Do you ration your favorite music?

I'm sure not lately. One of if not my favorite bands is Golden Earring. About 98% of what has been coming through my speakers lately has been them. I've been loving it but have wondered if I should back off as not to tire of what is an oustanding output of material since the late 60's.

Mike60, I know exactly what you mean. I do the same thing. A little voice says "don't play that now, you just listened to it a couple days ago, it's too good to risk getting bored with it, wait awhile." Of course, sometimes that little voice gets overruled by another little but louder voice that says "on the other hand, you could die in your sleep tonight so why deprive yourself now?"

Definately do ration my best stuff.

I do as well, something to be savored...

I try and ration and for me it's very difficult. That's why I spend a lot of time researching new music. The best thing I ever did was fell in love with David Byrnes compilation called Brazil Classics 1 back in the late 80's. I had it for years and just enjoyed it. Then I started to get curious about the artists so I began to research Brazilian music. The history of it was interesting enough, but when I started purchasing music I fell into this whole new world of amazing music and its been with me ever since. There's still a lot more to be discovered. Last night I ended my evening with Stan Getz and Joao Gilberto featuring Antonio Carlos Jobim. One cannot deny the fact that The Girl from Ipanema is one of the greatest Jazz tunes of all time, but the funny thing is its not the best tune on this record.
