Tradition doesn't have to smite common-sense ''every'' time! Look,
it's so elegant and logical ^_^
Biography - Bibliography, Discography, Filmography


It would be similarly confusing to use "Discography", as it applies in
its alternate meanings
(http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=discography), for such
things as a list of "Further listening" or 'subject-primer-material',
in a broad topic like [[Dixieland]] (which actually has the expansive
[[List of Dixieland standards]]), such as this thread was originally
about.
