Yep, I do that too.. a throwback to the old radiogram days when all you had to do was leave the arm thingy on the deck to one side and it played .. and played.. and played again.. and .. etc

Not a song, but an album.

I saw Evita in the first week that it opened in London, with the lovely (young) David Essex. So I bought the album. I was working in a shop at the time and I played it over and over and over and used to get really cross when people came in the shop and I had to stop singing.

(Guess you were thinking of something trendier when you asked the question )

The last two songs I've enjoyed, in no particular order, are the Biffa Clyro one, subsequently ruined by that posh gadjie on the tellybox, and the Elbow one which was used tonight on Holby. All in all I agree with Prom.

A question in our pub quiz tonight asked what was the title of the song that the posh gadjie ( ) from XFactor got to number 1.

I got it right

oh you brought back memories and my first records i played to death  was abracadabra  and i do'nt wanna dance  

I do that with this one

I do it ALL the time.....it's the only way to listen to music

I only ever listen to one band at a time....... for a good few months, till I've exhausted their whole catalogue, then I discard them without a second thought, and move on to the next.

I listen to loads of different stuff and it depends on what mood I'm as to what I'll listen to.

I do have to have Stevie Wonder, Aretha Franklin and some House in my ears 3 days a week though.

Heartless. You just don't care about their feelings, use them and discard them 

I'm being ignored.  It's ok, my music is carp.

Barclay James Harvest? You'd have to be out of it on brandy to even consider listening to that. Oh.... hang on a minute... 

ahem, they're good.

The last song I couldn't stop listening to was: Sufjan Stevens – Chicago

I'm not sick of it yet, though, and I've been listening to it for 5 years!

Arghhhh! Now I've started listening to his whole "Illinoise" album and I'm supposed to be trying to sleep!

Curse you, Prom! *shakes fist*

Songs, albums, films...even food..

Oh Yes. Most definitely.
When I came across the track Stars by Ulrich Schnauss, I played it to death, resurrected it and then played it to death once again.

Despite getting played regularly, I still love this song. It's definitely one of my "goose bumps" songs.

I tracked down the CD single and bought that even though it was stupid money.

I have included below if you are a bit curious..

I dont do this but MrJen does it for me! I find a song i've never heard before and really like, he hears it and also likes it, then he plays it over and over and over again until i want to rip my ears off and make him eat them!

I do it too Prom! Not just with music, but with books and films too.

I've even been known to watch a footie match several times the whole way through!!
I do think with albums that you have to put them aside and give it a year or so before you listen to them again - rekindles the pleasure that way

Oh yes,usually when I've been imbibing...

I feel your pain...

One song that I can play over and over and will have at my funeral is Champagne Supernova (Oasis). Especially the guitar solo. Genius!

My son used to play songs over and over  and over,  until it nearly drove us mad.....  Funny thing now is, that when I hear some of those tunes, like Ghostbusters, for example, I go all nostalgic... and even have them on my Ipod

Ohh Yess!! .... I've done that many many times

I have a play list of songs on my puter that I absolutely never tire of 


However I did stop listening to the radio many moons ago because I found they kept playing the same blurry songs over & over - sooooo annoying!
Gloria Gaynor - 'I will survive' being the one that sticks out the furthest! Eeeeeek!

I'll try again, this is another one I never tire of.

This one I never tire of Cologne !

Could watch this one fer hours & hours

To a certain extent I do it with food.
I go through phases and passions. I could eat the same food day after day for a long time until I begin to tire of it and then move on to a different menu.

As for music, - I did once burn a CD which contained only 1 song. But each track was by a different artist. I liked the song so much (and all the versions were acceptable I thought)  that I decided to put them all on one disc.
On many occasions I have  played the entire disc - many versions of the same song.
Incidentally it was the lovely country song "Making Believe"


This is Merle Haggard & George Jones



and this is Emmylou Harris with the same song





and here is the Kitty Wells version, complete with spelling mistake in the open credits.

It was a big hit for Kitty Wells who is alive and well and in her 90s.

I am the same - find me a taste I like & keep with it - a bit like a comfort blanket 
Although some last longer than others - and after a short stay of absence - just one lil taste & I'm right back where I started 

slimfern, I listened to the first one, it's not my cup of tea, but I can hear why it's very good music, INXS brilliant.

Oh, I've done that recently Brisket with M&S kids mince (bolognese) & pasta 

Yeah I can do that Prom.

Classics like Homelovin' Man stand up.

It's the acid test 

I do that all the time with songs and albums, listen to them till they are done to death then rarely listen to them ever again.

I can now reveal that I have bought "deep pairple in rock!" five times. Originally as a gramophone record, t he last time was off that iTunes a week ago. One soon becomes bored and yet eventually one misses it.

cologne, Ace of Spades isn't so much a song to be played over and over it's a bloody way of life. It's the meaning of ALL things. And it's a very strong message to always do, er, whatever it is they're on about in the song 

ok

Yes, prone to doing that too.
