I don't think I've ever liked a band enough to buy two albums. Or even one album, haha. I just listen to individual songs, it's very rare for me to buy a whole album.

Same with me. I have total album fetish and usually frequent the local alternative record store. It's a shame this generation has no concept of the romanticism involved with record stores and albums. To be fair, most conventional albums are not worth buying - lazy all over - but in the old days buying a record was about saving up, queuing up, putting it in the player, admiring the lyrics booklet and admiring all the associated artwork, front cover etc.

Then you listen to your album the whole way through on a pair of headphones and admire all the small nuances and ponder on the making of it. And because you have done so, you can actually have intelligent debates about artists and there albums past ''I really love that song on that ad!''.

Now it's just downloading instant hit satisfaction in the form of a couple of bytes of sound. Wheres the satisfaction in that?

That's what I love about the album's! It's not the music,it's the sleeves and the cd and all that. And I get home and put in my hi-fi and listen to it,without the earphones though :P

If it's any consolation I'll be deaf by the time I'm 28.

I love rooting through second hand music shops/markets/record fairs etc. I still have loads of vinyl in various formats. Clear vinyl and picture discs etc. I used to scour Record Collector magazine to get hard to find records and use the larger music stores for imports. I still buy Cd's and digi pack formats are great with booklets. I even used to go as far as getting some of the promo posters for albums/12" singles and still have some massive 60"x40" ones from the 80's. I used to be quite obsessive with some artists.

I think generally if people pay good money for albums then yes, they actually listen to them.

Well yeah you listen to it a few times and then you'll skip the bad ones. Albums in which every single song is good are very hard to find.

Yeah always liked take that due to my mum being a bit of a fanatic.

she had tickets once to go before they split.. and i was only young, and apparently had a massively high temperature and was really sick so she didnt go...

so she has never been to a concert by them.

that just gave me a good christmas idea to... lol.
