Worst record ever?

Bo Donaldson & The Heywoods - Billy Don't Be a Hero (not just a single. There (gulp) was an album)

Anything by Toto, ELP, Yes, or Styx.

Slothman,

I strongly disagree!

Not only is Bo Donaldson's "Billy Don't Be a Hero" NOT the worst record ever, it's not even the worst recording of that song. That honor, IMHO, goes to Paper Lace. It is, however, a close call - so props to you, anyway. Certainly one of the worst songs ever to come down the pike.

"Anything by Loverboy. I had a girlfriend in the early 80s who played them over and over. Now if I hear them it makes me want to climb the clock tower with a rifle."

Biffrythm is it Loverboy or what it reminds you of?

Sarah Vaughn singing the Beatles? Something doesn't jive with that matchup. I can't imagine nor do I want to.

Anyone remember Kenny Rankin's "Because of You" released on Chesky back in the 80's? Great audiophile stuff, good sound little music. I play it to unsuspecting listeners as a goof. This guy is bad. He must have been a good friend of David Chesky but then again a lot of the Chesky original stuff was cut from the same cloth.

Viridian tell me you're kidding about Pat Boone, you are kidding, right?

Another set of candidates:

1. The Dread Zeppelin album where a reggae band does Led Zepp. covers fronted by an Elvis impersonator.

2. The Pop-o-Pies album consisting solely of covers of the Dead's Truckin' done in different styles

3. Anything by the Dead Kennedys after "Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables"
