What's the noun form for "numerous" or "many"?

I'd appreciate it, thanks a lot.

Thanks Philip, but that's not what I'm looking for. I know there's such word, but it elludes me at the moment. If I were to supply it in sentence, it would be in something like this,

The ______ of images and phrases on the bumper stickers are distracting and confusing.

Other words come to mind?

Thanks

Hi,

How about 'a multiplicity of . . . . '

That's cool. As you must have anticipated, I had to look it up. Always something new to learn everyday. One would think the "multiplicity" of new things to learn each day would decrease as one gets old ( you know, like you would accumilate knowledge and your knowledge increase, therefor by definition, there's less to learn as your days have gone by), but I don't think it applies to me.
