Missed this for some reason. Absolutely love Aretha, I would have gone with "Don't Play That Song" or the title track (most likely the latter).
Everyone's got favorites, but what are the great Aretha Franklin albums? I'd say there are six - I Never Love a Man..., Lady Soul, Aretha Now, Spirit in the Dark, Young, Gifted and Black, Amazing Grace. Plenty of good ones beyond that, with Atlantic and even a few more in the '80s, but if I'm not listening to a compilation, those six stand out for me.

a rose is still a rose is a good later one which makes me want to explore the less canonised stuff more

I would put Soul 69 and maybe Hey Now Hey in there as well.

Oops. I'd be one more for "You and Me" probably.
