You're not unlucky, but there are some gems out there. For someone like you who is experienced in the area and can tell garbage from good stuff, it's worth digging around to find the gems.

This doesn't help someone who is completely new to the list topic though. Even worse they're probably going to get bad information.

Maybe an Awesome list of Awesome lists could help

I'm pretty sure there is one already.
