There are quite a variety of amazing lists posted at fimoculous.
There are some great music lists posted there. I tend to savor the more unusual listings. Here are my personal favorites:
Best UFO Photographs.
Top Gay Cars.
and
Top 60 Japanese Buzzwords.
Fimoculous, where their motto is “feeding on itself”.
I’m working on my book lists right now.

I didn’t mean for you to publish that. If you’re into lists, that link takes you the crackhouse of all links lists. I’ve spend many an hour clicking on Rex’s links. Wait until mid-December when he starts adding the lists of lists, and the “Best of” categories subdivide and get their own pages.
