Are you a song person or an album person?

Which do you usually buy, individual songs, or full albums?

I almost always buy the full album, love having the full package....plus most of the bands I listen to don't make many bad songs.:P

im an album person.

I like both, but seriously, paying for music? D:

People buy music? :P

Anyways, Im a song person.

Its pretty rarely there is an entire album where I like atleast 90 % of the songs.

Albums. Sometimes I get individual songs.

Album. I judge bands by the amount of good albums they have. I don't give a crap if they manage to make one good song, if they can't make a good album they aren't a good band.

I always buy individual songs.

Individual songs - I am yet to find an album that I liked every song of. Most of the music I have has only one or two tracks.

I am a song person.

Album. Even when I just want a song that I heard on the radio, I'll usually download the entire album that song is on, or if I don't like the artist enough I'll stick the one song into one of my mix albums I make out of the individual songs I get.

Albums.

That depends on the band....

I've never purchased songs on iTunes and I don't plan on it. $0.99 is expensive :|Cathan

If it's Iron Maiden, I'll buy the album.

I'm definitely an album person. If I can't get into a band/artist's entire album then I'll stop listening to them.

Music was meant to be enjoyed as a whole experience in an album. Yeah I will listen to idividual songs I feel like listening too every now and then, but I mainly listen to full albums.

Most definatly album. Being a huge prog fan, you kinda have to have the whole album. :P

Yeah, I prefer albums as well. That's why I'm really into prog rock or conceptual albums...I like albums that tell a story.

Albums. You can listen to a song just so many times before becoming tired. Albums have much longer longevity. Track order will do wonders for an individual song. Songs leading up to it will make it sound better.

Well since I actually pay for my online music, I'm more of a song person myself. There really aren't that many albums out there where all the songs are worth listening to, or even half of them. I do buy albums when they're really good, but I mostly just get the songs I like.

Plus prog tends to have a lot of variety, so it's not like listening to the same song for 45 minutes, and then the album is over. Melodic death metal is kinda like that. Not much song variety, but they don't make really long albums, so it's tolerable.

Well, Wintersun for example. I love the band to death, but i can't listen to their whole album in 1 sitting.

Definitely an album person, I've never bought a single song, and by that I mean one song alone. All the music on my Ipod are on albums, and they're all full.zeppelin_64

I always buy albums. It's the way the artists intended us to listen to them.

I'll gladly pay for good or classic albums to support the great bands that have created them. After all, albums were meant to be played or listened to continuously from the beginning to the end.
