Cassettes
Cassettes, unlike any other music medium, made the listener have to play the entire album through. I loved that, and to this day I give every track on an album an equal amount of attention. Songs like Distant Sun or Maybe I’m Amazed or Cannonball are great singles, but are better when listened to as part of the whole album.
Everyone has their favourite scenes in movies, but most of us don’t compile them into a supercut. The scenes are good because of their context and juxtaposition to the other scenes around them. I feel the same way about songs.
