My vote goes to the Ponce Sisters. Pick your recording. Pure agony. I picked this one at random.

I listened to the whole thing and I have to say I didn't find it that bad. It wasn't good either though. I would not pay for it, but I would take it in a lot of records.

Yes, but would you play it? I have one of their records I would gladly give away.
