I Hate (some) Lists

The end of a decade, let alone year, always brings out an abundance of lists.

"Top 10 Songs of the Year"

"50 Best Movies in the Last 10 Years"

"4025 Coolest TV Shows in [insert genre or time span here]"

Pretty much every published magazine or newspaper has one, five or 23, depending on how ambitious they are.

Lists, in my opinion, are best for many things:

• Grocery shopping
• Christmas shopping
• Shopping of all kinds
• List for Santa
• Attendance
• To Do
• There are a lot more and I don't really have the time to go through it all, but you catch my drift. If you don't then maybe send me an email or something and we can discuss.

Lists I don't fancy:

1. Top movies, songs, shows, etc. of a decade or year

"WHY?! Some people wait years and decades for these lists to emerge!"

As much as I love to hear the opinion of knowledgeable individuals, I find lists to be filler.

I do like recommendations in magazines about the latest trends and to read reviews about movies and music. I've never read a list where I thought I gained something out of it, even mere amusement. They are often times quite pretentious as well. I trust that writers of these lists know the topic at hand well enough to claim they know the best of the best of the best of the last 500 years, but it's all subjective.

Give me the reviews, leave the lists...
unless you're going to the grocery store.
