Vacant Horizon Posted May 6, 2014 Author Share Posted May 6, 2014 The Doors, every albumI can't listen to them either. I totally wore out that double disc greatest hits collection. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
smells like flowers Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 Nevermind and Gish. Made my college roommate sick of 'em, too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

froggie Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 Jagged Little Pill. the odd song, yes, but the whole album straight through?.. nup Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PopTodd Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 I take careful measures not to listen to my favorite albums too often, to avoid things like burnout from happening.I want to be able to enjoy my favorite albums forever. Of course, there is the odd album that I will just, plain fall out of love with -- Ozzy Osbourne - Bark At the Moon being a perfect example.But that was 30 years ago. Big difference between tastes at age 13 and 43. (I do still love listening to the occasional tune from that record, though.) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mr. Heartbreak Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 Either because you're sick of em or just don't like them anymore. For me: Sgt. PepperWorking Man's DeadAmerican Beauty This makes me sad. For myself, I burned out on The Doors big time in high school, and rarely listen to them now. Just an occasional track, and a lot of those are from live shows that remain unreleased (to the best of my admittedly limited knowledge). I also have been a huge Floyd fanatic since about age 15, and have most everything they ever recorded, including a goodly dosage of live shows. I rarely listen to an entire Floyd album in one sitting anymore but I enjoy the occasional track or the occasional (newly downloaded) live show. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
John Smith Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 None I listen and rotate. I might not hear an album for a year or two but eventually I come back to them Quote Link to post Share on other sites
calvino Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 None I listen and rotate. I might not hear an album for a year or two but eventually I come back to them I do the same. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Inside of Outside Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 There are not many I can't listen to, but a whole bunch I don't choose to listen to. Led Zeppelin II and IV, all of The Doors catalog (from the tiny sample on this board, it looks like that is a band that people burn out on), most of Dire Straits' Brothers in Arms (except the title track), and a few Eric Clapton records - those probably fall under the can't listen to.

Sir Stewart Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 The Wall Seconded. I loved that one in high school. Now it mostly sounds ridiculous. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
choo-choo-charlie Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Zep II and IV are tough to make it through, though on occasion I still love hearing "The Battle of Evermore" or "Four Sticks." Conversely, I can still listen to I and III. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Atticus Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Seconded. I loved that one in high school. Now it mostly sounds ridiculous. I have some friends in this cult I belong to who get together and play guitars and sing at some of our functions. They have entirely ruined The Wall for me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

PopTodd Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 And I listened to "The Boys Are Back In Town" so often that I ruined that one for myself, too. But I never really heard the entire Jailbreak album back then.Thankfully, becoming familiar with the entire record as an adult and hearing it in context has let me enjoy it all over again. So glad, because I fucking LOVE Thin Lizzy. Same thing with "Bohemian Rhapsody" and A Night At the Opera. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Now it mostly sounds ridiculous. dont let roger hear you say that, but i agree with you! with zep, i cant go through III (the acoustic side is great apart from hats off to roy harper) the whole way through. also houses of the holy. both filled with excellent tracks and some throwaways Quote Link to post Share on other sites

So glad, because I fucking LOVE Thin Lizzy. Same thing with "Bohemian Rhapsody" and A Night At the Opera.I'm sure you heard Wilco's rendition of "The Boys are Back in Town" from last year's Solid Sound, right? I think they did a great version of that, and it was the perfect opener to that show. OK, back to your regularly scheduled topic. . . . I actually can't think of anything I would hate listening to, although I sort of hate myself for NOT hating A1A by Jimmy Buffet and American Idiot and the soundtrack from Priscilla, Queen of the Desert. I don't consciously choose to listen to these albums much, but when a song pops up on shuffle I like it and might listen to a few from those albums. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
