I know these aren't concept albums,but I can't listen to the first two Ozzy albums out of sequence.

I'd lose my mind if I had to listen to Abbey Road on shuffle. Can not do it.

I hate shuffle. Even when I make a Playlist with lots of different bands, it still has a sequence to it.

I never use shuffle. I hate it.

I use shuffle often, but for certain artists or particular albums, never. Any Pink Floyd or Yes album falls in the never category for shuffle in my book. However, I only use shuffle when I'm listening to mix of records (it's like radio without the lousy songs and annoying DJ/commercials). But if I'm going to listen to one recording, I'm not going to use shuffle on it, no matter who it is.

I do have some YES songs on a shuffle list on itunes, but they came off of compilation albums instead of the original title (so All Good People, Close to the Edge, Long Distance Runaround/The Fish, etc., etc., et al won't get split up like they would be on the regular CD version). I don't have any Pink Floyd on shuffle, it's just annoying. I don't even like hearing Pink Floyd on the radio because I know the ending will be botched (since there really isn't one).

And, of course, any orchestral music is a definite no because shuffle will play the movements out of order, and that is extremely annoying.

I pretty much do albums straight through and personal playlists on shuffle.

Great new (new for me 0.o) feature on Spotify is a lyrics function. You can listen to your faves and see if you actually got the words right. I occasionally am surprised with what I thought the singer was actually saying. Good example, for the longest time I thought "Wake me up before you go go" was "Wake me up, the party's over."

Albums are generally sequenced in an order for a reason and are meant to be played in that sequence. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

I rarely use shuffle unless traveling with some folks and providing the music off the Soundlink as background music to put some different genres out there while we are hanging out.
