I didn't say it'd be me picking albums. It'd simply be me punching a few buttons playing the new adds, no matter what they were.

I don't think anyone's claiming that there's some inherent reason ALL albums have to play. I don't think anyone wants AM to become an "Album Station." The "radio" feel is too important. You maintain listeners easier song-by-song than album-by-album. For example, if I hated Pink Floyd, I'd sit through "Fearless," but not "Meddle."
Also, my post was two separate ideas, for the record.

No offense to Jim's picking ability, but how is it better than letting SAM pick? It'd still be one person's personal taste. That's the point of having an impartial DJ: it plays EVERYTHING in the library, thus everything gets aired, given enough time.
If we picked by poll or vote, we'd hear "Close to the Edge," "Going for the One," "Tales from Topographic Oceans," "The Yes Album," and "Fragile." Repeat. "Talk," "The Ladder," and "Drama" wouldn't win a poll. With SAM, we'd hear them all in turn, and never a Yes album repeat until they all played.
Again, I like the idea of a R. F. Wednesday album day once a month.
Be cool, my babies.
