Okay, fair enough. However, have you given credit to those songs which appear ONLY on a compilation CD such as "If It Should Please You" from GG2, or the numerous songs that appear only on the "Songbook" CD. ("Remember Me I'm the One," "It's Too Late, He Wins," "Mama Said," "Borderstone," "Never Say Trust Me," and a host of others)

P.S. I can see Char shaking her head at us males who are getting so anal about this exercise, but it's too much fun not to :-)
