i am sick of hearing stairway to heaven
its not a bad song at all its just over-played the more you hear it being bombarded at you the less you appreciate it
songs like stairway to heaven i only like to listen to every now and again because then it always sounds better.
i have a relationship with the Who album quadrophenia in that way too. i only listen to the entire album four or five times a year - and only on vinyl
i rarely listen to the songs from Quadrophenia by themselves either - unles their live, ill listen to the live versions because theyre different to the original quadrophenia
some people may say that im missing out on it but i know every note from that album as well or even better than from any other album i listen to on a regular basis
