Agreed.  When I look at the list and find some of my favorites along with
some I've never heard of before, I immediately think "What am I missing?"
It's so easy to just buy your old favorites, and never find things that
are new and wonderful.

I did the same thing with a SF list from the net several years ago.  I
made an effort to collect all the titles on it.  I found some real boners.
But I also found some books and authors that I never would have thought
to read which were wonderful.  Albums are more expensive than used
paperbacks, but I am going to do the same with the list of records.  I
figure just one new high-caliber album is worth it.
