I personally think you can judge things by their covers, but I'm not one to rely on my own opinions so I'm looking for your help!

I've created website where you can quite simply Judge a book by its cover (http://www.judgeabookbyitscover.co.uk) - http://www.judgeabookbyitscover.co.uk and what it needs are peoples' opinions on lots of different covers! It is very simple, just get judging!

If nothing else it will help you waste half an hour during your next lunch break, and I know you guys always have an opinion!

p.s I wasn't sure whether this belonged in the entertainment or computer & tech chat forum, apologies if its in the wrong place!

There aren't many good covers on there though, I find myself picking the lesser of evils.

Well, all the covers on there are supposedly top sellers on Amazon, maybe that in itself says something about judging things by their covers!

Big selling artists usually have terrible cd covers, preferring to take the easy option and have a nice glossy photo of them looking all pensive, rather than attempting something creative. This is usually reflected in their music too; simple, dumb, trash. See James Blunt, Robbie Williams, Jack Johnson etc etc.
