When You Buy The Whole Album And Only Like One Song.

i remember john lennon saying [paraphrased] that the problem with music today is that most albums have just one or two good songs on them, and the rest is often just filler ["crap" in his words]. what i do is i make [and have made many of such] compilation CDs with my fave songs from various CDs and LPs/45s/78s] combined on them. 

Introducing the Hardline According to Terence Trent D'Arby?

I too have gravitated more to female vocals in music. The female voice is one of the most beautiful sounds there is. But it is mainly because my system (not on my page yet ) is able to bring out the best in them. I’m not really a jazz fan but Diana Krall’s voice is amazing. All the different generes have amazing female singers. Whitney Houston ,Samantha Fox, Ellie Goulding, Shannon, Adele, etc. etc. all sound great. And the beauty of streaming is I usually only have two or three of their songs in my playlist so I can enjoy them all regularly. I like other generes as well. So much music so little time it seems. Happy listening!

"That said, I still have not developed the taste for jazz and female vocals."

I love female vocals, Sarah Vaughn, Ella’s Fitzgerald, Helen Merrill, Nina Simone, Julie London, Rosemary Clooney, Billie Holiday...could go on and on...man, to not like any female vocals, you are passing up on a lot of great music in my opinion.

Playlists are awesome. Miss albums a bit but ease of use triumphs over tactile satisfaction. And as age creeps ever faster do we really own anything?

Male vocalists such as Armstrong, Torme, Cole, and Hartman rock for want of a better word.
