5 years is forever in exhibition terms. Weird.

Makes sense to me.

I don't have ADD but having some form of music playing can help me focus on a task.

For me at least, it generally needs to be instrumental or mostly instrumental.

What I think it does for me is removes the drudgery of doing something that is repetitive and boring.

That being said, I don't need it to be the same album over and over again. I have broad tastes and a lot to pull from musically.

I do this but I also know not everyone does this because people have commented on how can I still be listening to this band? I listened to nothing but cat empire for maybe 6 months straight when I first discovered them. Also I have not been diagnosed with ADHD.

My Spotify plays are all named the date they were created. I also move a lot, I love being able to go back to 2015 and remember my time in Philly or 2017 and instantly transported to living in Ireland.

I caught the 20th anniversary tour Clash of the Titans. Megadeth, Slayer and Testament each had an album that was 20 years old: Rust in Peace, Seasons in the Abyss and Souls of Black. Every set began with their respective album, played start to finish. Those are either my absolute or among my favorite albums by those bands so it was great to hear all of the deep cuts live.

Yeah hip-hop artists might do it as well, Nas did Illmatic several years ago

Yeah, but more than the amount of times it's that music was essential to properly study (from here the amount). It keeps one piece of my mind occupied so it doesn't wander around lol It frightens knowing that I'm still in the "able to properly function" side of the spectrum

Crazy title. Great exhibition. I went a couple years ago and they built a tiny city full of Pearl Jam and Mother Love Bone artifacts. They even built a full size replica of their first practice space, including ratty chairs and old blankets.

MoPop (formerly the EMP) is a great museum overall and I always recommend it to visitors.

I do this all the time. It's why I can place songs on exact years released, because I can remember certain situations where I was doing something listening to a song and I've moved quite a bit in my life and had many jobs. So doing something based on the environment I'm in while doing so can pinpoint the song's year pretty well.

I usually play a song/album/seasonal playlist out for a few weeks, then go back to my usual stuff like Spotify's New Music Friday. I listened to almost nothing but Tame Impala for a year when I discovered them, it was the first time ever that my attention was held for more than a few weeks.

I'm 50, so I feel like it keeps my brain young.

Me listening to Julien Baker for the last 5 years

No idea what you're talking about

Smaller metal shows. A lot of bands will play their most recent album.

It is increasingly common, especially indie and rock acts. They can tie it in with a re-release and tour that album playing it in full. I have seen a handful of bands do it, the Super Furry Animals did their first two albums. Manic Street Preachers did the Holy Bible followed by a greatest hits encore. I saw Boris do one album and I didn't even realise it was a full album set. Fucked Up did one too, the David Comes to Life album. Works well for cult acts with older legendary albums that maybe they don't play many tracks of live in a normal set. Really exciting for the hardcore fans then.

Floyd's done DSOTM a couple times I think. I hear Pearl Jam's done Ten.

When young for sure, partly as I may have bought a record and it was just new. And I didn't have a lot of other options. Now, almost exclusively though, no. But potentially daily or a few times a week. And it can take me back to certain times and places for sure. But if I have so many choices to listen to I will move on for a time.

Thank you for correction, going to change it to records so its right.

I usually focus on one artist or band for a couple of weeks or months, annoying my family with it, and then move on to the next. I make sure to keep a mix playlist with the best songs for re-hearing it in a couple of months, though.

Yes. I'm in my Ke$ha phase right now.

Sorry, I'm from Europe and I didn't thought of that. Going to change that. Thank you for correction.

yeah I tend to listen to a lot of an artist or genre for a bit and then it eventually cycles to something else.

I actually make playlists of my current “favorite” songs and name the playlist for the time of year it is. Ill put like “early 2022” for the title and add songs that I’m currently listening to the most on it. Then when it seems like those songs are no longer relevant to the new group of songs I’m listening to (like I’m cycling out of listening to them) I make a new playlist like “mid-2022” or “late 2022” depending on the time of year.

So I’ve been doing that since 2017.

I dunno, when I was younger and bought albums I sure as hell would listen to them over and over - maybe in part because I didn't have an unlimited supply of new music. Even today when I encounter something new these days I'll listen to it a lot. I think "exclusively" probably falls a bit on the ADD or OCD side, but "listening to one album more than everything else combined" is definitely quite common.

As with everything in life, there is a very wide range of ways that people interact with music.

It’s interchangeable. Vinyl as a collective noun for records has been used for years

I don’t have emotional attachment to music anymore. But I am an album only on repeat for extended periods of time kind of guy.

10 is a lot. Not surprised at the diagnosis.

Most people don't have an opportunity to listen to music that much, never mind the same album on repeat ten times in a day.

There is no such place as "America", but it is often used as a short name for The United States of America. You should have offered North America and South America as options.

After reading the comments, I’m starting to think I might need to go to a check up and see if I have it
