 Topic: How often do you listen to your favorite albums?
Posted: July 22 2013 at 11:59 |

I only listen to mine, like Nursery Cryme or Snow Goose, once every 3 months or so. I have a deep fear of over listening to albums , which I have done in the past, and not being able to enjoy them anymore. Anyone else have this fear? Do you even think about this?

But I look forward to ending that awful practice of rarely listening to favorites.

When I feel like listening to them? Usually no longer than a week in between listens.

The time varies. Any ballpark answer, I feel, would probably be way off.

My all-time favorites usually get played once every 1-2 months. My current day favorites get played at least once a week, usually more.

Once in a few years, sometimes more often.

Not very often. Grace for Drowning, which is probably my favourite album of all time, I haven't listened to since last year.

I'm able to listen to Frances the Mute by TMV anytime, it just seems like I'm always in the mood, no matter what. That's why I consider it my favorite. Unfortunately I can't say that about the rest of my top 5 albums.

at first i'll probably listen to them a handful of times a week, maybe more, but as time goes by, that usually drops to once every 2-4 months or so

Once or twice a year, give or take.

how is that an awful practice? It just makes the album that much more enjoyable when I do play it.

It's like an old friend ... they never left!
I don't look at music any different!
I don't look at the mirror any different!
I don't look at past music, past life, my past ... as anything else other than a part of me. There is no reason to dislike it or think it is different, just because yesterday you saw blue and today you see yellow ... it also tells you that you were/are not focused enough to get into the real meat of the work, so that you would know what it is about, and generally that holds all your life!

Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

Having so many favorites, I'll say it's about once a year maybe twice. But in some cases it's even longer, I haven't listened to Crimson in a few years now and they might be my all time favorite.

It doesn't for me. I listened to Choirs of the Eye this morning after about 3 months and enjoyed it a lot, but I'm going to listen to it tomorrow and enjoy it even more for sure. I know because it happened that way the last time too.

When I want to. I discover new favorites all the time. I binge listen when I discover a new album, listen to it occasionally afterwards. Sometimes I rediscover an old favorite and binge listen again. There is no discernible pattern, and I make no promises to myself that I will ever listen to a favorite again. That way, each listen could be the least time, and I am forced to get all I can out of it.
