I can’t listen to songs over and over and over. After a while they start to drive me crazy. At some point, even the songs I love, I don’t want to hear more than just every once in a while. Songs I didn’t really like all that much in the first place become extremely aggravating after repeated listenings and end up getting [pitted](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=173761). ---

**Abandoned Pools** - _The Remedy_ I’m listening to it for probably the 5th time today. **James** - _Laid_ I usually listen to this at least 5 times per week **Better Than Ezra** - _In the Blood_ Greatest song ever written, and rarely a day goes by that I don’t listen to a version of it. _Strange Funny Way_ I can listen to this over & over with no problems, as with _Live Again_ which I usually hear a few times per week. ---

Right now I have **Ends** by Everlast in my head. I’ve been listening to it for like two weeks. I can’t get the lyrics out of my head. Highly haunting stuff. Hands down, the song I listen to over and over and over and over and over and over for decades now has been **Starship Trooper** by Yes. Live, studio, whatever. I can’t get enough of that song. Other recent obsessions include **All The Small Things** by Blink 182, and and **Smooth Criminal** by Alien Ant Farm. ( yes, it sounds EXACTLY like Michael Jackson during his “Thriller” years. So? And? 🙂 ). Come to think of it, I did a fairly heavy period with **Youth Of The Nation** by P.O.D. as well. Something about truly well crafted hip-hop/rap lyrics that get me, I guess. Then again, I burned out my 45 of **Call Me** by Blondie… heh Cartooniverse ---

**Spoz** told me to post this on his behalf, as he’s gone to bed now: [**SPOZ** ’s Playlist](http://www.subwoofer.32k.org/playlist.html) That’s his Winamp-generated playlist of his 300 favorite songs; the list changes all the time. Knowing him, the list has Aphex Twin / Beastie Boys / Radiohead / the Prodigy / etc. on it. I’ll think of stuff I like listening to over and over again, and get back to this thread later. 🙂 F\_X ---

“The Scientist”, “Politik”, “Clocks” and “A Rush of Blood to the Head” by Coldplay. The first four tracks off The White Stripes’ _Elephant_. And, inexplicably… “Love Bites” by Def Leppard I also listened to Radiohead’s “Fake Plastic Trees” every day of my sophomore year in college. ---

I’m with mungo on being afraid to listen to songs over and over, because then they become everyday-ish. I do, however, save my favorites for when I’m psyched to hear them. I really like the way most of them begin, although some develop and that’s why I like them. They include Stones’ Carol, Gimme Shelter, Jeff Beck’s Goin’ Down, Who’s Fooled Again, any of the songs on Peter Green’s Fleetwood Mac very first album (love those dust my broom blues), and Steve Miller’s Jetairliner (long version), Red House, and some others. But these are my main squeezes. Probably left a few vital ones out, like Red-neck Friend (JB) and The Call Me the Breeze (LS)… ---

Pretty much anything by Hank Jr. - his songs have such a catchy tune and lyrics. Even my friends who are anti-country get his songs stuck in their head. I have a Hank Jr. CD that never leaves my car CD player. Also, I constantly listen to anything by Dwight Yoakam. But my “song of the week” that I can’t stop listening to is “Dune Buggy” by Presidents of the USA ---

One example I can quickly think of is Rufus Wainwright’s self-titled album… it’s so soothing and melodic, somehow. F\_X ---

Almost any new song I love I play to death. But there are a few that I have been listening to for upwards of 30 years and still never tire of. A couple that pop into my mind at the moment are both Marvin Gaye tunes: \*\* Mercy Mercy Me \*\* and “What’s Goin’ On.” ---

The Pixies’ “The Sad Punk” still thrills and awes me after approximately 1,472,409 listenings. Also I got the new White Stripes album, _Elephant_, today, and I can definitely see the song “Girl, You Have No Faith in Medicine” entering my personal Hall of Fame.
