>well, I could have included
Same deal, have heard of the band, don't know any of their songs (and I actively despise the music of the beatles. Most covers are good, but the originals make me want to gouge my ears out)

> I included Eric Clapton, Pink Floyd, Supertramp, David Bowie, Radiohead, ELO, Rush

Didn't those named in the text on the right, didn't recognize any of the album art. I have heard of all of them, barring ELO. Again, don't think I could hear any of their music in my head from the song title alone.

The only time I ever listened to on-radio music was when I was going to college in the '90s. So I recognize most grunge bands, songs but not much else.

> I am noticing a pattern that you seem to feel more invested for single songs rather than entire albums

Absolutely. There was like, one album I've encountered, that felt like it was trying to be a cohesive whole. No idea the cover for it; I think it was by Queensryche but don't quote me on that.
I recall liking nearly everything from Smashing Pumpkin's "Mellon Collie & the Infinite Sadness" and there's a Pearl Jam album that doesn't seem to have a name that I feel that way about too (had Animal, possibly Glorified B, I think the artwork was a sheep stuck in a fence).
But individual songs are what we listen to, and also I resent nearly everything about the music industry so that's part of it, too.
