The Most Unwanted Music by Komar & Melamid and David Soldier
What would you get if you took a survey of people's musical taste and attempted to make something universally reviled? Komar & Melmaid did this survey, and worked with David Soldier to create The Most Unwanted Music. Wired tells it right: "It’s actually a fascinating listen, worthwhile for the opera rapping alone."
