I'm not so much looking for band or song advice, but for listening advice, I guess. Do you sit down and do nothing while listening to a new album for the first time ? Do you just queue it up and listen to it in the background ? How do you find music you like ?

Anytime I listen to an album I've never heard before- new or old - I try to give it my undivided attention. That may not be the first time I'm listening to it -depending on my mood- but within the first 3 spins. After that, I feel comfortable listening to the album while surfing the web, working or driving.
You might try All Music Guide -
