Does it really annoy anyone? If so why? I don't get it.
I doubt contradiction was annoyed by your posting the lists. I interpreted his comment as a suggestion to listen to albums as they are meant to be listened to -- in their entirity -- for a change.
This is probably the correct interpretation. Unfortunately, while working I am much more likely to listen to a shuffle rather than an album, because I am likely to become way too focused on listening to the whole album. With a shuffle, I feel like the music comes in and out of my attention, and I don't feel like my ears need to be glued to the speakers quite as much. So yeah, I probably do need to spend more time with whole albums, but it is probably a function of my student's lifestyle right now that I don't. I tend to listen to albums while driving / using my iPod these days, and really enjoy getting the chance to listen through a whole album or two on my daily commute each day.
So here's a big pile o' shuffle, and people can ignore or read as they are wont:
