Hi all,
my musical fits come in waves. I currently am listening to more Depeche Mode than ever before in the last 5 years. But unlike before, I'm concetrating on a lot of live bootlegs, trying to recapture memories of past concerts. But there are times when I can last for months without lsitening to my fav band. It's times like these that I need so not to oversaturate myself and lose interest in the long run. Or as others have stated, not to lose my sanity and grasp of reality. Other musical fits I had in my life: Queen - Greatest Hits 1 Beatles - Red and Blue album and a few others I'm too embarassed to mention @Nanook: Don't settle for the imitation, if you can get the real thing. Try the following replacement in your playlist: Mike Koglin - The Silence <-> Depeche Mode - Enjoy The Silence Stoepsel

When I was 15 I would have tended to listen to an album intensely and non-stop for a week. Mainly cos I didnt have many records and music just makes a deeper impression when yer that age.
The Smiths-"Hatful of hollow" Nirvana-"Nevermind" (tape is literally worn away) Sonic youth-"Dirty" (ditto) |

1988 Especially The Host of the Seraphim, Severance, The Writing on My Father's Hand and Chant of the Paladin. This CD hasn't left my player for about a week. P.S. I'm fifteen. |

I can totally relate to that. That were the years that were to determine my musical taste for the next 20 years, amybe even the rest of my life. I also had my favourite music recorded on tape, because I didn't have enough money to buy LPs. Everywhere I went, my Walkman went with me. One more musical fit from the past: When I was 12 I was sick for a few weeks. During that time I constantly listened to Dire Straits - Brothers In Arms. It sure helped me through that tough time and still gets me all emotional when I listen to it now. Stoepsel - Feeling 15 all over again...

Actually, come to think of it, I wouldn't and couldnt listen to anything but Radiohead's "Amnesiac" album around September 11th and the weeks after. A lot of the lyrics were pretty chilling to hear at the time....

I went through a mean Radiohead fit, getting all their bsides and then moving on to post Pablo Honey Albums. It was a good fit. Right now my Britpop fit drags on, as I dig around in Oasis. |

I'm currently having an Enigma musical fit. I'm gonna take all of their cds, make the tracks into mp3s and put it on my mp3 player. Then I can listen to soothing music anytime me wants

Waiting for Tori's new album, sure to be my next fit.
Currently: Frou Frou (Imogen Heap & Guy Sigsworth) - Details. Bought it a couple of days ago just because Jon Hassell plays a few trumpet solos on it and Brian Eno co-wrote a song on it, and I CAN'T STOP LISTENING TO THE DAMNED THING OVER AND OVER. It's sort of like Garbage grew up, moved to France and smoked some opium... only better. |

here's some of my musical fits:
Third Eye Blind Ben Folds (and Ben Folds Five) Sugar Ray Radiohead At the Drive In Once Again Rage Against the Machine Stone Temple Pilots System of a Down Creed Everlast Everclear and the most irritating fit i'm currently on is always listening to Cake - I Will Survive. It seems like my hand just wants to automatically double click this file and get it playing out over my speakers |

Thanks for the kind offer Shani, but Ima wait 'till the bleery eyed truckers bring hard copies to my local record sto'. I've been trolling said establishment every day waiting for it to show up--and also for Peter Gabriel's UP to appear. Yesterday as I wandered around I heard an unknown-to-me Gabriel song and asked the clerk the origin of the song. He didn't know, went to check and returned with an advance promo copy of UP and flashed it at me. I barely restrained the urge to wrestle him to the ground for it.
Anyway, I'm still way hooked on the above mentioned Frou Frou - Details and strongly urge everyone to try to find it. (Especially Ms. Wenchie, who I feel certain will be as crazy about it as I am judging from some of her previously mentioned musical crushes.) Let me know if you can't find it out there in share-land and I'll get on KaAzA and set it free. |

My last musical fit lasted about 2 years
Over Van morrison's Melancolia I had been told that it was tom waits who had done it.....so i looked and looked and looked......eventually i hit upon the idea that it was someone else, and did a google search on the lyrics.

Thanks for suggesting Frou Frou Stoner! I LOVE the music, and am currently in a download frenzy, getting as many songs I can find.
