what bands have you burnt out on?
 

i just realized that i haven't listened to led zeppelin since i was in 11th grade! so i tried listening to it today and it was really annoying. i know it's good music but i just can't bring myself to listen to it anymore. i think it's because zeppelin was all i listened to in 11th grade and when i put it on now it brings back memories of that time. but plant's voice is pretty annoying too. also nirvana i can't listen to it or look at kurt anymore without wanting to throw up or cry or frown. I think those are the only two bands that i absolutely can't listen too, but there are others but not as bad as these two. what are yours?

Tell that to your avatar, thing might put you or someone in a seizure.

Yeah, I played the living hell out of Zeppelin all through 8th grade. At the time, they were one of the few bands I listened to, and consequently probably my favorite (along with T. Rex). But yeah, I suppose the reason I've burnt out on them, so to speak, is because of how often I played them, but probably more importantly because I had barely listened to any other music at the time, so I had no basis for comparison. I didn't know what my tastes were, exactly. That's not to say I don't like the band--I have all but one of their albums, and I would never consider getting rid of those that I do have--but they just aren't as exciting now as they were when I was 13. Still, I have no idea what I would be listening to today if it hadn't been for "Dazed and Confused." That song changed my life. Along with Zeppelin and T. Rex, I listened to a lot of Bowie and Hendrix. So you can see already how I could have either gone down the path of Zeppelin and Hendrix representing some of the roots of heavy metal, or gone the glam rock way which eventually leads to punk rock. The next pivotal moment in my sequence of musical discoveries was my purchase of the New York Dolls' first album, followed soon by The Stooges' Fun House. It could have gone either way--I mean, I could just as easily be on some other board right now talking about how Black Sabbath distracted me from pursuing an interest in glam rock and punk. But that's not how it worked out. Anyway, I guess what I'm trying to say is that Led Zeppelin rules.

Zeppelin for life!!!:D

I do still have a Stairway to Heaven flag in my room. So yeah, maybe I'm not so much burnt out on them as I am in denial of how attached to the band I really am. Excuse me while I go put on Houses of the Holy and weep.

Ha ha....good call.

I really dug Dismemberment Plan for a while. Saw them open for someone and they were amazing live and I got Emergency & I and loved it so much...but now I lost all interest in them.

Okay, I'll confess. I burned out pretty badly on Sonic Youth around the time of Dirty and EJSTNS. Dirty was a disappointment musically, too grunge-like and insufficiently different to what was going on at the time, and EJSTNS was just downright annoying and too riot grrl influenced.

sometimes i get this with .... and i do apologise for any backlash
Nirvana.

i've been listening to the for at least 15 years, and sometimes i just need a break

And considering how they're not gonna come up with any new output for a while...

i'm kinda burnt out on SY at the moment.

I felt a bit the same around the time Sonic Nurse came out.But i will always have faith in them.

the cure..
cannot listen to "kiss me" album anymore..
get flashbacks of depression and paranoia..

it is called a "self-induced psychosis"...

Radiohead...
for obvious reasons.
Last good album was Kid A

I guess, The Pixies and Isolee. Currently, that is.

Likewise. I'll have a week every now and then where I listen to them... I just don't feel compelled to listen to them always.

It'll be sad day if I ever burn out on the Fall though.

back in the day i was loving nine inch nails and pearl jam. i cant stand pearl jam anymore, but i do sometimes give in to my urges and whack on 'the day the whole world went away'. its a guilty peasure.

I burned out on Wilco. Looking back I find it hard to believe I actually listened to them with so much frequency.

the doors-went through a huge phase of listening to them a couple of years ago but hardly ever do now. also nirvana

i have burnt out on all bands.

being hippie is bad.

pixies, nirvana

A lot of peoples are pretty much the same.
Mine along with a few people are
Nirvana
Pixies
Mudhoney (even though I do still love them)
Pantera were one but i'm getting back into them. Listening to far beyond driven 'tis awfully good.

I could never get burnt out on Zeppelin.
I'm nearly burnt out on Shellac.
Others: Ween, Modest Mouse, Don Caballero

I'm burnt out on qotsa and interpol...
Saturnine are you kidding i'm listening to dino jr alot lately :D

i hear ya :o especially in my car I have only radio workin frekin oldies stations and modern emo screamo crapo ..I swear at times it sux to the point listening to traffic is a pleasant better

Oh Zeppelin too.

I'm getting back into Queen after burning them out a while ago though.

Sonic Youth.

I haven't listened to them in a long, long time.

zeppelin.

Nirvana, Pixies, and Nation of Ulysses 13 point program to destroy america, plays pretty for baby is still cool though.

With Sonic Youth, I think I overplayed them. And after seeing them live twice, I just can't get excited about it again, so I probably won't be seeing them this summer. But you know, when I saw them those two times, both times I felt compelled to do so not just out of excitement but also because, let's face it, they are getting a tad old. The fact that they have families and kids and whatnot only made me more paranoid over the possibility that any tour they go on now could be their last. I know that's lame and it sounds like I'm talking about the Rolling Stones or something, but I wouldn't have that feeling if they were still young. Anyway, after I see a band live, I have a tendency to stop listening to them so frequently. I don't know why though, it just happens that way.

But you know, last year I thought I had finally burnt out on David Bowie and didn't listen to him for the remainder of that year, which is a big deal to me. By the time the year was up, I was back to wanting to listen to him.

sometimes i have too much to listen to. like i buy or download or am given so much music i just cant listen to it all thoroughly and enjoy it which generally sucks so i just find myself listening to less and less.

Woah. Laila this is really wierd. I was burnt out on Led Zeppelin, and guess what I have been listening to today?


I'm burnt out on the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, and VU.

I'm burnt out on nirvana and interpol. I don't ever want to listen to them again right now.

yeah i know. i put that there cause i was trying to see if it would be annoying, but i don't really look at my avatar so it wasn't as bad as i thought it would be.

Hippie, peace punk....blah blah, I've heard it all. I'm just a dude.

yeah:D

I've never liked Led Zeppelin. Nirvana only for a very short time. Though I think the Nirvana Unplugged album is excellent.

I've burnt out on the entire hardcore/metal genres.

oh yes the unplugged album is a good one! but it has sort of a depressing tone to it, but i think that's what he was going for.

zeppelins amazign

kiss
i used to like them and i dont know why but now i hate them.
