For David Bowie's 'Hunky Dory'. I stumbled across it when I was looking through cd's amazon has put on sale for $10.

===============================================

WHO'S BOWIE????????

Reviewer: MRe "BW" (Paris) - See all my reviews

Never heard of him!!!!!!!!

Someone said he's good!!!!!

Oh my God he's awful, why can't he be more like Celine Dion, or even better the greatest band in the world ever................
GOOD CHARLOTTE

Yes they make truely meaniningful songs like I just wanna live, it is miles better than Life on Mars, and they don't need to pretend they are gay to sell any of their stuff!!!!!!!

Also how about Linkin Park, Numb WHAT A SONG, it is miles better then something like Changes, also Pretty Things is silly too.

And song for Dylan, how pathetic to use another artists name to cash in on your own album, especially when the song is alful and only for the tone dead!!!!!!!!!

P.S

I'm back!!!!!!!!

Bigger better, than ever!!!!!

I am here to save the world from alful music like this!!!!

And convert (save) everyone to music such as Celine Dion, Linkin Park, Good Charlotte, and U2's stuff from this century!!!!!!!!!!!!!

P.S Mark II

The e stands for Expert!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

===============================================

I'm not really sure why this bothers me so much.

Could be a joke. If so, it's pretty good.

You can do this with tons of artists, albums and books.

Look up something unfuckwithable and then read the user reviews from worst to best. The first few are generally pretty funny.

Two stars for London Calling...

I've heard my share of punk rock albums, and I'm definitely skeptical that this one actually lives up to the hype, even though I've never heard any of it. Haven't you people ever heard of Green Day and Nirvana? What about Blink-182? Shan't they count for something? Let's get into the modern age, folks.

I just remember this band's dumb song from 1982 or something, "Rock the Casbod." Man, that song was annoying!! So was the dusky video!! What did any of it mean?

No disrespect to the Clash, for I know they are highly revered, but I feel the Meat Puppets and Journey were much better.

Hope this helps...

Wha? Wha.... I don't. I mean I can't... The Fucking Clash, and you said. But they're so good. And you're so stupid. It's just... Oh forget it.

It looks fake to me. Hopefully most Amazon users don't give much thought to the reviews, because I would guess that 80% of them are either 5 stars or 1 star.

That's where the most/least useful stat comes into play.

I ran across this one yesterday, while researching the band Ride The Blinds. Kinda off-topic, cuz it's intentionally funny...but still :

Imagine Bon Scott, up in rocker heaven, decided to play a joke on Ted Nugent. One night when Ted is drunk and in a good mood from a day of playing with his guns outdoors, Bon's ghost comes down and sodomizes him. Ted, thinking he's turned gay (not that there's anything wrong with that), believes it must be caused by Lynyrd Skynyrd. Why? Because Ted don't think so good. So Ted chases down the Skynyrd tour bus on the highway, pulls up next to it, and starts unloading buckshot. This leads to crazy mayhem on the bus. Some old groupie who has been around from the 70s, long enough to have a throat crusted with the dried semen from guys in both Creedence Clearwater Revival and War, jumps up from between the drummer's legs. Just then Ted shoots out a tire, sending the bus careening, and making the groupie fall forwards onto the drummer. That drummer spews his load somewhere on her stomach. One chance in a million, the groupie gets impregnated with an evil mix of DNA from Skynyrd, CCR, and war. When the kid grows up he learned to play guitar and recorded this album. This is all true.

i read one that went on and on about how Jimi Page was a money grubbing jerk for taking the song "Houses of the Holy" off of the album "Houses of the Holy" so that we would have to buy it on another album or compilation, and that taking it off the album ruined the flow or something.

I've actually thought of doing this sometimes when I'm bored. I will guarnatee you the Bowie one is a joke because they reference Life on Mars which to the hardcore Bowie people is his masterpiece. I love this kind of stuff.
