Top Lists of 2012

[Lumenskir]

It's the end of the year, and that means Year-End Best Of Lists! Where you can organize, catalog, and condess the entirely subjective pop culture experiences you had throughout the year into the quasi-formal realm of objective ranking!! Should be fun.

REQUEST: I get that pretty much the whole point of Best Of Lists is to generate discourse and argument over differing opinions of placement. However, just dropping in to say that you disagree doesn't really result in a lot of interesting discussion. SO, if you see a list/item that so enrages you that you feel the need to critique it, at least try and offer a list of your own. It'll be great!
