Albums versus tracks

You may have seen the widely-reported story in the media about "music clubs", where attendees sit in silence and listen to a classic album from beginning to end rather than the chopping and changing of the mp3 era.

You may have seen the widely-reported story in the media about "music clubs", where attendees sit in silence and listen to a classic album from beginning to end rather than the chopping and changing of the mp3 era.

There have been many light-hearted commentators on the phenomenon, from those championing the music club and bemoaning the instant-gratification of the iPod age to those of the opinion that the digital age has delivered society from the shackles of the album and that 'life is too short'.

This prompted M to wonder what you would listen to if you could listen to just one album from start to finish, what would it be?

M would also like to know what you think - are we missing something by not listening to albums from beginning to end or do you relish the freedom to pick and choose your tracks?
