Music you listened to too much and is now overkill forever

You know...perhaps you were so happy to get that album or song you put it on repeat and now you never want to hear it again.

The aural equivalent of eating far too many sweeties or drinking too many beers and swearing to never do it again.

Do you have any artists/albums you were irresponsible with/were forced to endure until hatred set in?

I'm still unable to listen to Metallica because my older brother would play the albums on repeat, sometimes the same song for hours at a time. I still like the music and would say they're a special band but...hearing the Enter Sandman riff triggers bad memories.

*hides under bed*

Arovane - Tides, burnt it out in high school w/ girlfriend, especially Eleventh!

The Beatles. Most if not all of their albums. However, I fortunately neglected to listen to most of George Harrison's solo stuff so I think I'm going to dive into that.

i accidentally overplayed "Find Candace" by Venetian Snares. actually it wasn't by accident i was fuckin obsessed with that ep, but i blew it...

Weirdly enough, Tomorrow's Harvest

I recently od'ed on ae. I dont know what to do with myself

it never happens to me. for some reason i'm unresponsive to habituation. also maybe the music i'm listening to is just too awesome.

Kompakt and microhouse in general (I'll return in a few years surely)

Underground hip-hop and turntablism (Ninja Tune, Mo'Wax specifically)

Quasimoto CD I had in my car

I gave RDJ material a break for awhile after 2007/2008

Had to give Chemical Brothers, Daft Punk (old), Basement Jaxx, and Fatboy Slim a break for years. Was cool revisiting them once I knew more about equipment and sampling and production methods.

Mid-00s IDM

Mid-00s bloghouse

these are things I might revisit...maybe

Ah I have one: I can't listen to Rage Against The Machine the same way anymore, listened to them a lot in high school and early college. I loved those albums but I've retired them along with my angsty teenage self. That's about the only band I'll never get into again.

There's a lot of genres I naively tried getting to because people told me they were good or I thought they were cool. Mostly indie rock bands that people liked in 2004/2005 (example I bought the Modest Mouse album Good News for People Who Love Bad News). I was quite uniformed musically back then.

TNGHT ep. By the time it came in the mail I was sick of it

Venetian Snares, breakcore in general. Listened to nothing but Vsnares for like 3 months in 2012. It's OK now

Cfern doe

pretty much most pink floyd i cant really listen to because i listened too much. plus after getting into stuff like aphex, the floyd just seems too slow and boring by comparison. i still think its musically good but thats a place i dont think i'll ever feel like going back to much. their earlier more psychedelic stuff i didn't overexpose myself to and sometimes i can enjoy that kind of stuff

radiohead post the ends is imo like a modern day floyd and has that same pitfall attached. great sound design, all the right notes, but its slow and plodding compared to SP/afx/ae/etc, and too predictable in terms of being more repetitive. its easy for that shit to wear thin and not do anything for you anymore

oh i forgot to mention nin. DS and the fragile i played the fuck out of. this also has the added bonus of reznors voice, which at first seems cool (as a teen), but eventually it becomes this whiney bitch fuck shit of a thing thats like, jesus fucking kill yourself or shut up about wanting to. you cant play that card over and over even into your 40s. oh i guess you can. and to be honest, i feel the same way about yorkes whiney bitch ass voice. both may be skilled vocalists and/or have crafted a style, but i think part of that style is narcissism being on full display and its just gross as fuck to me as an adult.

*radiohead post-'the bends'

A lot of r&b/urban type music. I just can't listen to it anymore...so weird.

I rinsed the living hell out of 'An Ending (Ascent)' in the late '90s/early 2000s when I was first getting into electronic music. This and the fact that it has been more recently appropriated by the advertising industry on more than one platitudinous occasion has changed the music for me, to the point where I sometimes skip it when listening to 'Apollo'.

I still have a tremendous respect for the track; it is fucking gorgeous and I'd love to know what Eno had to do to coax that incredible vocal-like sound out of his equipment.

It was a watershed moment for me when I first heard it and I overplayed because of how great it is. I'm wary to do that again these days when I discover something new that I feel a similar level of regard for.

NIN - Year Zero, Ratatat - LP3, Pink Floyd - Dark Side Of The Moon, Aphex Twin - Drukqs, Depeche Mode - Sounds Of The Universe

Just loved them all replayed until nothing surprises me anymore, waiting many years until I listen to any of them again.

Oh, and Plaid's Scintilli. Came dangerously close to burning that one forever but I stopped myself for a few months and now it's fine, altough I definitely ration out how many times I listen to it.

I generally have a rule not to listen to anything more than once a day. This rule was broken recently to listen to Cylob's Rewind and Plaid's Nafovanny, but can you blame me?

as anything else by ae imo

Mr. Jones and me tell each other fairy tales
Stare at the beautiful women
"She's looking at you. Ah, no, no, she's looking at me."

also

"Said one, two princes kneel before you
That what I said now
Princes, princes who adore you
Just go ahead now"

So many parallels here, spirit guide jtx seems to have all the bases covered for me.

I went a bit crazy on MF DOOM's catalogue over the years - Operation Doomsday, MM FOOD, King Geedorah, (the underrated) Viktor Vaughn... all were positively hammered, definitely had to take a break from them for a while (I still maintain MM FOOD was his finest hour).

Geogaddi :(

Listened to it for months every day in school and during workout and now I can't stand it anymore.
Pity cos it's probably BoC's best album.

Thanks to Florence and the Machine I can no longer stand "you've got the love" by Candi Staton. Well it was the radio who kept playing it who ruined it technically but... Yeah, that. Oh and The Smiths song "how soon is now" was ruined for me by the TV show Charmed. THANKS!!!

House MD ruined that one Massive Attack song (Teardrop?)

Mostly albums that I listened to in high school and college that I used to listen to nearly every day:

Wu-Tang Clan - Wu-Tang Forever: I played this album daily and it is my favorite one of theirs, but I guess I got tired of it and rarely play it now.

Squarepusher - Big Loada: I couldn't get enough of this record, but at some point, it stopped sounding as fresh as it once did, and now I don't get the same thrill from it.

Interpol - Turn on the Bright Lights: An album I listened to in college at a time when I was incredibly depressed and in love with a girl who couldn't love me. When I listen to it now, it doesn't feel the same and I just have a few bad feelings about it despite it being one of my all-time favorites.

There are more, but I can't seem to think of them right now. I guess I could say I burned myself out on indie rock or whatever you want to call it. I spent a good 10 years or so (2003 - 2013) listening to a lot of indie, but now I'm back in IDM/braindance mode. Not much indie rock interests me right now.

I heard this tune like 130 times in tandem, i couldnt really listen to it afterwards
