DISCLAIMER: The following is subject to change as my opinions continue to evolve.
Lately I’ve been doing a bunch of ranking posts on this blog, so I decided now to just make one post as a “catch all” for all other rankings I may want to still do going forward (so expect this post to be added onto quite a bit as time goes on). In addition to movies and shows, I’m also including studio albums from music artists that I like.
