Ok gang....Here is PART 1
I had to split this up due to the 10,000 character limitationin posting on the board.
I have this in chronological order based on PAGE in the thread.
This way you can go back and read the comments of the person posting etc...
If someone wants to put this in a spreadsheet so you can sort but name, album etc..this would be nice, but its a lot of work to get there.but I would think it would not be that difficult to do this if if desired.
I know I might have some mis-spellings etc, but its close enough to identify the recommendations.
Lots of great stocking stuffers for sure!!
