Music you have overplayed, resulting in burnout?

Shadou Dan · 08-07-2016, 06:40 PM

A topic that came to mind earlier when I was commenting on another thread. I'm sure we all have something that we just can't bring ourselves to listen to voluntarily, due to overplay.

Could be an album you spent a whole summer playing on repeat, or even an artist's discography you became obsessed with at one point, and enjoyed it to death.

My burnout list includes both. When I was a tween, I became obsessed with Metallica, and AC/DC and played most of their albums to death over a 2 year period. I have also had other periods of my life in which I over played an artist, song or album.

Examples of which include;

*Most albums by Metallica.
*Most albums by AC/DC (especially Back in Black, and Stuff Upper Lip.
*Stunt by Barenaked Ladies.
*Throwing Copper by Live.
*Every Pearl Jam album.
*Four by Blues Traveler.
*Clayman by In Flames.
*Out of Time by R.E.M.
*Mechanical Animals by Marilyn Manson.
*Every Korn album.

That's pretty much it off the top of my head. I've been able to gradually come back and listen to some of those as I've gotten older, and I don't quite have that kind of experience with music I listen to now.

I'm interested to know what the fine people of MB have experienced in terms of music burnout, and how it got to that point.

Also, I've been using Spotify to check out a lot of the music being discussed here, and have discovered that I like some of it, lol.

Anyway...

A Moon Shaped Pool. It's my album of the year but I'd be happy if I didn't listen to it for about a month.

I still haven't listened to that one yet, I've heard nothing but good things though. Maybe I'll find some time this week, or go to work and make my residents listen to it, lol

It's pretty good. I'd also throw pg.lost's Key in my list as well. I listened to that for years after it's release, and nowadays I hardly listen to it. Though it's still in my top 10 albums, for sure.

All Seether albums that aren't Disclaimer 2. All great albums, but I over listen to them all.

The Beatles.
Listened to them a lot as a kid and just can't anymore.

Beetles aren't that great. Don't get the obsession with them.

They were incredibly popular at the time and solidified a sizeable group of people who will firmly believe that no other group except for The Beatles ever existed and that they invented everything about modern music. Oh, and they had cute haircuts.
