Everyone loves lists - bloggers, magazines, tv shows and even cable networks. As the folks at "the Big Takover" said sometimes its too much: "Then let's not talk about Blender magazine's infatuation with lists. By the time you get to the "The 25 Biggest Wusses In Rock" you're scraping the barrel. And VH1 is practically the Channel of Lists."

This summer has seen an indordinate amount of top (fill in a number) lists - and yes, we love lists. So, what else should we do but list the Top Ten Music Lists this summer!

And yes, we're so biased as to put two of ours on the list:

1. Top 500 Songs of All Time: Rolling Stone
Number one because this argument never gets old and it will obviously will never be settled.

2. Top Twenty Five Devil Songs published on June 6, 2006: Earvolution
This ranks so high because I didn't see anyone else doing it and it became a highly talked about compilation. It even got linked Gorilla Mask, the Holy Grail for list makers. And, even if you don't agree with the order you have to admit there are some good tunes on there!


3. The Top 10 Americana Albums: Ask Men
The screen door slams, Mary's dress sways... it doesn't get much better.

4. Top 10 Most Ridiculous Metal Albums: Stuff
How were they able to limit themselves to 10?

5. 50 Worst Band Names: Progressive Boink
There are some good names on the list, but the ones near the top are pretty awful.

6. Fifty Worst Things Ever to Happen to Music: Blender
K-Fed only at #13? This must have come out before his Teen Choice Awards appearance.

7 Five Worst Rap Lyrics from Good Rappers: Cracked
What me worry?

8. 50 Dumbest Rockstar Purchases: Blender
Doesn't everyone love peanut butter and bacon sandwiches?

9 Top 10 Books About Rock and Roll: Earvolution
Yes, another one of ours. Being the people making the list has its perks. Plus, we all need to log off and pick up a book once in awhile.

10. Top 100 Music VideosPitchfork
This is a decent list, but it ranks last because these folks are so unnecessarily arrogant.
