You had me there,  too, brother!  Some great points you have made ... I
fear that when I finally get my ass in gear to do my top 20, I'll face
some of the same issues.  Since converting most of my listening to
iTunes/iPod, while I still usually listen to "albums" from track 1 to N,
I have found that I don't study the album cover, pour over the lyrics
and read all the "thank yous" like I used to.   As I get older, I still
find myself enjoying great music, but it's somehow more in the
background than in the forefront.  Does anyone sit around and just
listen to albums anymore?

Looking forward to your list, Drew.
