Will do. I take notes on threads like this and add things to my 'to listen to' stockpile. I have discographies accumulating and it is a bit overwhelming, but I am almost through with my final evaluation of the albums I bought over my life and then they are away and only new stuff (or very old, but recently gathered unlistened to old stuff). You may have detected a little OCD in my behavior.

Oh, and I would like to add Complete Collection by Diana Ross as I think some those Supremes songs and early Ross singles are some of the most sublime pop music of all time. I love that stuff.
