Forget about Celebrity Body Parts or Reasons to Hate Singing & Dancing or Movie Cliches– today we’re going to go all meta on your asses. There are a ton of lists that people are telling you to read now that 2006 is coming to a close. Well, here are the 10 Best Lists out there right now. Of course, we still have 6 more lists coming your way here at BWE.tv, so this list may be outdated soon. But as of RIGHT NOW, here are the 10 Best Lists of the year.
10. The 2006 Gummy Awards
It’s official: being voted Mr. & Miss Indie Rock in the Gummys is like being voted Prom King & Queen… if being voted Prom King and Queen was like, not totally cliche’d and trite.
9. VH1’s 40 Most Awesomely Bad Dirrty Songs…ever
Because anything with 3 adjectives PLUS a “…” AND an “ever” is totally worth noting. Not that we’d ever watch it (we’re done watching Color Me Badd videos on countdown shows, that was our New Years resolution in ‘04), but it’s totally worth noting.
8. Rivers Cuomo’s What I Liked In 2006
One glaring omission from Rivers’ list: Asian prostitutes. They’re soooo 2k5.
7. Cracked’s Poor Sportsmen Of The Year, 2006
By the time you’re finished reading this sentence, 5 more members of the Cincinnati Bengals will be arrested. That’s something worth celebrating.
6. Christian Finnegan Rates Christmas Carols Of The Modern Era
This list gets bonus points for describing the song “Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer” as “The very sound of Down Syndrome.” It’s both offensive and completely accurate. How often does that happen?
5. Nielsen’s Most Popular List For 2006
Finally, statistical proof that Daniel Powter’s “Bad Day” was waaay more annoying than Gnarls Barkley’s “Crazy.” But did you really need numbers to back that up?
4. Pitchfork’s Top 100 Tracks of 2006
We’re not sure what kind of mind-f**k the nerds over at Pitchforkmedia are trying to pull by naming Justin Timberlake’s “My Love” the best track of the year. It just doesn’t make sense. It’s strange for them to be so… what’s the word?… right. Weird. This is going to take some getting used to.
3. The Late Great’s Top 2006 Songs Of 2006
2006 tracks, Pitchfork. Suck on that, bitches. Suck on that.
2. AskMen’s Top 99 Women of 2006
We have to give props to the people at AskMen for compiling a list of strong, independent women that’s based on talent rather than physical attributes. I mean, that has to be why Jessica Alba and Sienna Miller finished at 1 & 2 respectively. Right? Right?
1. List of Billionaires, 2006
Alright, so now we know their names. We’re halfway there. Now, does anybody know where they live?
