Good idea? Bad idea? Tried it and it didn't work?

The idea itself isn't bad, it's just that taste is extremely subjective. For example, Gokaiger has a lot of flash and flare, and is a tribute to Sentai's history that many people enjoyed, but some won't be into it due to various reasons (Beyond your disinterest due to the overt amount of CG, with complaints sounding like "I don't know much Sentai, so the suits and tributes mean nothing to me" or just bringing up how it's plot doesn't get any real traction until halfway through), or the extremely divisive Kyoryuger, which can be argued to the moon and back.

Taste also plays a giant issue in making the list. Some people see Go-Busters as a waste of space, others see it as Sentai's equivalent of RPM, so if the person who was making the list enjoyed Go-Busters, they could place it on the list while writing off the criticisms.

I'm not against the idea of such a list, since with so many years of history, it can be pretty daunting for a newcomer to pick a series to watch, but it does have quite a few hurdles when it comes to creating such a thing.
