I would like my favorite Prog songs / albums to always change from old
ones that I get tired of to new ones that I'm not tired of, but are even
better than the old ones that I'm tired of. Unfortunately this is not
possible. If I were 15 years old right now I'd probably be just as
exited about Major Parkinson's Twilight Cinema as I was about Jethro
Tull's Thick as a Brick when I was 15. But I'm 54. I will never be that
excited again about anything.
The reality is I heard the
aforementioned Major Parkinson album and was immediately smitten, and
enjoyed it thoroughly for about 8 listens and now I'm done.
The
only solution to this problem I have come up with is to make my own
music, which I like better than anyone else's. Works great!

Some one said 42 and that might be correct............
seriously I get what he's driving at and my favorite albums and groups will never change but I constantly add new ones to the list.

Are you perhaps talking about new versions or re-interpretations of earlier fave classics? |
No. I'm talking about your list of favorite albums, do you want it to change a lot, or do you want it to stay the same.

My list of favorite albums (say top 10) change whether I want it to or not. Sometimes I tire of an album that I've liked in the past. And sometimes an album just sounds better on that day because of how I feel. In an overall sense, my list of favorite albums is ever growing.
From an economic standpoint, I suppose I would prefer just to have a set of favorite albums and be happy with them so I don't spend $$.

My favorites have remained favorites fora a long time, i.e. I haven't fallen out of love with them, but I do occasionally add a new one to the list if it's particularly strong. I guess it depends how many you count as your favorites. There is only one post 1989 album in my top 10 but there's about 20 in my top 50. Three or four of those are from the last 5 years.

Hi,
I just have this funny idea that if you are worrying about it being the same, or different, that you are not listening to music, and then I want to ask ... what's the point?
Go to a dance club or something where the pounding bass sound is the same!

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

If it's always the same, it would be hard to participate in PA discussions because you would not have heard many albums.
