How often do you get "burnt out" on music?

I really do feel somewhat burnt out on  prog. There's been a  noticeable shift in my listening patterns from prog to indie that has been gradually going on in the past few months or so. I guess it's overexposure coupled with a lot of innovation and discovery within the indie genre.

I had a project, listening to this Finnish teen-girl-energy-pop/rock band for a month, 75 songs a day. My last.fm tells it all if you want to check, www.last.fm/user/Tuomu Anyway, recently I'm really grown to dislike them, I removed them from my playlist adn all. Oh well.

Yes, or most of all Jon Anderson has had the same effect on me, too much of his voice would make my head ache. Now I'm waiting for the interest to return again. Meanwhile I listen to something else :)

I don't listen that much to Genesis, Kansas or IQ anymore, but I used to listen to those bands a lot.

Never burned out on music.  In fact, I don't get to listen to it enough I think!.  I mean I listen to it a lot, but I would prefer more MORE MORE!
