Thinking about it, i’m so glad that @The Hole Got Fixed is only 20 posts away from beating mithveaen’s post count, which means that we’re one step closer to having everyone in the top posters list being on the rooftop.

I am currently uploading two large stacks of CDs onto my computer. I have all of The Beatles except for the Anthology, I have two Paul albums, I have one Fireman album, I have one George album, and I have a John compilation album. And for the sake of making an effort to branch out, I also have a Vince Guaraldi album, a Led Zeppelin album, and an Elliott Smith album.  

I have finally loaded them all and synced them to my phone! I have a lot of listening to do… a-hard-days-night-ringo-6beatlemaniacs_02_gif

I have voluntarily listened to two non-Beatles/non-solo Beatles songs today. I feel like such a traitor.

If you, like me, didn’t like the song, perhaps?

Also, it is ok to listen to other music, just so you know.

I’ll just pretend you didn’t say that…

technically that is true, but I can’t make myself believe it. I’m scared that if I get into some other band I won’t love the Beatles anymore (which obviously won’t happen but I can’t really convince myself of that.) I’m just going to take it slow and listen to more Beatles than ever.

Love one another.

I would advise against it. 

You may very well reach the point of saturation, where you no longer want to hear them anymore because you’ve overdone them.

It’s for the greater good if you branch out before you ruin The Beatles for yourselfjohn-lennon-salute_gif

I’d listen to @The Hole Got Fixed if i were you.

If you listen to The Beatles too much, you’ll lose interest in them. Trust me, it’s happened to me before and i stopped listening to them for a couple of months.

If you need suggestions of other music to listen to, i’d recommend Boston’s first album.

What’s cool about this album is that it was mostly recorded in the guitarist’s basement.

I love Boston’s first album. Every song is great. Same goes for Fleetwood Mac Rumors. 

I side with 50YL on this one. Can’t get tired of The Beatles.

I’m one of those people who has a song in their head 24/7. Unless I’m actively listening to music, I always have a song in my head. For the past year or so, I’ve trained myself to only allow Beatles songs (and it was very hard, my subconscious has a will of steel) to get stuck in my head. Meaning that for the past three or four months, I have (with some lapses, I’m not perfect) had more or less only Beatles/solo Beatles music in my head. And I love them more than ever. So I’ll branch out a little to be on the safe side, but yeah, I don’t think I could ever really tire of the Beatles.

Love one another.

There was a period where I was a total Beatles maniac. Listening so much it was like being stoned 24/7. But I actually thought it became counterproductive, if you know what I’m saying – if not I’ll try and explain. There are more days than today, and forever is a long time. In order to prolong my enjoyment I backed off a bit. I didn’t want to RISK tiring of them too much. I started by leaving certain albums unlistened to for a while, and focusing on others, or just having a break from music. I believe it actually helped my fandom, because when I started again there was excitement in revisiting old friends. I loved the days of having a brand new Beatles album I had never heard. Those days are over, obviously. The new White Album release had that effect though. My hunger isn’t ever going away, but a little management doesn’t hurt. I can listen to all the albums in my head after all.

The way I listen to music (mostly on shuffle), that brings about some songs not having been listened to for months – I had one the other day whereupon I listened to Baby You’re A Rich Man for the first time in many months, and it was like rediscovering an old friend, as you say.

I guess the point is, don’t infatuate yourself with Beatles. Take regular breaks from songs/albums, if not the entire catalogue, just to enjoy it more.

One song I try to only listen to now and again is I Want To Hold Your Hand , as I strongly link it to flipping my world over when I first really got into The Beatles back in the spring – summer 2016. And it still kinda does on those occasions I listen to it!a-hard-days-night-john-6I feel it would lose that magic feeling and I’d hate to burn out on it for a while if I was to play that song so consistently. But yeh, that feeling of revisiting a song/album for the first time in ages (which admittedly I need to do with Abbey Road sometime soon!paul-mccartney-facepalm_gif) is amazing.a-hard-days-night-john-1

For Revolver Sgt Pepper and The White Album I took a year off from hearing the songs so that I could listen on the 50th anniversary and the songs would be fresh again. I’ll do the same for the next two, however in the coming month I will hear a whole lot of Let It Be from the january 69 sessions. I want to try to listen to each day’s 50th anniversary.
