"Forgotten Music Week"

Today I decided to, for the next week and perhaps a half again, listen mostly to albums I have owned for a long time but either haven't listened to in ages or never got much into in the first place. As to be expected for me, the albums in question consist of half prog half metal with some greyzone stuff and even industrial thrown in.

Do you ever have similar occasions? In my case it happens because I have the same staple of albums I usually listen to, and then I sometimes have to find something else. This is, oddly enough, not why I have a rather small record collection, it's more like it's the opposite way around and it's the same 10-20 albums I usually listen to. Sometimes some of the albums I own also fall out of favour because there's something new I discover, then there's that my tastes change a bit over time.

Even in 2006 i remember one of my goals was to listen to every single album i had, including those that had dust and had not touched for a long time.   There are occassions that i listen to those "forgotten" albums and while listening i say "oh man how great is it" so it is always good to give a spin to them. I have had those kind of forgotten music week, if not week, maybe days.  And probably most of those albums are the ones i used to listen when i was younger, in my case alternative rock and some prog oldies.

Sometimes that actually ends up with one of the forgotten albums becoming a new regular. That's for example what happened for me with Piper at the Gates of Dawn.
