Absolutely, some people revel in the charm of poorly recorded or “bad” music. The raw, unpolished sound can evoke a sense of nostalgia or authenticity. It offers a unique listening experience that polished, mainstream music often lacks, making it a cherished part of diverse musical tastes.
Pretty sure that at some point in my life, I owned the Eddie Murphy “album”.
“My baby wants to party all the time, party all the time, party all the time…”
Good luck getting that earworm out of your head…

I have three or four William Shatner albums. [Waves Hand]
I have and enjoy every Butthole Surfers recording.
The most tasteless thing I own are three albums from that Blue Velvet guy, and Twin Peaks, David Lynch. Try this one:
The fact that I really enjoy it troubles me.

Butthole Surfers - yes - ‘Electriclarryland’ - their most popular and my favorite.
Still love to blast this every now and then.
David Lynch - His music is as dense as his movies. (I own most of his films - just because…)
I’m sure you must have come across this one, Al…

That reminds me of a William Shatner joke regarding him starting a poorly named women’s underwear clothing line.

If a recording is bad I’ll still listen to the recording if I like the music.
If the music is just plan bad, there’s no sense in listening to the recording even if it’s recorded well.

Shh!
Not every piece of music needs to be played through an “audiophile” system.
We can listen with PC speakers (external, of course), Airpods and other bluetooth headphones once in a while.
I think you misunderstood my post.
I don’t mind listening to poor recordings if I like the music.
But if the music sucks, I’m not going to listen to it, period, no matter how good or bad the recording is.
