I know what you mean...I think that a bit about Close to the Edge...I don't play it that often but when I do, it gets blsted 5 or 6 times in a row! One non-prog track I did tire of through over playing was "Stairway to Heaven" - it's lost its appeal for me now.

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.

I know what you mean but I can't think of any. I do have a lot which I know so intimately that I seldom play them.

 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

This happened to me a couple of years ago with Mostly Autumn's Passengers - I played it over and over virtually to the exclusion of all else for months, but then the fire went out and now I wonder what I saw in 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
