TBH I only listen to Dark Side of the Moon in its entirety when I played it while watching the Wizard of Oz. (I think if you cue in the CD on the third lions roar it syncs up to the movie.) I've heard Pink Floyds songs so much on the radio I never felt the need to go to an album to listen to them. Same with Nirvana and Smashing Pumpkins. I think Soundgarden was a band I like to listen to the album as a whole. Soundgarden's Supernuʞuoʍu and Down on the Upside were ones I like to go to for their mood and energy they had.
I think it is up to the person how much time and energy he or she invest in music appreciation. I don't think it is different today. There is more music to explore than back then. And there are different reasons to listen to music, dance music, background music etc. With i-phones, youtube and dozens of music sites (e.g. discogs, last.fm, MB <-what that? & plug.dj etc.) I think people have the same chance (or even better chance) to get involved with music as they did back in the day when the only out-lets were radio and the record store, & Rolling Stone-ish music rags.
