Tried both over the years and it seems I like to mix.

Happy accident :
I used to tape John Peel shows.
Cut out the tracks I liked
Rerecorded them onto cassette
Played them in the car

Some work fantastically well together

Back filled and bought all those albums ..... doesn't work so well

Finding this is still true as a play everything by one artist. Often want to go off in a different direction

More music from better kit

One thing leads to another and it's a different chain every time.

I also force myself to following orders of albums

The album playlist comes into order not by choice (except this is roughly the order I bought them)
I also jump off into a place in the alphabet, currently H and cherry picking my top ratings from the selection I have
Every now and again I choose an album or artist to play
Then there is the sampling and following rabbits down holes which leads off in all sorts of directions
Can't even remember where Blue States a current favourite came from
