Just because everyone says something is bad, it doesn't mean that it is. This is a compilation of what are supposedly the worst songs ever released. In 1999 Keith Chegwin introduced a show on Channel 4 about the 10 worst songs of all time. This 40-track album appeared shortly afterwards.

The music for this musical is just mind-boggling. I went to see it on stage a few years ago and thought it was great. A year or so later I saw the soundtrack on sale in a store at an airport so I thought why not! I couldn't believe how much listening to the music took me back to being in the theatre. It is so atmospheric and the images are just ...
