*Live recordings* (on both CD and DVD). This usually pulls me out of a rut b/c 1, you can almost pretend you're there, and 2, they're almost always a little different. For example, a guitar solo might be a little longer or the melody is tweaked a but. Sometimes the arrangement of the song is wholly different. The smashing pumpkins were particularly good at that. Also, with live recordings, sometimes they play a cover of song you've never heard before or even gave a sh*t about and then you're like, "Hm, I kinda like that song. Maybe I do like that band."
