Sometimes give them a rest for a little bit. RF listening on Spotify or a CD hit Shuffle mix up the playlist a little bit. But then again sometimes you're certain albums you just don't get burned out on also The Allman Brothers live at Fillmore is a perfect example for me
The old saying from the 1980s--less is more. That being said, sometimes, your tastes change. I used to love the Eagles, especially the Hotel California album. Not so much now. This is due to me becoming a prog rock fan, the Eagles just can't match good prog
I watch a lot of 'Reaction' videos. I may have heard 'More Than a Feeling ' or ''Don't Stop Me Now' plenty, but seeing a 22 yr old chick or 40 something Rapper dude experience some of those great classic songs for the 1st time really brings on that feeling of playing albums for your friends back in the day.
Peter’s comment about just entirely switching genres of music he listens to resonated with me. Being a hard rock and metal guy, I can’t hardly stand to listen to Ozzy’s Boneyard, Hair Nation, and Octane anymore because I’ve heard most of the songs played on those channels to death. So I started listening to such channels as The Bridge which only plays soft rock and mellow music from the 1970’s. It’s opened up a whole other world of listening pleasure for me with many artists I’d never even heard of before! Like all of the guests have commented, I’ve had to step away from some of my personal music collection and/or change the channel of an over heard song comes on. Dokken is my all-time favorite band but I took a self-imposed break from Under Lock & Key and Back for the Attack albums. I just overdid it and because most of these songs weren’t radio hits, I can’t blame the radio stations, I can only blame myself for overplaying these albums! Lol.
I'm similar to Keith in this respect, I stopped listening to the radio for music in the late 90's and early 00's. I was way burned out on classic rock. Especially with Rush, Boston, Van Halen, Pink Floyd and the default for all Chicago classic rock Led Zeppelin. Not only were those same bands on the radio on a daily basis but the same 4 frigging songs. So after stopping listening to the radio I took a break from those bands for 15 to 20 yrs. Then during the pandemic I started listening to those bands again and they were fresh. It's like how I keep Metallica's black album fresh. I won't listen to it for a year or two then listen to it again. I'll listen to their first 4 albums or Death Magnetic or Hard Wired then revist the black album in small doses. Same with AC/DC Back in Black. I won't listen to that album for 1 or 2 or 3 years then pick it up. I miss the "old" days when you had new release Tuesday, Mood elevation hour, New featured artist let alone an actual "metal" station. Now I basically stream on TH-cam music or my old school ipod loaded with tunes I want to hear with no bs comercials and this thing called variety. I'll get off my soapbox. Great show gents.
On the subject of radio discussed by Keith, in the UK we have a great public station (BBC Radio 3) which has actually got better in my lifetime. You can hear lots of great jazz, world, folk and modern classical music without adverts and it's all deep cuts/album tracks, never hits. You actually get a musical education from it. I prefer the States for many things but I am proud of our public radio!
On Spotify i like to make shuffle lists of bands. Whole discographies (without the bad songs) or certain era's of older bands. I find this gives me new perspectives on certain classic or more appreciation of songs that never really got my attention. I love whole albums but you always know whats coming or i pay less attention to later tracks. When i'm shuffling on my earbuds and all of a sudden track 8 from albums X comes in i listen to it with new ears. It'a just different hearing it unexpectedly instead of during the album after tracks 1-7. This keeps overplayed albums or ones that failed to get my full attention a new life.
As some in the panel have said, to keep things sounding fresh, it helps to have varied music interests. I'm mostly a metal/hard rock guy but also listen to, or have in my collection, music from a wide range of genres, 90s Euro pop, old school hip hop, soul, funk, country, blues, world music, new age, etc. So, what I do when I feel there's a sameness to everything I'm listening to, I just change music genres. I have a lot of music saved on my music player, and create playlists; I have one labeled Heavy Music (exactly what is says, heavy metal tracks), another Prog Music, Soft Music (this is really a mix bag that includes pop music, rap, soft rock, etc), I have one for country music, one for classical and so on. If I want to be surprised, I'll just switch to the shuffle function and I wont know what comes next; it could be a couple of Queen tunes, followed by some ABBA, followed by some Metallica, some Eddie Rabbit, or some Aretha Franklin, maybe some Count Basie? The possibilities are endless.
For the last 10 years or so i have been exploring new bands. I have found there is just as good of music now than ever. It is harder to find it than it was then getting it spoon fed through the radio in your town. The folks that only listen to classic rock are missing out.
Don't listen to classic rock fm radio. Nothing will pound the same songs over and over into your head more. Q107 in Toronto burned me out on more classic rock in the 90s and 00s more than anything else. Also don't overplay the same albums and songs over and over. That's my advice.
I started listening to the mighty Q when they first went on the air in 1977 with Murray McLauchlan's Hard Rock Town. They would play deep album cuts then. Basically, I stopped listening to all Radio sometime in the 1990s when Corus ruined radio in Ontario . Told the programmer for Y95 in Hamilton Ontario as such, when he sat beside me at a football game around this time.
In the case of Led Zeppelin IV, I go for any live versions of the tracks recorded between 1973 and 2007. Black Dog (Song Remains) Rock and Roll (Song Remains) Battle of Evermore (Live in Largo 1977) Stairway to Heaven (Earls Court 1975) Misty Mountain Hop (Knebworth 1979) Four Sticks (No Quarter Unledded) Going to California (Earls Court 1975) When the Levee Breaks (US Leg 1975) Paranoid I listen to the Stereo Quad Mix.
In the case of Pink Floyd's The Dark Side of the Moon, it's either live 1972-74 performances or PULSE 1995 I play. Either those or the 1972 Parsons Mix or the 5.1 Mix or Stereo Quad Mix. Wish You Were Here is all live 1977 recordings then Stereo Quad and 5.1 Moving Pictures by Rush it's Exit...Stage Left/Live in YYZ 1981 and Witch Hunt from Grace Under Pressure Tour Eagles - Hotel California (most of the album was played live between 1976 and 1994 except Try and Love Again)
I always burn out on my favorite bands. I was really big into Danzig, kept listening to those first four albums. I finally got tired of them and didn't listen to them for like 5 years. Same thing with Killing Joke. Killing Joke I like even more so I burned out on them for a bit. But with Killing Joke, it was more difficult because they have alot more variation in sound and style. So, it's my fault. Radio definitely burns you out though, I'm sick of Welcome to the Jungle.
For someone like me there is really no excuse for playing a great album to death. I have 4425 CDs right now (more is on the way), many of whom I have not even played yet. Why not give the old favourites a rest for the time being? I am looking forward to giving Painkiller a spin, but in 2030 at the earliest.
Don't bargain with your grief with old played out music and bands, once music is f"cked out, quickly bury it and maybe dig it back up in 10=20 years. Superior recorded live versions is the next course when your favorite song is ruined by overplay
I have always been a deep cuts guy. I like bands no one has heard of. I am a huge Budgie fan. I love Cactus. I love the Godz. Status Quo. Savoy Brown . I am starting to listen to the overplayed classics. Boston, Foreigner, Steve Miller Band. Fly like an Eagle is a 10 outta 10.
Start listening to live bootlegs. You find something new all the time, and you can never get bored of Led Zeppelin no matter what. I listen to Led Zeppelin every day ,year in year out.
@@grumqa I watched this same exact episode 1 month ago with a different title...same exact show...just wondering why it's being rerun with a different title as if it's a new one
Mainstream radio is a joke. Only time I listen to it is when I have to rent a car, and, thankfully, that only happens a couple of times a year at most. XM/Sirius is, may e, not as bad but getting there. They do/did play some deep cuts but it's pretty much the same 3 dozen tracks that have been overplayed to death and at this point they are just plain boring/irritating to listen to. Yuck!!!

How do you keep over played albums fresh?
Sometimes give them a rest for a little bit.
RF listening on Spotify or a CD hit Shuffle mix up the playlist a little bit.
But then again sometimes you're certain albums you just don't get burned out on also
The Allman Brothers live at Fillmore is a perfect example for me
Make them smell good and sound good.

If you truly love an album, you cannot overplay it.
I watch a lot of 'Reaction' videos. I may have heard 'More Than a Feeling ' or ''Don't Stop Me Now' plenty, but seeing a 22 yr old chick or 40 something Rapper dude experience some of those great classic songs for the 1st time really brings on that feeling of playing albums for your friends back in the day.
That is a great point - love it. So true.
I really got into reaction videos during lockdown. Like you said, it was like listening to music with people.
Sorry for me I NEVER tire of anything off the AMAZING Boston debut 😁

I hope I never hear Barracuda again... Great song but my local rock radio has played it daily since it came out.

I guess Peter Jones is my "Don't Stop Believin'" in this video.
thanks? LOL
Interesting The Hooters are mentioned as the songs from “Nervous Nights” aren’t played enough today (unless maybe it’s an 80’s focused station).
In the case of Pink Floyd's The Dark Side of the Moon, it's either live 1972-74 performances or PULSE 1995 I play. Either those or the 1972 Parsons Mix or the 5.1 Mix or Stereo Quad Mix. Wish You Were Here is all live 1977 recordings then Stereo Quad and 5.1

I listen to the most strange kind of music after that, when i come back everything feels fresh
Great topic as always, fellas

Wow same show from one month ago i went back and checked just a different title
Yep! I thought the same thing. Ironically they’re not keeping it fresh by re-running it! 😂
Oh no..😢

I do that a ton! Great option.
I listen to more of the deep tracks when i can. And like they said, stay away from classic rock radio
This show was on a month ago.
I am glad to see my opinions didn't change in such a short time. But you are correct. It was an oversight..but the new comments are very welcome.
Is not this a older show
I think we recorded this a couple of weeks ago. It was a lot of fun, hope to be on panels with everyone here again.
