TheGreek Posted November 21, 2023 Share Posted November 21, 2023 Changed the CD in the car earlier - reached into the pile and pulled out Jimi Hendrix greatest hits. It felt like I'd heard every track a million times- forced myself to listen to it even though it was punishing. Next time I'm in the car I'll be swapping it out. Similar experience?? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

el borracho Posted November 21, 2023 Share Posted November 21, 2023 Queen - I actually used to quite like them & bought 2 or 3 albums in the 70s but.... i've just heard enough. I can't seem put the radio on without hearing them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

40hz Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 (edited) Anything 'aggy'. I still absolutely adore bands like Rage Against The Machine, System of A Down, Soundgarden, older era Incubus, etc - it's all I listened to up until my mid 20's, but I can't listen to it anymore. It makes me too anxious and edgy. I still love the bands and the songs themselves, it's just never on the playlist these days at 37 years old. The older I've got, the more electronic music speaks to me - give me a nice Ambient Chillwave instead!

neepheid Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 I've got a different problem - being stuck in a rut of listening to the same stuff I've always listened to. So it's not that I can't listen to stuff I used to like anymore, it's that I can't stop listening to stuff I used to like (and continue to do so) at the expense of new stuff. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it's not that I can't listen to stuff I used to like anymore, it's that I can't stop listening to stuff I used to like (and continue to do so) at the expense of new stuff. I hear you ( musical term meaning I understand 😬) ... In a slight comparison , I find it hard to see anything that grabs me as much as things did in the '80s and '90s especially . I tried to listen to planet Rock for example in lockdown , and in all honesty there were a couple of what I call newer bands ( massive wagons and I forgot the others ) , but there was nothing there . ( except for constant repeated commercials and music as old as JR Harley ) I tried , then switched off and can't see me going back . I will look into Haestorm more though , as they have rreal talent and looked good on a clip I saw on Download on TV. I got back into sparks and think the Hippopotamus album is one of the best albums I purchased in years. Although ltd in talent , I purchased the Celtic Frost box set , and love it . Same with both Tangerine Dream box sets of late. As for Hawkwind and seeing them multiple times , I can only really listen to Levitation now . Love Rush, and snakes and ladders and Exit stage left are the only ones I don't bother with so much. I mentioned Roses above , but I only have the Lies EP ..and I don't play it . Got bored of them very quickly . As for RATM mentioned above , I purchased the 1st album , and downloaded the rest . Apologies in advance , but they sound very samey and whiney. Not a band for party classics . can't tolerate them now . Soundgarden I don't bother with anymore . When they played Hyde park with sabbath, they played the whole of 5he superunknown album and the last couple of songs were really depressing . Not exactly bad motorfinger . I don't bother much with them now.. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thodrik Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 Red Hot Chili Peppers. As a teenager I loved them until they released By The Way which didn't really impress me. I kinda liked parts of Stadium Arcadium but then I saw them live and it was one of the most plodding, uninspired, phoned in gigs I have ever been to. Haven't listened to them since. Also, not so much an 'artist', but any modern 'follow the guitarist' pentatonic blues music generally gets turned off unless the artist is something special (like Kingfish Ingram). I grew up with SRV, Clapton, Buddy Guy etc and I have heard most of the licks, song formats and lyrical subject matter too many times. I actually prefer listening to singer/songwriter country music instead. I used to really love post hardcore music like Glassjaw, Alexisonfire, Dillinger Escape Plan and Every Time I Die in my teens and early twenties, but as I enter my late 30s I tend to consider that type of music as 'young people music'. I am more likely to listen to stoner/doom metal or thrash instead for my 'heavy' music fix. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahpook Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 I used to love The Cure. Apart from one album* and a handful of other songs, I just can’t listen to it anymore. Perfect for teenaged moping, I suppose, but these days it just sounds like teenaged moping *The Top, btw. It's a psychedelic jewel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bartelby Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 The Who and Pink Floyd are just too tedious, for me, to listen to these days. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asingardenof Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 I have a tendency to come across an artist, binge their stuff, then one day just stop listening to it because I've overindulged. Eventually I'll rediscover them and think "huh, I used to listen to this a lot, maybe I should give it a whirl again". Sometimes that reignites a love for the artist, other times I'd be happy to never hear it again. There aren't many artists in the latter category, thankfully! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having never owned any music recorded by 'Rolfy boy' the thread title does not apply. But if you are happy to separate a person's actions from their creative output keep on listening to him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bassman7755 Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 (edited) There isnt much I grew up on that I dont like anymore. If anything listening to old classics often reveals riches I didnt appreciate at the time e.g. Micheal Anthony's bass playing on early van halen albums, or the bluesyness of Angus Youngs playing to name some random ones.

Skybone Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 I recently went through a bunch of old CD's that I'd not listened to in years in order to get some "new" music in the car, but I quickly discovered I stopped listening to them for a reason. Likewise, I get recommendations for new stuff quite often, but very, very little of that piques my interest. It's getting a tad frustrating.

SteveXFR Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 Sex Pistols and The Who just bore me now. I used to listen to GNR, Kiss and Motley Crue in the 80s but haven't been able to listen to any of them since discovering various types of alt rock & metal in the early 90s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
