you limit yourself on how often you listen to it, because you fear that you may overplay it and it will lose its appeal, or wont be as fantastic, or maybe you may become bored with it. But you like it so much, that you are worried this may happen, so you hold off on it. i can only think of a few albums at the moment, and here they are Grobbschnitt - Rockpommel's Land Yes - Relayer (Gates of Delirium is my favorite song, and i plan on keeping it fresh) Camel - The Snowgoose, i have only recently started holding off, I have probably played this cd the most out of all my albums
oh, and why not, hows about albums that you thought were incredible but you played them so often that you lost interest. I have a few of those, like Strawbs - Grave New World Blind Guardian - Nightfall in Middle Eart ELP - most of their albums i'll add more later Aaron

. Same for me for those 2 albums. Do you know Solar music live from Grobschnitt? Quite different from Rock Pommel's land (more floydian and spacy) but also outstanding. |

The Wall has always been my all-time favourite album but I have overplayed it so much along my lifetime that nowadays I play it less than once a year.

Fragile has been overplayed in my household since early 1972. A Passion Play comes in a close second only because it came out a year or so later.

Well, this is pretty familiar! The last couple of weeks I have this with my Opeth cd's. Just when I thought: ok, enough's enough, let's cut down on the opeth, a good friend of mine discovered them, and is constantly playing their music. Which on the other hand is a good thing, as I'll be seeing them live in about 2 months, and ofcourse I want to know every song the could play that evening |

yeah, i love Solar Music Live, but that album is different, i can listen to it over and over again, which is sort of the spirit of Solar Music and what makes it so great Aaron |

Script for a Jester's Tear by MARILLION.Yeah,it's my favouritest album EVER,but I listen to it very seldom - I'm afraid it can lose its magic with frequent listenings!!! Edited by Prog-jester |

'Close to the Edge' by Yes, 'Animals' by Pink Floyd, 'Foxtrot' by Genesis and ELP's first album all have that appeal for me. I can no longer listen to 'Dark Side of the Moon' or 'The Wall' or anything by Led Zeppelin or the Beatles since I played those bands to death when I was growing up. Edited by man@arms |

Currently for me it's the live version of The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway from Archives I. I'm trying my best not to listen to it once a week but I keep reaching for it all the time even though I got it in January. It's so good it's like I've never heard it before.

I`ll never tire of listening to anything by Gentle Giant. The only
thing that worries me is that everything they ever recorded might
eventually be released. I just bought Scraping the Barrel about two
weeks back and still haven`t made it through all 12 hours of it.

I find that despite the fact that my music collection is expanding at a ridiculous rate I still go back to several albums on a regular basis, but I also don't listen to several albums that I really enjoy because I'm buying so many albums.
To be honest I don't know what to do; stop buying as many albums (I've bought 7 since Saturday) or to spend even more time listening to music. Its a major dilema. |

A lot of Gov't Mule stuff, 'cause I have numerous live versions of songs I love and I don't want to overplay it all.
Most of my Van der Graaf Generator and Peter Hammill collection, I don't ever want them to their appeal, I'd be devastated! In some ways, I'm very glad Gov't Mule have released a lot of double albums and long live recordings, it means I don't tend to play them all that often, which is cool! I'm listening to a 4CD concert of theirs as I type this though, eep! That's 4:07:24 worth of music! I also don't want to overplay Comus or White Willow - Storm Season. I have Taal - Skymind in the car and I really think I should remove it, the same with Starless and Bible Black by KC, I play either of those all the time. Pawn Hearts is in the car as well, but I always make sure I never play it. |

No dilema. Keep buying. I have so many ( I`ve been collecting them
since around`72 ) I don`t even know what might be lurking in my
collection. It`s always nice to find something I haven`t heard in years.
