In the past week, I have seen something like a half-dozen "here are MY
favorites" lists, which is something like six too many.

C'mon, people, the readers of this net, and of interest groups 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 ennui that caused me to unsubscribe
to net.movies.  Ranking Bach relative to Yes is at least as absurd as
ranking "Raiders of the Lost Ark" relative to "On Golden Pond."
