I have to say I assumed there'd be a Fall song I always listen to all the way through, but none's come to mind just yet. On the other hand, the watchword is repetition, repetition, repetition, so perhaps they're not a likely choice as once you've heard the same bass loop for 17 mins, you don't need the last 3..
at kidstoday's lack of attention, unless I'm listening to an album, I'm also prone to skipping to the next song once I've absorbed a few verse-chorus-verse-chorus loops, as by that time, the song's given me much of what it has to offer. It's about this time in a bottle of wine that I bung the cork back in and save the rest for tmrw.
Where was I? Out of space (its a really nice place). Of course
I have been known to skip to the end of a song, even one's I love, because I'm either not quite in the groove, or looking for a particular track. But that is always in the car, as it can easily be done with a press of a button on the steering wheel. I quite often press repeat on a track and can listen to it 4 or 5 times in a row and many of them I first heard in the 1970's. However, all my tracks and albums are stored on the car's hard drive and played in shuffle mode (which is quite good for a game of 'guess the intro').I have to say I assumed there'd be a Fall song I always listen to all the way through, but none's come to mind just yet.

As you "started" the thread Paul, I'll take this opportunity to say what I was getting at
Despite your presumed eye-rolling
There are a very few though, where the juice just keeps giving to the end so I always listen through. I suppose the definer is some combination of complexity and staying power.

What in case the phone's been disconnected?
Bang on Ray - songs that you'll usually listen to all the way through, whose fuse isn't fully burnt out by the 3rd chorus as most songs sadly are - a killer lyric in the last verse; a random artefact witout which the song isn't complete but only occurs late on so the finger remains away from the "next track" button*
That's beautiful, Tom. Pity it cut off so abruptly at the end!
I know the Popp recording. Made from the same mold as della Casa IMO. Jessye Norman sounds glorious but far too large for this music, and these works demands clear diction. Not a fan despite the wonderful voice. I like Schwarzkopf/Szell (haven't heard the Ackerman) though some find her too "coy" - for lack of a better word.
