If you pay any attention to the sidebar on the right of this blog, you'll notice that I am a big fan of "lists". Top 10 lists, top 100 lists, whatever it might be, I enjoy a good list. This being the last month of 2006, the interweb is filled with year end lists of everything from top movies, top albums, and top albums about movies. In the past I've done my own year end "best of list" which would cover those typical areas. This year I'm going to do something a little different:
My Top 6 List of Lists from 2006
Top 6 Lists of 2006
Posted by on Wednesday, December 20, 2006 - 1 comment
These are in no particular order. Click on the lists at your own risk, some may contain bad words or bare boobies. You have been warned.
1. Top 10 Bad-Ass Robots
It's 2006, which makes it high time that we realize that robots are taking over the world. In the not too distant future, they will be our over lords, and we will be nothing but some sort of protein type nutrient that cools their gigantic over-clocked processors. We can only hope that our future masters will be as awesome as the robots in this list.
2. 50 Worst Artists in Music History
There are some incredibly crappy bands on this list, with some pretty funny commentary added by the list compiler. I would like to be able to be all "I'm cooler than everyone because i didn't listen to that crap", but in reality, i have at one time or another, owned albums by at least 14 artists on the list. I refuse to tell you how many i still own.
3. Top 50 Music Videos of 2006
Does anyone actually remember when Much Music used to play music videos? Yeah, me neither. It seems all they play these days are crappy shows about what kind of underwear Britney Spears isn't wearing, and how much MegaCelebrityNumber 99 spends on teeth whitening and back waxing. This list has some very cool and incredibly creative videos on it. I think the internet might actually be saving the art of making great music videos.
4. Top 10 Fake Movie Trailers of 2006
Who needs real movie trailers anymore - when you can take old movies, mash them up and make really funny new ones? The Mary Poppins one is terrifying, and the Ten Commandments one is hilarious.
5. 25 Really Addictive Flash Games
Heed the warning! These games really are addictive. They may not seem it at first, but trust me, they can lead to hours of fun which ultimately leads to hours of frustration trying to beat your co-workers high scores. Last year the "Kitty Cannon" game almost led to our company going out of business. Well, not really, though it did make me pick up my Ibook and almost throw it out the window.
6. 50 Greatest Commercials from the 80's
As a child of the 80's i can honestly say that it was not the greatest decade. Historically speaking, the only thing those 10 years will be remembered for is bad haircuts and the overuse of "the synthesizer" in all forms of music. When i think of the 80's i think of all the TV shows that i thought were the greatest shows ever, but when i watch them today, all i notice is the bad hair and synth music in the background. Though when i do watch the re-runs, i sometimes wish they would show the old commercials too. Well, now, thanks to the internet, i can watch those old commercials as well. Is it sad that i can still sing the words to many of the jingles in these commercials?
