No, I didn't mean to imply what you said here, at all. I wasn't telling people how to listen to music. 

Saperlipopette! understood what I meant easily. 
 
Ok. Although it was your post that I quoted, my reply was directed more broadly towards a general attitude that there is a right or wrong way to listen to music.
 
No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands. If I've become a man of the world somehow, that's not necessarily to say I'm a worldly man.

I don't think there is a right way or a wrong way to listen to music. Whatever floats your boat.
Me neither. But Cristi didn't say that it was wrong. No one did.

A benefit of having a digital recording on a computer is that one doesn't need to sit through the whole song if they only want to listen to some section of it. Sometimes, I repeat bits of tracks that I especially enjoy.

Interesting, we have posts for three Eddie Van Halen solos;  'Beat It', 'Eruption', and 'When Push Comes to Shove', and I don't think that's posthumous sentiment.  

Impressive for a prog site.   We love you, Eddie !

Jesus by Queen

I literally cut out the entire song except for the guitar solo on my computer using Audacity, so I have an awesome guitar solo from Brian May, but I don't have to hear the borderline Christian preaching from Freddie Mercury.

This is the only song in which I have done this out of several thousand tracks.

The solo lasts from 1:35 to 3:18:

I luxuriate, ensconced inside the guitars solos that adorn The Music Box, Siberian Khatru, and Aqualung. 
I come for the solos, but I stay for the songs.Wink

I just have a difficult time understanding the whole concept. Then again, guitar solos aren't really my main thing to begin with.

well, I agree about that. I actually only listen to whole albums and not single songs. I took the question more as "what guitar solo do you look forward to?"

I see Smile, although I don't know if that is what the OP wanted. Geek

I'm guessing the only one I can think of that fits is Freebird.

I am talking about the guitar solo in the "blues section" of the track (about 6 and a half minutes into the track)

I'm not sure what is being asked here, but one track for which I only listen to the section containing the guitar solo is Magma - K.A. II. I don't like the track as a whole but love the section containing the guitar solo.
