you mean like one shot discographies like you find or most torrent sites? or like that 200 year long piece of music that recently had something like it's 8th note played? hehe
personally i like the physical constraints of an album, especially vinyl over compact disc. the CD is great for compilations but generally speaking a 74 minute album is usually packed with filler. with records you had 44 minutes to say your piece, it's long enough to provide the listener with a rewarding experience but short enough that they don't have to make a substantial time commitment.
