One of the advantages of having a large music collection is that there is always something to listen to without having to overplay anything. I try hard not to overplay my favorites so as not to kill the magic. Porcupine Tree is one of my favorite groups, same with King Crimson, but I'll sometimes go years without listening to them. Then I'll pull them all out and go on a listening spree and the magic is still there. Neil Young is another that I'll sometimes go 5-6 years without playing, then go on a weeklong Neil Young kick, listening to all his albums from first to last.

This is the way to do it
exactly!!!!!!! my point!!!!Clap

Selling England by the Pound and Tales of Topographical Oceans were two that I loved when they came out (though never liked "The Battle of Epping Forest" and it took me a while to love "Dancing with the Moonlit Knight") but I have to psych myself into listening to today. 

Also, any/all of Peter Gabriel's solo albums after the first one. While I loved them when they came out, I've soured on all of them--'cept that first one. I LOVE the first one.

Also, Wish You Were Here--loved it as a kid, hate it now.

Would you attribute that more to burnout? There are many albums like Dark Side of the Moon which i still love but rarely listen to because i've just heard them way too many times but when i do the magic is still there.

I thought of another one for me and that is Point of Know Return by Kansas(thanks to the Kansas poll for reminding me). It's certainly not a bad album but the last time I listened to it it didn't have that excitement that it used to. I think some albums suffer from the law of diminishing returns more than others and just don't sound as good with repeated listens. I don't think this would happen with leftoverture but I should play it again soon to find out.

Unlike movies with a twist (once seen, the twist is known so a review is pointless)...Classics like TFTO actually mature like a good cheese. When I was young n daft I think that I almost liked Duke even tho I listened to some terrible stuff like Napalm Death, Slayer and Venom...mind you if I wanted summat to annoy my wife...😂

Neurosis were good, but the Steve Albini-produced albums sent me into a downward spiral after a few listens. Can't listen to anything past TSIB now.

The more times I hear Mike Oldfield's Hergest Ridge album, the less I like it, especially when it's compared with the far superior Tubular Bells and Ommadawn. Smile
