I take breaks from Opeth, because it is really easy to overplay many of
their records. Although whenever I hear them from someone else I always
enjoy the moment.
Other records that do not get too much play anymore.
King Crimson - Red
Paatos - Timeloss
Anekdoten - Vemod
Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon
Metallica - Ride the Lightning
Frank Zappa - Hot Rats
Genesis - Nursery Cryme
Jethro Tull - Thick as a Brick and The Passion Play

Same here! The only albums I really love and got tired of are Led Zeppelin II and...well I guess no other. But I am listening to ITCOTCK not as much as I used to, so it remains as good as I know it is.
A cure for this is to constantly listen to different music and discover new bands...Im in that process right now, listening to Neuschwanstein for the first time...and WOW!!! I was really missing out!

I've been taking a break from Pink Floyd recently. They are my favorite band, and will probably forever be, but I've just listened to them too much.

I often take breaks, but it's not really intentional. I just start getting into something else. Then, I will pull out something that has been shelved for a while, and be into it. I really like having a large music collection, because I am constantly falling in love with my music all over again.
By the way E, I respect your opinion, and am going to give Hogarth one more chance. You say "Brave" is the one, eh?

I rarely listen to my favorite albums anymore. I listened to Atom Heart Mother recently, but other than that I can't remember the last time I listened to them, and it was still like I was playing the music in my head 30 seconds ahead of the actual album, and Pink Floyd are my favorite band. I usually don't even listen to an album every day, actually.

As I have many favourite bands, for me it would be more of a break from my favourite records, so that I can get to listen again to those I have more or less neglected. Fortunately, many of my favourite bands are not prog (even though most of them are related, one way or the other), so it'll never come to pass that I need a break from prog altogether!

if you listen to the same stuff all the time sooner or later you will be looking for something different!

Everytime I go on a break from prog I only start thinking about how much I love progressive music and this usually results in me spending 60 dollars on prog CDs.
... I guess I should go on breaks more often?

I tend to try and even out the amount I pla all my albums, obviously my favourit one's will get more play time but they only get played once a week, maybe twice as I try to listen to as many of my albums as I can.

I listen to a CD once, put it away for a few months and then come back to it. So I never get tired of anything. Got plenty of music to go through and a very short commute to work (4 miles one way and little traffic). Simple And yes I get the Friends reference in case no one else does

With the exception of Selling England or The Lamb, both of which i CANNOT tire of, yes, I need a break occasionally.

can't ever get enough... but fortunate to have a rather large
collection of prog albums and wide range of tastes so I'm not sitting
around listenng to the same damn albums all the time.... Love Yes...
but probably been two months since I've listened to CttE.. not that I
need a break.. just lots of new stuff coming in coupled with old
favorites all the the prog spectrum.... more a fan of prog. .than
any one particular group...

I am absolutely incorrigible when it comes to the "that's enough of that" theory. I need breaks from my favorite groups, my favorite albums, and from prog altogether all the time. I usually have to push myself to listen to music. And if I listen to a beloved disc for more than four times in a month.... I usually can't listen to it anymore. The passion is just gone.
So I have to pace myself. I never listen to music on a whim anymore; I always have to write down a list of albums that I feel I'm "due" to listen to. It's bad. I don't know what it is. I just have this tendency to get... bored by music. And losing your love for a favorite disc... that's just a tragedy. I kind of feel that way right now about DT's Images and Words... Last summer I just couldn't listen to anything else... and at the time it just really, really resonated with me emotionally. But whenever I listen to it again, I just can't feel the same. I still love the hell out of the album, but I just can't feel what I used to. And that's just a shame...
You know, sometimes I just need silence. Just...no music for a while. Does anybody else feel the same?

silence is good for one thing and one thing only.... when your are
trying to romance that special lady and having Magma going in the
background might make her run screaming into the night....
