Anyone listen to entire albums?


I assume the answer is yes since many of you run vinyl rigs, but just wondering how many around here listen to entire albums at a sitting?  In the age of instant gratification and playlists I seem to be, recently, gravitating to listening through entire albums.  I don’t have vinyl and only stream or play from a network drive so it’s easy for me to bounce around from song to song, artist to artist.  Maybe it’s a nostalgia thing but I enjoy hearing a record in it’s entirely the way the artist recorded it.  I’ve flirted with the idea of vinyl for the very reason that it seems to be a format that lends itself to listening through an entire album in one sitting.  I seem to be less inclined to make that move though now that I’ve been doing the album thing via streaming.

@jastralfu As strange as it may sound, I have explored more artists and their work with vinyl than I would have with streaming. I only stop listening to an album if it makes the cat bolt through the closed window. I discover so many "B sides", it's really cool.

That exercise keeps the ticker healthy.

I abandoned vinyl because you can't hear an entire album without getting up...

I spin CDs , buy several most every month ,and listen to them all the way through.

Not so much anymore thanks to streaming. We only have so much time to enjoy good music and gotta make the best of it.
