I wonder if folks who post on threads like NP and What Albums Did You Listen Today? are being influenced by it. Personally I've been listening to albums with surround mixes more consiously after I started a thread on that subject.

B.t.w. the last time I listened to my collection from the beginning was in the early 80's when I had about 400 LP's. With more than 6000 CD's/LP's I won't start that expedition again, knowing I won't reach the end in time.... (I played them not alphabetical, but chronological based on the date of addition to my collection.)
