96 tears - yes - the version i listened to was by an artist in that list - :) lol, laughed as soon as i saw list, id like to think of it as less ugly and obsessive and more 'thorough research reflecting a true love of music and a thirst to imbibe knowledge related to a subject you are utterly absorbed by' - sounds better doesnt it ?!! ;)
