Nominees For Worst Recording Of All Time


While listening to a downloaded recording on iTunes through my Air Pods while at the gym, I thought that Grand Funk Railroad's recording of Get It Together would certainly sound sound better through my system than through air pods.  Particularly the drum parts.  
Upon returning home I listened to the CD version through my Bluesound Vault, no improvement.  Electric piano was distorted beyond belief, drums had a slight improvement.  Next Tidal through the Bluesound and finally a vinyl recording.  God this album is good through an iPod, but sucks on quality equipment.  I won't go into the details of my system, but four versions confirms that this is a poor recording.
Any thoughts on this one or other turkeys?  I have another nominee which will wait for a later post.

Certainly a very disappointing release for me was Pollinator by Blondie, their first new album in forever.

I REALLY wanted to like it but......
So compressed and vastly overblown treble, so much so that the cymbals were so hissy and tizzy I had to check my tweeters as I thought they were blown.

Another turkey would be Attention Attention by Shinedown.

Just about ok to listen to in the car but that’s it.
