Well, I guess the votes are in.  And Michael Jackson and Mick Jagger's
song "State of Shock" is the worst piece of filth ever to grace vinyl.

Wow!  Some sense of perspective you all have.  Sure it's worse than:

1.  Le Sacre du Printemps
2.  The Beatles White Album
3.  Any Throbbing Gristle album

But it's certainly better than:

1.  The entire output of Kenny Rogers
2.  Anything by Rod Stewart
3.  Post-beatbox-wimpout music by New Order (actually, it's about equal)
4.  Larry Fisher ("My name is Larry")
5.  Anything heard in a dentist's office

I think we've all been victimized by the same crew of people who proclaim:
"I don't like that because it's jazz/rock/punk/played on a synthesizer/
played on a guitar/written down in little squiggles on paper", before they've
even heard the music.  It's not THAT bad...  (It's only a flesh wound.)
