and when I say entire albums I am pretty much referring to the non radio singles.
This has been really bothering me.
For example, I will have somebody riding in my car with me going through my iPod and after noticing a band, they will tell me all about how they were really into that particular band and used to listen to them all of them time, etc.. Then proceed to select one of their hit singles from the album. When the song is finished, they will proceed to skip over all of the songs until they get to the next radio single and listen to that.
I will then grab my iPod from them and play a different song from the same album that I think is better and every time they will be like "What is that? I have never heard this song before. It is really good"...
I just do not understand it. I am the exact opposite. When I purchase an album, I will naturally skip over the radio songs and listen to every other song on the album. I will then develop my own opinion of which tracks are my favorite.
I would say about 80% of the time I will consider the radio songs to be the worst songs on an album. Of coarse most of the bands that I listen to don't end up on the radio anyway...
