I don't know why but I love lists.
 

Music lists, record/CD lists, that is. Personal faves, whatever. Love making them and reading them.

Recommend some lists you've read that you like.

I know what you mean man.

Sometimes I just go to amazon listmania and look at all the lists.

the ones people make here, especially when they are unexpected choices from people you and thought you knew their tastes

Had to get this off my chest.

i'm more fond of listing stuff i haven't done or tried and intend to investigate than stuff i've already done, tried or investigated.

Ha! Yeah, I do that, too! It's fun.

Same. I've got a backlog list of like 200 bands I need to investigate, separated into decades. Terrible, I know.

Any music/album lists out there on the net you like?

i used to read all those listmania lists but haven't done that in a while.

i think it's something i do enjoy too, reading lists.

Here's a Favorite Films list from Mike Kitchell.

Daughters of Darkness (Harry Kumel, 1971)
Eden and After (Alain Robbe-Grillet, 1970)
Last Year at Marienbad (Alain Resnais, 1961)
Camille 2000 (Radley Metzger, 1969)
Possession (Andzrej Zulawski, 1981)
Lips of Blood (Jean Rollin, 1975)
Living (Frans Zwartjes, 1971)
Fruits of Passion (Shuji Terayama, 1981)
Go Go Second Time Virgin (Koji Wakamatsu, 1969)
Venus in Furs (Jess Franco, 1969)

Others worth mentioning: Teorema (Pier Paolo Pasolini, 1968), Querelle (Rainer Werner Fassbinder, 1982), La Marge (Walerian Borowczyk, 1976), Beyond the Vally of the Dolls (Russ Meyer, 1970), and Funeral Parade of Roses (Toshio Matsumoto, 1969).

I repeat, this is not my list. I honestly haven't seen a single film on this list. My God I'm lame.

I remember in middle school the reeeeeal dorky kids would walk around with those "Book of Lists" books because they were the biggest books in the library.

i make a lot of lists of totaly inane things and mainly at work. i always manage to forget something when i am out so learnt the hard way not to have something to remind me.

Well, it's a fairly obscure list. Nice list though. I've seen 2 on the main list.

I love Resnais, Pasolini and certainly Fassbinder (why "Querelle" and not "Händler der Vier Jahreszeiten" oder "Angst essen Seele auf"? Just curious.) but i could never understand why people like Francos movies...

list of books i need to read:

1. bed - tao lin
2. the rest of the books i keep telling myself to buy.

i like reading 'records of the year' lists and then seeing what albums i own out of them
