When You Buy The Whole Album And Only Like One Song.

This is what's so great about Qobuz et al.

LOL never has this been the case for me. But that is why I only have 1000 or so LP's and maybe as many CD's. 

One hit wonders you can stream or listen on the FM. 

For those that suggested that I listen to the whole album, of course I tried that with every album, ultimately, there was only one cut on the album worth playable. 50 years ago, there was no streaming, and you had no choice but to buy the entire album...bummer. Even so, the single good track was worth the purchase, and I have no regrets. On many occasions I've bought the original LP in the beginning, and when the cd came out, I bought a cd copy of the album with full knowledge that only one cut on the album was worth listening to. If the rest of the album doesn't measure up, I'm certainly not going to force myself to listen to music that I don't enjoy, too much good music available to spend time on the stuff I don't like.

Does anybody buy full albums anymore? (I do) Streaming has made artists put out one song at a time. I buy full albums but I'm old school and don't stream. 

Nowadays there are no more surprises....today, you can audition the entire contents of an album before buying it. Prior to the internet, there was no way to audition an entire album. For those of us that bought a lot of music from the 70’s thru the end of the century, we had to roll the dice and cross our fingers when buying an album.  

The only albums I buy today are ones that are out of print or unavailable via streaming.
