I like to make a playlist for every month of my nonstop listened to songs. It’s cool to go back to past years and reminisce about what my life was like when I was listening to that music. A lot of times I forget about stuff that was going on, and it helps me remember too.

Yup

What do you use to find the live shows?

Kids don't know what it was like to buy a CD

100%

I have spent the last year listening to only Kendrick Lamar, The Weeknd, and Pink Floyd. So I'd say yes it's common

Hell yea

John mellencamp - the best that I could do, AND the B52’s - Time Capsul. Both awesome albums!!

Drugdealer - Pictures of You

No doubt. Every year some of my favorite bands come out with new music and every year, on my Spotify wrapped, my top 5 songs are usually the first 5 songs of that new album haha.

Me and my friends went through a degen phase and 2 albums were the soundtrack to said degen phase. I’ve got an album that reminds me of my first year of college, walking through the quad on my way to history class. I’ve got an album that reminds me of moving out of my parents house for the first time. Dad rock, mainly Zeppelin live tunes, for when me and the boys were smokin weed in high school haha.

I’ve got a buddy who reserves certain artists/albums for seasons tho which is different and intriguing.

Ahh yea I'll check them out, I'm a Maiden fan so I'll definitely have to listen to the one with Dickinson.

One of the other shows I've been listening to Ween Live in Chicago. Definitely worth a listen if you're looking for something different. The band was firing on all cylinders that night.

If I am completely honest with myself it probably is Yaketty Sax. Performed by The Art of Noise [with Bjork].

Know the story well.

Don't forget, he shot the wife too, "so quick they had no time to warn her, and she never heard anyone say, Don't cross him, don't boss him ..."

I know live albums are not the criteria for this thread, but I just like to pay props to all things Willie. Happy 90, frikin legend.

Willie, Dylan and Prine are magical, prolific writers to me. Saw Dylan and Willie together at a ball park near Southbend IN, 2009. Had my wife and kids with me. 4th of July. So proud to be pretty well versed in their works.

Old guy here. This is how you did it when tapes and CDs cost $$. Buy an album and fully absorb it, then try something else.

I’ll listen to the same song for weeks till I find a new one to obsess on.

Gunning For The Buddha by Shriekback.

2 times? Not odd.

10 is a bit weird though.

Hansi is a great singer. He sang on a couple of Ayreon albums, you should check them out (If you're not familiar, it's a collaborative group that pulls in different singers for each album - including Mikael Akerfeldt, James Labrie, Bruce Dickinson, and Devin Townsend).

Snap! (Or Compact Snap! As I bought it on CD) The Jam

I Do by Cardi B feat Sza

I'm Out by Ciara

My wife does this a lot.

It kind of sounds like you don’t know a lot of hip hop

Yea lately there's a few live shows I've been throwing on whenever I want some music in the background. Which led to me rediscovering my love of Blind Guardian. But things will cycle and I'll move on to something else and "rediscover" something else.

This is a great list! Shout out for listing Hum-Inlet. That’s one of the best albums of the last 10 years IMO.

Iron Maiden- Brave New World was my soundtrack when Diablo 2 came out. The album never fails to make me want to play D2.

My current fixation is He Is Legend - Endless Hallway

I’m finding, as I get older, music I REALLY enjoy is becoming harder and harder for me to find. Its starting to all sound the same.
