Future Second Lady Tipper Gore, busybody

Who can say what the world's best worst music is? With bands like Deicide, The Agonist, Die Antwoord, Dimmu Borgir, Cradle of Filth, and Taylor Swift, it's too hard to decide.

But censorship expert Tipper Gore (Al Gore's trophy wife) helped form the PMRC, to meddle in kids' music. Parents and music industry corporate lawyers joined forces to change nothing, but some labels were added to things.

And back then it was mostly filthy Black rappers with their obscenities and overtly sexual lyrics. But there was one stand out band on every "Bands to Ban" list, and that was Cannibal Corpse, white potheads from New York and Florida, bringing horror films to life.

What would a real corpse even look like?

"Hammer Smashed Face" became the greatest hit in the genre of grindcore/death metal, the fastest, most vicious, most offensive music anyone could think to make at the time.

And this makes them our choice for world's most horrifying band, even after cutting the leading force and innovator Chris Barnes for George "Copycat" Fischer, who did more to grind up and serve the Corpse than come up with anything new.

We blame abuse of this medicinal plant.

For new stuff, one had to resort to Six Feet Under and other bands like the amazing Carcass or Barney's Napalm Death. There must be other bands, more evil, more sinister, more subversive (like A**l C**t and that funny album of love songs), but this whole genre is harmony-destroying thrash-and-burn manna from heaven.

How's wife-swapping sound to you, Bill? - Sounds good, VP. - Oh, I thought we were... - NO, Hillary! I don't know where you got that idea. No one said a word about that! - Well, I just assumed, right Tipper? - Bill, can I see your mansion? - I'll show you my ranch, Hillary. - I've seen your stupid ranch, Al. I'm going for a walk. - Bill? - Yeah, Al, c'mon, you can watch. (Toronto Sun)
