Enough!

[JohnB]

A point occurred to me during another thread - which then got lost in
the poor signal to noise ratio, but it's worth its own thread to see
how others think.

After listening to Yes' Going For The One recently, I felt the need to
listen to something as different as possible afterwards, in this case
a sombre (but very good) folk-ish album, Last by the Unthanks. It was
as though my brain had said, "Enough of that! I need a change!",
perhaps a little like clearing your palette between courses at a
banquet? Or maybe there's a better metaphor?

Sometimes silence will do, but sometimes I just have to go for
something opposite, another example being when I listened to some
classic rock stuff (LZ, Bad Company, and more on a compilation), next
I felt the need to play Laura Marling. Also when my wife had been
playing classical, I put on Tom Waits.

Does anyone else find this need to "clear the head" after listening to
one particular type of music?

Not quite as you put it but....

As a Yes fan, the direct opposite for a kid in Canada in '74 was, of

A Yes fan? All you do is affront them, Jammit. Such a douche.

Do you know if there is a Yes group, so I can go there and talk about
the Beatles.

Indeed you are. I apologise to those who think cross-posting is wrong,
but I thought the subject matter could arouse comment from far more
than just Yes fans.

Ooops, sorry folks. I missed the x-post. It wasn't a raja post so I
didn't even check.

There's nothing wrong with x-posting. There is a reason why it's featured
in most read/post software. It's just a bunch of whiney self-appointed
interet cops or people who think they're going to reach the bandwidth limit
(yeah, right), even though there are scores of free sites to enjoy
Usenet...if Usenet *can* be enjoyed that is....

nope. i usually go with a theme. the only time i load the 5 disc
changer we have out on the screened porch is when we grill and have a
few. sometimes it'll be all AC/DC, all Stones, all Beatles, all
Sinatra, all classic rock, all swing, all blues etc. my wife would
never put up with all Yes, tho. or all much McCartney for that
matter.
the only way i can agree with what you are asking is if i listen to
the radio and boston or styx comes on. then i'd have to immediately
switch to the country station to get that sh!t out of my ears.

Oh yeah, John. In fact, I rarely listen to just one artist....let
alone
listen to one style of music. My CD's are full of various artists
and styles.
