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.

I was a digital only guy and then got the vinyl itch.

I almost exclusively listen to vinyl because it forces me to listen to full side ls and full albums.

I have found B sides/deeper cuts are often amazing on a good system vs the "hit"s.  Jimmy Hendrix are you experienced.   Nirvana Nevermind.  David Bowie scary monsters are three example that on digital I would have skipped to something else before working through to tje magic.
