Dark Side of the Moon. I think I've heard it over 50 times in just one summer. That's not right, man.

Never mind I just realized what this was about. Definitely "Song for America". I can barely even listen to that song now.

I think people really missed out with "The Pilgrimage" from the original Kansas album. Actually, now that I think about it, every song on the original Kansas album! That is my favorite Kansas album by far.

My preferences changes all the time, partly due to overlistning, partly due to changing focus and moods.

Everyone's got their faves--but isn't the very term PROGRESSIVE rock maen that you'll move on? If not--how can you justify being here?

It hasn't really happened to me, I guess because I listen to a lot of music of different genres, like jazz, classical, world, blues, etc. So when I listen to a great album, I tend to give it two spins at the most, and change to something else, so I don't really get tired of it, or play it to death as many people say, and come back to it if I want to, after playing three of four other albums.

That's how it feels with my favorite metal bands like Judas Priest and Metallica. DT and Rush were the first prog bands I got into (though I had heard Yes as a kid), and I also don't feel like playing them as much. I still jam Court and CTTE regularly :)

Thick as a Brick was the first I thought of and A Passion Play second. It feels like I'm never gonna spin those two again. I still love their early quartet of albums + EP (68-71) although I've known these for just as long. It seems I'll never tire of other early discoveries such as In the Court, Nursery Cryme, Duck Stab/Buster & Glen, Trance Europa Express...
I'm trying to think of others but mostly its just that the magic has worn off, I've outgrown or found better stuff. That goes for albums I used to listen to obsessively like Disco Volante, California by Mr. Bungle and Dead Can Dance Aion + Into the Labyrinth.

It doesn't happen to me if the album is really a gem. I've never got tired of Meddle or of CTTE. Only I still prefer listening to my old scratched vinyls than to clean and "colder" CD versions

Dark Side Of The Moon but I still feel it's the closest album to perfection i've ever heard. Because of this i've been very careful not to overplay anything I own.

played alot of YES constantly, especially To Be Over for a time, but maybe some time in the future it will come back to me officially.

Non-topographic Yes albums have less spark than they used to for me. Topographic for some reason bucks the trend and sounds more amazing than ever, it was their masterpiece imo, not CTTE.
I've lost nothing for the 67-75 Floyd though, I think they hold up pretty well actually.

Funny, I don't really have any prog that qualifies in that way, but heavy rock for sure. Like Blue Cheer's first two albums, I over listened to them. And the first few albums by the Sabbs, for sure, as well. These records got in my head too much.

There are some that I put away for a while and then end up enjoying again after a break. I do find I don't listen to The Beatles that often and they are my all time favorite. There used to be a certain amount of guilt associated until I heard Mattias Olsson talking about it. He said he doesn't need to listen to The Beatles anymore because all that music is in his head.

OK Computer lost its magic for awhile. Then I got better headphones and voila.
Also Wish You Were Here, but I think it's the same case as OK Computer.

"the Musical Box" has lost its magic for me. I listened to it soooo many times. It'll be a few years before I can hear it again.
