Re: Concept Album "Show?"

Let me put a spin on the idea. Instead of singling out (favoring) certain albums because they're thematic, what if once a month Wednesday wasn't simply No Request Wednesday, but No Request Album Wednesday. All that would have to be done is for each and every album on AM to have a playlist file (.plu I think), and put those files all in one folder, and then on the given day, SAM grabs from it randomly, with some basic non-repeat programming. We might hear Rush's Power Windows, followed by one of the concept albums here, followed by a double album, like The Wall or Low Level Owl, then a short ep, like American Football's The One with the Tambourine, then Aqualung.

I've tossed this idea out before, and I think it has two advantages. First, it allows all albums to be experienced as the artists intended, each in their own time, sooner or later. Second, there's a little programming up front, but after that there's no weekly programming of a show, requests to keep track of, or personal requests to delay for a show.

My two cents.
