Ye Old Top Ten Best Lists

A CD collection

As I gazed upon my old CD collection, I suddenly wondered what sort of “top 10” lists our ancestors of old did debate.

As I flipped through my CDs, I had vivid memories of debating the top 10 classic rock songs, the 10 most influential British invasion albums and more. Best song. Best band. Best album. And so on and so on.

When thinking about the middle ages, I wonder what the young people of those times debated: top 10 invading hordes to sack their village, 10 most deadly plagues in the last 50 years, 10 most cruel local rulers.
