Step 1: Nobody takes individual reviews seriously, whether it's video game reviews, movie reviews, television reviews, and so forth.
Step 2: Use these reviews that nobody takes seriously to create a body of authoritative knowledge on a time period in an entertainment medium, whether "Top X Games of All-Time" or "Best Movies of 2011".
Step 3: Gain huge amounts of web traffic.
Step 4: Shoot me. Holy crap.

1. She's got a great body
2. She's a talented musician and songwriter
3. She has talent and creativity and a background in music, and the fact that she's self-made puts her on a different level than the Keshias and Hannah Montannas and other manufactured pop.
4. She's well spoken and has some common sense
5. She appreciates her fans
6. She discovered Depeche Mode on Youtube
7. She is a rock star and she is helping Semi Precious Weapons bring rockNroll back.
8. She's actually a very talented individual. She an accomplished pianist, and a soulful singer. She crosses the line with every concept imaginable, makes a new one, and crosses that line as well... her Off-the-Wall fashion and demeanor is grabbing everyone's attention. Negative or positive doesn't make a difference to her, because it sells records. She's a genius.
9. She never drinks water onstage in front of anybody, because she wants them to focus on the fantasy of the music
14. She's a singer-songwriter marketed as a pop act with a great sense of what's important in the contemporary art/fashion world. The reason that everyone thinks she's a "pop act" is that The Fame has the shiatty overproduction of a modern pop act. The Fame Monster stuff is stronger material and actually sounds good.

#1 reason why top ten list sucks is because they always break their own rules. The entire concept of a Top 10 list is laid out with a specific topic and guide lines to follow and the author will go along and drop in various items that fit the list and then out of no where will completely break the rules. Like a top 10 hottest women ever would go #3 Jennifer Anniston, #2 Christina Hendricks #1 Tom Hanks in Bosom Buddies

Peter Scolari was the hot one in Bosom Buddies.

Another fault with these kinds of lists is they often just end up being 10 random things thrown together in an order that lacks any thought or measureable reason for the heirarchy.

Top Ten Lists are pretty, awesome, actually.

Teen Wolf Blitzer: Top Ten Lists are pretty, awesome, actually.

Not if they're being written by people who don't hold or deserve authority on a topic. Which, consequently, is "nearly all of them".

1. Top 10 lists don't suck

5. OWS
6. Citizen Kane
7. Hitler
8. I forgot what 8 was for
9. Beverly Hills
10. Shuttle cancelled
11. It's a list within a list, except it's not

/DiCaprio was the worst part of Inception

Top 10 lists are nothing but web traffic grabs. If you think differently, you're an idiot.

Also, this was technically a top 9 list, since "10. See #4" doesn't technically count as a list item.

No More Top 10 Lists by John C. Dvorak. (new window)

No More Top 10 Lists by John C. Dvorak. (new window)

If he put numbers in front of his points, it would be a top 10 list of top 10 lists that shouldn't be done any more.
