Staff Top 10
Individual writers published personal top 10 lists on whatever they wanted — and the topics ranged from the serious to the unhinged. Todd Burns submitted Top 10 Underrated Tecmo Super Bowl Players. Andrew Unterberger ranked Top 10 Pictures of Thom Yorke Looking Pretentious. Nick Southall did Top Ten Things Which Define Englishness. Albums from 1995, best indie guitar riffs, books never finished, filler songs — 32 installments of pure idiosyncrasy.
