50 Best Reasons for No 50 Best List in 2012!

Two days ago Chris over @gorillavsbear posed the question on twitter "why do some blogs do that thing every year where they post a bunch of shitty magazines' best-of lists"?

So we thought a "50 Best Reasons for No 50 Best List in 2012" would be fitting considering it does the job just as well for end of year filler plus getting to plug a bunch of names we are probably in no way associated with most of the time!

#50: Lana Del Rey is popular - we get it, really!
