Pretty much everything that's already been said, really.
There have been instances where I've heard a single song on a mix a friend was playing, or songs that I'm really familiar with I've put into mixes myself, but for the first listen especially, I much prefer listening to an album in its entirety.
I also listen to a lot of live shows (Phish, The Grateful Dead, Trey Anastasio, Gov't Mule, The Disco Biscuits, etc.) and find it difficult to listen to individual songs from the shows, preferring to listen to the entire concert from beginning to end in one sitting.
I think I just prefer having the whole package and not just little pieces of it.
