"whatever you just did, we won't be needing that again."

On this page I want to list those really bad records, released in different parts of the world, that were incredibly bad, incredibly gimmicky, and sometimes incredibly successful.  Let me know any you would like to put on this list.  Any graphics would be appreciated.
