Same fucking "Best of" lists with 90% of the same content, slowly broken up and re-distributed
via genre as to saturate the market. Add a few new titles every year. Never really drop any title as
it's more profitable to expand and micro manage the list than edit it.
The same TOP 100 Rock LPs becomes Classic Rock LPs becomes Best Guitar Solos becomes
Best Anthem Songs becomes Best Vocals becomes Best Cover becomes Best Drum Intros, etc.
Best Sci-fi, Best Action movie, Best B&W film, Best Musical, Best Heartbreaker, etc.
Divide and conquer... the profits.
Really apparent how RS keeps cashing in on the SOS, less apparent how the AFI does.
Website traffic?
(Wonder if "Traffic" is on that list?)
Wait until Tinear chimes in with how American films suck.
He'll tell you why Bladerunner isn't on there!
See Gold Rush, Charlie holds up really well decades later!
