What's my problem? Lately I pre-mature eject. How did this happen?

The first time I heard "Heartbreaker" blew me away; next thing I know I'm borrowing all my cousin's tapes. But that was when I was 14. So look out in 25 years you'll be in my boat. :?

Happens to everyone at some point. Just give it a few days, maybe a week, then stick on House of the Holy and the first 1:20 of The Song Remains the Same will see you straight.

For me, I've always likened Zeppelin to a buffet. Every once in a while you find yourself at the serving line, you feast on as much as you can for as long as you can until you've more than reached your fill, and then you don't return for a long time until one day you find yourself back at the serving line.

Several years ago my friend and I had a little joke, it was done in the voice as if it was a commercial, it was something like, "Are you suffering from Led Zeppelin burn out?" We would just make that joke because they would play them ALL THE TIME on the radio and would would rarely play them on our own at that point.

As long as I never have to listen to Ramble On again, I'm happy.

My listening habits are so dictated by my moods that I go months without listening to bands I love , then if the mood strikes I'll listen to one artist almost exclusively for a couple of weeks. I was pretty much obsessed with Zeppelin at the beginning of the year for about a month, and then I suddenly moved on to something else and haven't listened to them since!

Exactly the same here.

Don't see the Tom Cruise "Oblivion" move, then.

It's amazing that Zeppelin was basically active from 1969-1980, got 8 studio albums out, and have such a huge impact. Sure, anything, including your favorite things in massive quantities in repetition will make you sick of it. But you keep coming back to it because it is that good and that timeless. I think I have to take a break from anything from time to time. One favorite is Ten Years Gone and I started to listen to it a lot last week and I need to take a break. I'll be back. I never got into Hats off to Roy Harper. That's Zeppelin's Stupid Mop. Other than that, I love everything else. It's amazing someone could hit the bullseye for me, personally, on 8 albums. PJ comes somewhat close in that regard. They have way more material released so of course there will be a lower ratio relative to my tastes. Wait it out and it will be back.
