Wow, I'm glad I bothered to ask this in the end. I don't really like making threads anymore but these are all some very very interesting answers 😁
It's super cool to see that everyone seems to have a unique answer to this, I feel like that's not something I see a lot on here. _________________ kill yr idols
i find that i go through periods where all i want to listen to is old & familiar music, and my ears aren't really open to new music... so i can end up with a backlog of new music i've acquired but not yet explored.
then at some point the old-music phase will end, and my ears will start sucking up all the new music they can find 😄
summer months i amass a lot of music since i have more free time but mainly just listen to favorites and let them open up. winter is more my "expand my horizons in every possible direction, clean up year-end list stuff, etc." time. my favorite times to listen to albums are during bike rides or lying in bed. i've taken recently to listening to about one or two albums a day with fully rapt attention lying in my room in the dark and it's been wooooonderful (mind you these are all-time favorites for me - i'm curious about how this model would work for music i wasn't as familiar with/excited about)
When I was younger, I enjoyed music the most when I was holed up in my room, listening to an album over and over. Now that I have a family, I enjoy music the most at dinner. I'll put on an album--maybe something new, maybe something classic--while we eat. My son is only 2, but he loves music. He has opinions about new albums! It's so much fun to explore that world with him.
