Oh how I long for the days when a few music executives would spoon feed me what to enjoy!

As I've remarked before, streaming music was an eye opener for me. I tried it, but found my attention span was going down, and that the number of times I listened to a particular album also declined. Turns out there is such a thing as too much choice. Our collections are curated by our personal taste, but when all barriers are removed, we seem to simply jump in the deep end and thrash about a bit.
Back in the day I couldn't afford to buy 2, 3, 5 albums a week. It was maybe 3 a month - so I had to play them, get into them. It was part of the deal. Today things are too easy to access, and while I can see some benefits, overall I'd say it has a negative effect on music appreciation.
