What order should I read Elric of melnibone?

Start with Elric of Melnibone. End with Stormbringer. The rest is kind of subject to negotiation, though the classic saga tends to go thus: Elric of Melnibone, Sailor on the Seas of Fate, Weird of the White Wolf, The Sleeping Sorceress, Bane of the Black Sword, Stormbringer.
