Science Creates Most Annoying Song Ever

So this isn't exactly new, but I just read about it on Wired. Back in the 90s, a group of researchers conducted a poll on what elements of music people particularly dislike. They then combined all of these horrific elements into a single song called "The Most Unwanted Music." On the flip-side, they also researched musical elements that people find the most desirable and created the "Most Wanted Song."

Ironically (although not that strange when you stop and think about it), the "Most Wanted" song is the one that'll probably make you want to slit your wrists. The "Unwanted" song, while still not something I would likely throw on my iPod (it's also 20 minutes long), is infinitely more interesting to listen to. The rapping opera section alone (yes, rapping opera) is at least worth a listen.
