   I go more in spurts than only listening 1-2x a year. I'll spin DSOtM once a month at minimum but there are times I'll spin it once a week.I will say though there are records I have not played in quite awhile.

	I'm curious on everyone's thoughts on the impact of "overplaying" of songs and that impact on the quality of the song or the ability of the listener to judge the song. In the recent Classic Rock Showdown polls, it has been a common response to put down these songs as having been overplayed and never wanting to hear them again. While I certainly get this to a certain extent, isn't there also an absence makes the heart grow fonder aspect to this too? Hence, why some of us only spin a Selling England or Dark Side of the Moon once a year or less because of our own overplaying of them, but boy do they still sound great when we do dust them off and give them a listen. Anyhow, I'm not sure what my point is, but it seemed like something that could lead to an interesting discussion. Edited by rushfan4 - May 12 2021 at 15:23
