If you had to choose 12 A&M albums that best represented or defined the label from 1962 to 1989 (when the label was sold), which ones would you pick? One tip might be to think of your unique way of introducing the A&M label to someone who is not familiar with it. For this list, A&M-affiliated labels like CTi and Horizon, the Latin American divisions like Almo International and AyM Discos, etc. are all fair game. You may also offer multiple lists; however, they cannot be a "part one/part two" to extend your choices to 24, for example. Instead, they can be different themes. (One might be best sellers, where another might be critical picks or personal favorites, or perhaps a jazz, R&B/funk or rock theme.)
As usual, rule #1 is to choose only a dozen albums.
Rule #2--only one album choice from a single artist; Rule #2A--a group and solo artist can be considered two different artists (TJB vs. Herb, Humble Pie vs. Peter Frampton, etc.).
My list is forthcoming, once I finalize my thoughts on a handful. Let's see your picks!
