I am asking this questiBon because I have more than 200 GB of music in my hard drive and instead of listening the unknown stuff ( like antologies of Magma and 14 GB of pure kosmische muzik) I keep on listening to my regular bands like ELP.

The thing is that I wonder how many great stuff I am missing? Listening to " Brain Salad Surgery" for the 23354678 th time won't make any difference to me. Besides it takes several listens to see how the new music grows on you.

Though i definitely listen my favorite bands on a regular basis (at least once a month, cuz i have a lot of fav bands), i usually listen to things that are unknown more frequently (its like, 60-50% of everything i listen is in my non-fav list and 40-50 is in my fav list). For example, today i listened 3 hours of my favorite bands and 5 hours of non-favorite bands, though i like everything i listen. However, there are stuff i just rarely listen. For example, my SBB albums are getting a bit dusty, maybe i should put them eventually, but i'm just not in the mood for SBB recently (i usually listen stuff depending on my mood).

I love cheesecake. Always have, always will. However, I you have other delicious dainties you would like to share, I'll try those too... and marmalade, I've always loved marmalade........

I always make prog overdoses since I always want more!

I am constantly on the prowl for something new to add to my collection.   I deal with the overdose by drinking more coffee.  This helps me stay up until the wee hours of the night/morning  listening to tunes.  Hi, my name is Darklord, and I am a Progoholic. 

I am always looking for more avant-garde, semi-rock ensembles which use non-standard rock instruments, with female singers who have either cute or vicious tendencies! ;P

I'm always looking for more. If i didn't do that initially, i wouldn't have come across my favourite bands or even prog in the first place.

That's a pretty good way of putting it.  Total double-edged sword syndrome.

Staying with your fav bands or looking for more?

As Mr. Fripp would say, are these my only two options??

I stay with my fav band that it's God is An Astronaut! That band take out to the stores the new CD that is "God is an Astronaut from God is An Astronaut. Is very good CD!
