I was just thinking about this. Before we started having CDs, many of us had the chance of playing albums from the beginning till the end.

Sometimes, I feel like the invention of CD and playlists killed that hunger and zeal by many to play songs on an album from the start to finish.

Are you still patient enough to listen to albums all the way through, or have that hunger died away when you play songs on an album?
