let me flip it on you, i have entire albums i like as individual songs. but i don't put the record on the start, turn off shuffle and pretend to be of higher intelligence because i 'appreciate' the work the artist put in to it.

For sure there are albums that are like that, i just don't tend to listen to music like that. I listen to a song, i think "oh, i want to listen to that next", queue it up and forget i wanted to listen to it until it comes up and i feel good about hearing that song i wanted.

And definitely far from the greatest hits only - that's a pretty stretchy conclusion.

edit: the problem i have at the end of the day, is forcing EVERYONE to organize their music and listening like that because the artist says "this is how you must listen to music". Sometimes i know the song i like and i just want to pick them out instead of browsing through another layer of albums that hide the list of songs by an artist.
