Not for me, listening to single songs is not nearly as satisfying as listening to full albums. I rarely skip songs too.

It really depends on my mood. I usually prefer full albums to enjoy the full journey, but sometimes I get the urge for a particular song

As others have said, depends on the album. There are very few albums where I listen to every single song. Seems like there is always one song at minimum that's an auto skip for me. And for most albums, it's not at all like skipping a chapter in a book. Many albums, even prog albums are just a collection of songs with no real tie in from song to song, making it easy to skip one here or there. For concept albums, it's a bit different though.

I generally lean towards albums.

Albums wherever possible, although, I agree, it depends on the album.
 
The main reason I would go for songs over albums is time constraints, like if I'm on the way to work and I've only got time to play a couple of songs
 
Otherwise it's albums all the way

Probably more of a song person. I love albums but more often then are tracks I tend to skip over.
