Over-Listened to Gems(?)

Is there any particular prog you like that you may have spun on the turntable or in the CD deck a little too often to the extent that it lost some of its luster and prominence in the grand scheme of things? For example, I used to really dig Sensations' Fix's Boxes Paradise but had it on constant rotation in the vehicle's stereo system after a friend gave me a copy of its CD remaster some time back. Played it to death, unfortunately. It seemed much more special when I used to give a scratchy vinyl version of it on cassette the occasional listen. Also, I downloaded most of Crimso's Great Deceiver box set onto my MP3 player once and got saturated with it to the point that I now only get out live KC during the most infrequent of moments (still partial to U.S.A. though).

Just about any live release from Yes, even if it is new and/or with a new line-up.  It is all the same tunes I have heard for decades, even some I heard regularly on the radio in the 70s.  I think I lived in a good market at the time because it was more than just Roundabout.  And You and I, Perpetual Change, Your Move/All Good People, Yours Is No Disgrace, Starship Trooper, were all sent over the airwaves when I was a teenager.  And I love all these songs!  It is just that I have heard them too many times.

Most classic Pink Floyd and Supertramp albums: I used to play those a lot before I found this site. Now that I know much more prog artists, I barely play those. I hope I can appreciate Animals again someday

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.

Definitely DSOTM. I was overexposed to it when I was a teenager, and now I find it somewhat boring and (shall I say it?) overrated.

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.

Dark Side Of The Moon but I still feel it's the closest album to perfection i've ever heard.

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... 

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.
