"They Told Me I Was a Fool" by Jandek is considered the worst song of all time.
Here's another one I totally understand why. Jandek clearly is allergic to tuning his guitar. And he doesn't so much as sing as wail.
This is another song that proved wildly influential, though. Jandek has developed a big underground following that's only grown through the decades. There was a good documentary made about him.
