I believe "first contact" refers only to making formal contact with the a society of sentient lifeforms, not merely encountering giant electric eels or space clouds.

Well, I've counted about 64 on those two lists that you could still count as "first contacts" (discounting all those that fall into the category of non-sentient creatures) - even without Eight of Nine going on to complete the list, that's more than the combined first contacts made by the combined crews of TOS, TNG and DS9.
