Artists that AM introduced to you that you wouldn't have easily encountered on your own
Prince for me. I was listening to music such as Bob Dylan, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Who, and Prince doesn't have much in common with those artists. And now I love Prince, Sign 'O' The Times is one of my all time favorite albums. Also, Elvis.
