Just sit down and listen to an album from start to finish, the way it was meant to be heard. I love a good playlist as much as the next guy, but the joy of listening to a full album as intended by the artist/band is amazing.
Playlists and shuffle are the best, but also, sometimes give a listen to a whole album from start to finish, and you might discover things you’ll be glad about
Or vinyl, i love the friction of having to flip sides halfway through the album, but walkmans also have portability and mixtapes (still the greatest way to share music with friends in my opinion)
