111 Directors I've seen three or much more Movies by

Artists and Bands I've heard most Albums by
among the "at least 3 albums" listened to = totally 181 music artists
(collections are in general not counted here, only original works, or if the compilation consists of such in retrospective, plus some specially collected (live) versions)
"to have heard an album" I define now as having listened to every track on it, at least three times... and still keeping some rememberance of the whole concept as well as special parts...
in some cases the number of albums tells how much I love their music - in other cases just how many/few records they have made
music creators like Burt Bacharach, Fats Domino, Louis Armstrong, Paul Anka and Owe Thörnqvist I've listened alot to though it doesn't show here
