969)The Shaggs were formed in 1965 by the teenage sisters Dorothy, Betty and Helen Wiggin. Though they had no interest in becoming musicians, they were forced to write, rehearse and record an album by their father, who believed that his mother had predicted their rise to fame. They composed bizarre songs with untuned guitars, erratically shifting time signatures, disconnected drum parts, wandering melodies and rudimentary lyrics about pets and families. Philosophy of the World developed a cult following, with fans including Frank Zappa and Kurt Cobain. After it was reissued in 1980, Rolling Stone suggested that it was the worst album ever recorded.

Many of these players disowned the record when it was released. It was mentioned as the worst record ever released in a 1998 BBC poll.

Attila, Attila (1970) Attila is the only album by psychedelic rock duo Attila, notable for featuring a young Billy Joel. Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic wrote, "Attila undoubtedly is the worst album released in the history of rock & roll—hell, the history of recorded music itself. There have been many bad ideas in rock, but none match the colossal stupidity of Attila." Joel has described it as "psychedelic bullshit". Tony Sings the Great Hits of Today!, Tony Bennett (1970) Bennett, in the midst of a career collapse, recorded the album under duress on orders from Clive Davis at Columbia Records. It consisted of cover versions of popular songs of the 1960s, and though some effort was made to select songs that were in line with Bennett's Great American Songbook standards,
