I'm back at work on editing Batmite 76's Chronology list, but I need help.

I noticed that Joker's Five Way Revenge (Batman 251) wasn't on the list. I also noticed the only Pre-Crisis O'Neil story that was on the list was the Ra's Al Ghul stuff.

I am totally ignorant of the 70's era Batman, and need some help. I just want to know some good O'Neil stories, along with any other non-continuity conflicting stories from Pre-Crisis Batman.

PS: Strange Apparitions is on the list, so no need to list the issues listed in that TPB.

An excellent (if a bit dated now) look at Batman's Canon was featured by Bob Rozakis. Of particular mention to address your query is this particular bit:

For the most part, writers don't even bother flashing back to the era represented by comics from the late 1960s to the mid-1980s when Dick Grayson was in and out of college, Batgirl was in Washington and Batman was going it alone. As a consequence, most of the Batman-related stories written by Robbins, O'Neil, Maggin, Rozakis, Wein, Conway and Moench can still be accepted as canon even if they haven't officially been recognized as such. This fascination with the Year One-Year Two incarnation of the Dark Knight has its advantages.
