Do you listen to entire albums anymore?
Back in the day when you only had a cassette tape you pretty much listened to it from start to finish and started again or changed cassette and repeated the process. With the CD it became easier to skip a track that you didn't like, or play your favourite ones a few times in a row, but you still pretty much listened to the whole, or most of an album whilst it was in your CD player.
Now with the advent of MP3 players, Ipods etc. it is very easy to shuffle around ever song which you have on it which could be 100s into the 1000s. So do you now find yourself shuffling around all your tracks rather than just enjoying entire albums all at once as they should be listened to?

Don't worry, Flip. Mental illness no longer carries the same stigma that it used to!

I've never really enjoyed listening to entire albums. From the days of vinyl onwards, if you purchased an album with 12 tracks on it you'd typically get one 'top 10' track, one 'top 50' track, two or three other 'half-decent' tracks and 7 or 8 tracks which were simply 'making up the numbers'. Very few artists or bands could produce albums which were of high quality throughout (with the notable exception, of course, of Dire Straits!).

I love listening to an album from start to finish. I am the only person I know (of my age) that still buys physical cd's. All my friends download their music from iTunes or whatever. After spending money on something I like to actually have it, rather than having a file on a computer. They all think i'm odd! :|

LOL! That did actually make me laugh out loud, which doesn't happen often. Must be all this Steps! :D
JJ, yes, hits. They've had loads of hits. And this coming from the woman who rates "Chalet Girl" as a top film! Hehe.
Erin, oh I don't know about that. Not sure if these old knees are up to it... :)
