Have you ruined any of your favorite band’s songs for yourself?
By you overplaying them (not the radio or the song suddenly becoming popular, etc.)…
Update:I did it to Hots On For Nowhere, Out On the Tiles, and The Rover. I still love the songs, but I obsessed over these songs (individually) way too much… basically playing only that one song for a couple weeks. That was incredibly stupid. They *are* starting to sound better again (since I haven’t listened to them in months), though, so that’s a good sign.

Oh, I do that all the time...
The Ocean, Bonzo's Montreux, Celebration Day and Friends (it makes me sick that I ruined that song for myself; it is such a brilliant song...), just to name a few by Led Zeppelin. And with the Ocean, it was not even that I was listening to it a lot, it just got stuck in my head and I could not get it out for two weeks, but by then, it was too late. I was sick of it. Bonzo's Montreux is starting to grow on me again, as is Friends. I should never have gotten sick of Friends.
Happiness is a Warm Gun, Martha my Dear, Here, There and Everywhere, and I'm Only Sleeping, to name a few by the Beatles. I went through a phase of obsession for each of those songs...
And most of the songs on Donovan's Hurdy Gurdy Man album... I listened to that album way too much. But, now I am starting to like those songs again.
Oh, and Touch Me by the Doors. That was all I listened to for a week. That was a long time ago though, and when I heard it played in a store a couple days ago, I realized that I liked it again.
Smells Like Teen Spirit by Nirvana
Stairway To Heaven by Led Zeppelin
Foxy Lady- The Jimi Hendrix Experience
I Want To Hold Your Hand- The Beatles
Baba O'Riley- The Who
Not necessarily my favorite bands.
I have a habit of doing this to most of the songs I love. "The Rover" seems to be one of those songs that is AWESOME the first time you hear it, then seems worn out after a couple turns. I see it as kind of odd, considering how much asss the other Zeppelin jams kick after idk how many times listening. The great thing about Led Zeppelin is that their catalogue is so epic, you never run out of vinyl, lol. I did stop listening to them for about a month Aug-Sept, and I have to say, they still sound so much better fresh.
Haha,yes of course.I've done it with several songs actually...
That's why everytime I see myself getting really into a band,I try to listen to other stuff as well from time to time...
It's great when the opposite happens-when a song never gets old over time because you never overplayed it.
Less than Jake - Losing Streak Album, used to be one of my favs.
Bad Religion - The New America, yet again, 24/7, now hardly not at all.
Last but certainly not least, RX Bandits - Progress, I guess too much of a good thing can be detrimental.
Pretty much any song I work really hard on to learn well on guitar... Tom Sawyer by Rush, Jump In The Fire by Metallica, and The Root of All Evil by Dream Theater being excellent examples.
Good Question.
I played GNR'S "Sweet Child O Mine" way way way too much when I was first getting into the band. After a while, everytime I would listen to it, it would just bore me, so I didn't listen to it for months. Like, for a really long time. Now I can listen to it no problem. I still love it.
I ruined No Quarter by Led Zeppelin and The Air Near My Fingers by The White Stripes for myself.
*sniff* I wish I hadn't.
Yeah, i've done that a lot. I'm currently going through that stage with '39, Good times bad times and in only seven days. and, i seem to have passed the phase of not listening to lazing on a sunday afternoon.
i really hate ruining things for myself, but i do. all the time, until i just can't listen to them, not out of hatred, just from tiring of them. Thouh, it does pass... eventually. =/

I was listening to all of Avenged Sevenfold's songs a few months ago. I got tired of all of them after listening to all of them about thirty times in one week.
