Band/Artist Music Fatigue?

What band or artists did you ever suffer fatigue from?

What do you think caused it?

Are the bands/artists that you still suffer fatigue from? Or are there songs from an artist that you may have some serious fatigue from?

Did you ever find a cure?

here are a few of mine:

From 1982-1988 Led Zeppelin. I never want to hear Black Dog or Rock and Roll ever again. Not sure if there is a cure. Give me The Rover or Achilles Last Stand. I blame KISW/KZOK/KXRX for overplaying it. What cured it was hair metal and the early grunge movement in Seattle. And going in and listening the deep cuts that rocked. The fatigue has been cured.

Queen. Still have Queen fatigue to this day. Maybe if they played more of the deep cuts that rocked it might be cured. What soothes it is hearing the Flash Gordon theme. But Bohemian Rhapsody is the main cause of Queen fatigue. The blame goes to radio and Wayne's World.

Springsteen: From '84-'87 had some serious fatigue going on. Tunnel of Love was what really made it bad. I blame the Seattle radio stations. But I do love me some I'm Going Down and On Fire. I also think The Boss getting all political makes it worse.

Genesis/Phill Collins: Couldn't get away from them. Dorky ass MTV videos. the Peter Gabriel stuff is too weird to cure it. I think time is the only thing that may heal it.

Aerosmith: I was always into Aerosmith. I bought Permanent Vacation before it went bonkers. Once they hit it big again, the fatigue had set in. Basically, everything from Permanent Vacation onward I have fatigue from. The videos and dorky ass songs. Early Aerosmith is still OK in my book. But Pump and Nine Lives, no thanks.

Some bands have a song or songs that you never want to hear again, but you do love their tunes. Metallica, the Scorpions, U2, and the Red Hot Chili Peppers come to mind.

    Agree on Springsteen and Genesis/Phi Collins back in the day. It was white on rice, couldn't get away from it

    Classic rock radio ruined a lot of bands for a lot of people from the 80s up through at least the 90s. It's less of a thing these days. I can go months or years without hearing Boston, Journey, Eagles, Led, etc and I find that I like a lot more classic rock now that I'm not blasted with it by the radio. Bruce Springsteen is a great call too.

    I had the misfortune of moving to Seattle in 1991. Way over exposed to grunge, the chilli peckers, and others. I just wanted to smoke weed and eat shrooms and listen to reggae at the time. I hated all grunge until around 2010 and then was amazed to find that I liked it after all.

    Songs / albums more than artists, with 2 exceptions…Journey and Genesis. With the fatigue of Zeppelin, Aerosmith, U2, ZZ Top, Skynrd, Fleetwood Mac, et.al, they have a deep enough bench that I can cherry pick. I haven’t listened to Stairway / Black Dog / R&R willingly in 25 years, same with Free Bird / Bammer. IFL Eagles, but I can’t listen to most, if not all of their Greatest Hits album. I will turn the channel on “Smells Like Teen Spirit”, but like Chuck, I didn’t start listening to grunge until the mid-00s. I was already burned out on Nirvana before then.

    My fix was moving away from mTV (when they played music) and terrestrial radio completely.

    U2 and Chili Peppers. A buddy and I have Under the Bridge as the breaking point but for him it’s everything before UtB and for it’s everything after UtB.

    Under the Bridge is the song that ruined the chilli peppers for me. That and suck my kiss. Other than those I loved Blood Sugar Sex Magic. The Righteous and the Wicked is probably my favorite song by them.

    Queen. Fuck Queen.

    For me band fatigue is a gear problem.

    Dark Side of the Moon does nothing for me in the car or on ear pods. Put to to 11 on a good great and I'm enthralled every time.

    I was even having a good time listening to the One of these Nights LP the other month, and I NEVER get into the Eagles.
