Read it for what it is worth - just the opinion of some people you don't know and nothing more.
I read the list mostly to see if there are any that agree with me and later when looking for something new to try I might purchase 1 or 2 off the list just to compare.
I agree with Icehog's posts - not sure why people make such a big deal because it does not agree with their favorites. Jeez you don't even have to buy the magazine to get the list.
