I guess I'm just Single Minded
P.S. my store is on sale!
When I was younger I loved listening to full albums but now I kinda hate it. I make exceptions sometimes though.

I mean, if you're listening to a concept album, then you're really missing out if you're not listening to it end-to-end.
David Bowie's "The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars" is this rising and falling ballad of an alien who visits earth on the eve of the apocolypse.
My Chemical Romance's "Black Parade" builds up this soundscape of different numbers in an effort to emulate a carnival.
One of my favorite indie bands, the Protomen, have this entire track list that dramatically recreates the story behind the Megaman video game. Their sequel is this very folk-western prologue with some banger original tracks that get so much better as you move from song to song. Some songs lead directly into one another to create this rising tension that ends in a cathertic heavy metal payoff.
I'll admit I'm a shameless fan of Progressive Rock. Maybe this holds less true in other genres.
I hate it when I find a song I really like but it’s a collab between 2 artists and neither of them have anything else that sounds similar
I'm even more mad when it's a single song from 1 artist that is just different from their usual. Nothing else they do is similar and you'll never get more hahah. It makes the song special but still.
Dora Jar - Did I Get It Wrong, comes to mind.
Back in the 1900s, I bought the Smash Mouth CD simply because I liked Walking On The Sun.
That was a mistake.
I've heard pretty mid songs that turned out to be incredible albums and I've heard amazing songs where it's the only good track. But I always try to listen to an entire album in most cases. There's so much good music out there, just under the surface.

I just look for the Best Of album if its an older song.
I've done that with artists on spotify but end up not really finding anything then I try on YouTube and find a bunch, it's hit or miss what their popular* songs are on different platforms and if I'll like them or not
That does suck. Sometimes you just need to go to the artist's website and see if you can download the album or buy the vinyl.
