Do you ever go on a musical kick?

Relates to previous thread on how you choose what you will listen to.

Do you ever go on a musical kick, where one day you listen to nothing but punk or hip hop? Do you ever go extended periods (days, weeks, months) and listen to the same type of music, same genre of music? Ever listen to nothing but (rock, hip hop, folk etc…) for an extended period of time?

Rolling Stone said Johnny Greenwood of Radiohead spent 6 months listening to nothing but dub reggae. I know on the shorter end of the spectrum, Kurt Cobain wrote About a Girl about listening to The Beatles for an entire night.

I myself have spent 1 year listening to indie rock, about 90 percent of the time, and not much else. Which is rare for someone like me who has musical taste that extends beyond one genre.

    Forget about same genre...I will repeat the same SONG for a day sometimes. Most times, I'll listen to a single artist for a few days...all depends.

    Today, I've listened to nothing but Natalie Merchant songs for example.

    yeah I do this all the time. Like for the past 3 days I've listened to nothing but Silverchair. And at least once a year I break out all my Beatles albums and go on a binge. I do this with Lennon's solo stuff too. It usually happens around October or so, and it lasts right through christmas. I can't explain it. It's impulsive though.....

    And the rest of the time I just listen to Pearl Jam. :D
    Another habit says it's in love with you
    Another habit says its long overdue
    Another habit like an unwanted friend
    I'm so happy with my righteous self

    I go on musical kicks a lot. There's a series of documentary DVD's that is also shown on VH1 Classics called "Classic Albums". Basicially they go in to depth on how one of rocks "great" albums was created. I watched one on Queen's Night at the Opera and ended up getting out all of my Queen CDs and listening to those for a week. The same thing happened when I watched the one on Jimi's Electric Lady Land. I dusted off my Jimi CDs and listened to those for a week.
