I play this sometimes over email with my strange Canuck friends….paste a description of something totally strange and see who can guess who/what album it is about.
this one is simply hilarious:
Editorial Reviews
Album Description
He was the man who defined a generation with his soulful voice and boy next door good looks. Now multi-million selling boy wonder ________ is back with his incredible album, a distinguished collection of classic songs sung to perfection by a voice that is once heard, never forgotten. The album boasts a well thought out selection of beautiful, timeless songs.
can you guess who this is?

That's funny, I really thought I had it, but then I thought hmmm, he's never had young boy looks (or however they described it…)

I thought the game was going to be to see what Amazon recommends to you based on your past purchases…though I suppose it's not all that funny. In fact, I usually have 80% of their recommendations.

i thought this would be to find the silliest review of a record posted by someone on amazon… was thinking of starting one of those, seeing as clueless people are allowed to share their opinions.
i.e.
Trenchtown Days: The Birth of a Legend
Bob Marley
"i got this cd, thinking it would be more like his newer (old) reggae, and to me, it totally wasn't. I don't like this cd at all, and i'm going to re-sell it."
Or this gem
The Stooges
"Pretty Awful Album"
Let me say first that Fun House by The Stooges is on my Top 10 CD list. And Raw Power is right up there. Plus I love Iggy Pop. And I listen to lots and lots of different music. Bought this mainly for consistency's sake. Bit of advice if you haven't heard Funhouse, get this first and work your way to Funhouse. If you get way into Funhouse first, this album will be a real big let down. Actually, do yourself a favor, download I Wanna Be your Dog, Real Cool Time, and Little Doll from iTunes or something. The rest of the tunes on this album are pretty bad and irrelevant. Then go buy the Rhino remastered Funhouse and Iggy's remix of Raw Power. The difference between this album and Funhouse sounds like two different bands. They can hardly play their instruments on this album and Iggy sounds pretty tame. Some of the solos are just god awful. Sorry, but Funhouse just rules The Stooges roost

Joey?? (NKOTB) huh?? wtf?
following kosmo's lead…
[London Calling - The Clash]
WELL, THIS IS REAL PUNK ROCK!!!, June 28, 2005
A Kid's Review
This is the ROOTS of punk rock. punk rock isn't Blink182, Green Day, Sum 41, Good Charlotte, this is Punk pop. This isn't New Metal like Evanescence, Lost Prophets, ou Limp Bizkit.
This is a real album. An album that really SUCKS!!!!!
This is some real music, for 40 year old people who like to listen to a song where you can't tell who's singing, if it's the vocalist, or if it's a cat screming inside someone's ass. The whole thing is horrid, the songs are lame. it isn't enjoyable to listen at all - you'll just hope it gets finished soon.
Honestly, any other band that I said before is better than them. THe Clash, Dead Kennedys. Doens't matter if that was real punk rock - it SUCKED! Ramones, and even Sex Pistols (artifficialy made) are way better. A lot of popular bands for 13-year old boys are better.
Just face it, this stuff is old, and decadent. And this never has been good. Wake Up
the world is full of ritalin cases
