To me, the order of tracks on an album is sacrosanct and I always listen
in strict sequence, even when it's a CD, unless I just want to play a

downloads are all the rage and tracks are stored en masse on MP3
players. See the phrase "The £12,000 speakers were revealing little
nuances of sound that some of us had not heard before." in this

What goes around, comes around! :-)

As a prog fan I always listen to an entire album at once.
But in many cases it is unnecessary. As for 'all of Led Zeppelin',
it really applies only to the first album. Physical Graffiti and Coda
should be split up and the tracks added to the albums they were rejected
from in the first place.

You can pick up a Dickens book and read a little bit of it
and get some pleasure but you will not get the same pleasure
as you would picking it up and reading it from beginning to end."

Is it physically possible to read a Dickens novel in a sitting?
Without amphetamines, of course. I'm not referring to speed-reading.
