It's so easy to pick and choose songs via iTunes, etc, plus they will never be forced to listen through all the songs on an album and appreciate the non-hits. It's a shame. I discovered so many songs I now love having to listen through cassette tapes (and LPs and 8-tracks to some extent).
I'll also add that the skills a producer and/or band have to create a good album is becoming more and more of a lost art. Just my opinion.
