Default Music you have overplayed, resulting in burnout?

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

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

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.

Off the top of my head I wouldn't label anything I have as, "overplayed".

I seem to be mostly immune to this phenomenon, because I'm an intense perfectionist and I only want to listen to the best possible music at all times. It's why I have I have 37,000 scrobbles on last fm, but I've only played 475 different artists.

I have noticed overtime that some of my most loved songs are noticeably less enjoyable, which has spurred me to avoid playing many of them whenever possible.

Actually, there's nothing in this category for me. I realized as a really young kid that anything I heard too often would drive me crazy, so I made it a point to not listen to anything too often. I don't oversaturate the same albums, the same artists or even the same genres.

That has even affected my career choices as a musician . It's why I've taken a journeyman/gun-for-hire, studio musician, etc. approach where I've worked in a bunch of different genres.

I don't think that has ever happened to me. I mean, Metallica (for example) don't really get in contact with the stereo much anymore, but I think that has more to do with growing out of them. Finding new things too. There's more interesting metal out there, simply.

I have had a hook caught in my head to such a degree that it started bothering me, though - which is kind of a related issue to the burning out on an album idea.
