“Here’s a fun game… First, look up the most popular and critically-acclaimed books, movies, and music on Amazon. Click on ‘Customer Reviews,’ and sort them by ‘Lowest Rating First.’ Hilarity ensues! It’s the Amazon.com Knee-Jerk Contrarian Game!” (waxy via boing boing) F’rinstance:

Miles Davis, “Kind of Blue”

• “This is one of the worst albums I’ve ever bought. It’s so boring and lifeless. Good to fall asleep to.”
  
• “its boredom,nostalgia and scarcely concealed contempt make it the perfect background music for this narcissistic age of ours.”
  
• “I found Mr. Davis’ playing to be laughable at best. Finally, it’s irritating; and confusing that so many people laud it.”
  
• “If pretension, tedium, and self-indulgence are your idea of what should animate music, then this is the album and Miles Davis is the ‘artist’ for you.”
