In the past week, I have seen around a half-dozen "here are MY favorites" lists, which is around six too many. C'mon, people, the readers of this net, and this group in particular, are DIVERSE. If you want to compose a "top n," glue it on your stereo or rearrange your record/tape shelf accordingly. "Top n" lists are an exercise in narcissism, at best; nobody but the author particularly CARES what your favorites are. This is exactly the kind of mindless nonsense that caused me to unsubscribe Yes is at least as absurd as ranking Raiders of the Lost Ark relative to On Golden Pond. =Ned Horvath=

Ranking Bach relative to Yes is at least as absurd as ranking "Raiders of the Lost Ark" relative to "On Golden Pond." =Ned Horvath=

I found it very interesting to see what other people thought
were good albums. I am still making a list
and i was very happy that other peoples favorites were
mine too. So,ech, somebody does particularly CARE.
