Seriously? I've never even been able to enjoy a Mellencamp song once all the way through, much less on the daily. I get tired as you say, less than halfway through most of them. All the others you mention also would trigger fatigue as well, but I could at least funish the album then enjoy it again a month or two later. 70s music that doesn't ever get old for me: First two sabbath albums Floyd until they went all experimental. Folksy john denver (as opposed to country)

Floyd until they went all experimental When did they get more experimental then their debut album "the piper at the gates of dawn"?

  Saucerful of Secrets, Ummagumma, Meddle…

  Ummagumma is a pretty wild ride I think their early stuff (Piper, Saucer) had a structure of sorts, but it was kinda out there and probably only Syd really understood it Ummagumma was throwing stuff at the wall to see what stuck, and by Meddle they started actually developing a marketable formula (I'd say Atom Heart Mother is somewhere in the middle) Then after Dark Side, they started their real structure and had piles of success until Waters was myopic enough to kick out the only person in the band that mattered

first four sabbath albums always give me chills. First two are phenomenal, but I like all four

  Paranoid is one of the best rock albums ever recorded. Not a bad track on it and all the songs hold up in a way that most of their contemporaries can't hold a candle to. Ozzy himself is a living legend and his output is remarkably consistent (obviously some stinkers but still, to be in Sabbath and then go on to such a successful 'solo' career is a hell of a run.)

'fraid so. I think the Mellencamp lyrics have a universality that's lacking in most rock, which is largely teen-age and young adult themes. I'm thinking especially about "Little Pink Houses." He's a Midwestern boy. What can I say?

  That explains it. I can never manage to understand the lyrics in music. So I respond almost entirely to melody and rythm. I think it's also why I enjoy country and rap less than other music.

    Mellencamp line which sticks with me: I knew this would happen, but I was hopin' not today. So many things we know will happen eventually, but please, NOT today!
