Who's worse William or Wesley?

I was just introduced to the ...uhm...er...music...of Wesley Willis. I couldn't bear more than two songs. The fact that he has a cult following is as preposterous as the fact that William Hung got himself that record deal.

So I ask you; who is worse...William Hung or Wesley Willis???

question

Either record should have been played on Marshall amps during the Iraqi prison torture sessions(?). brick fishslap nuts omfg chair

Muhammad would have gladly eaten a pork sammich' wit BBQ sauce and a Faygo just to get away from that horrible music.

p.s. Wesley Willis recently died not too long ago. Sad, but we're all gonna go! eek

Hey, man...Wesley Willis wrote tons of his own songs, and they might not be considered conventional masterpieces, but hey - at least he was able to get off his ass and do it, and he was able to meet all of his musical heroes in so doing. Also, believe it or not, he was a pretty amazing artist, specializing in drawings of Chicago city landscapes. The dude was a freak, but he had a sense of humor about himself and he lived his dream to the fullest. Laugh at that if you want, but it's more than most of us have done.

True Dat, True Dat. While I'm on the web posting away, Wesley was living life. Nobody expected him to be Tom Waits, but he was out there!!

Will Hung on the other hand should go back to college- Berkeley is near my city- and stop embarassing himself and the dancers his record company hired, PUUHHHHLLLLEEZZEEE STOPP!!!

William Hung is worse, but he puts in a good effort to do what he loves so I'm not going to knock him for that.

I loved Wesley Willis (RIP). I was introduced to his musical stylings back in college. "Rock Saddam Hussein's Ass" is my all time fav Wesley song. Too bad he passed away from Leukemia last year.
