i think i have been having some overload. i tried listening to GB today and i had the sound turned down to almost inaudible.
i think i need a break.

Cleanse the audio palate with some Ween.

It happened to me about a year ago so I just don't listen to him very often anymore. Worked wonders and it allows me to enjoy his music more when I do.

i never listen to him so much that i feel overwhelmed by the amount i'm listenin to...i play prince's stuff in moderation.

Is there such a thing as a Prince overload? I thought it was impossible.

Me. This angelic friend of mine gave me a lot of stuff and I listened to it so much, I'm burned out. I haven't listened to P in a whole week.

A whole week?! I can't seem to get enough!

yeah I think I'm having overload, too...problem is, I'm broke, and can't afford to buy any other cds by other artists...oh well ...

I go through periods of wanting to listen to Prince stuff, and periods of not wanting to - just like other artists/styles of music.

I did go through a long period after Crystal Ball and upto TRC that I really didn't listen to him at all. I bought the albums and gave them a once-through, but I really wasn't into his stuff that much for that time period.

i cant stop listening to him at work...yesterday i played gb and the symbol album over and over and now im playing prince from 1979 "when were dancing close and slow"...not sure when my burnout is going to happen but i dont see it coming yet.

This happened to me a few times in the past. Normally when you don't hear anything new for a while.

THE CURE?

Live performances - go watch Lovesexy live, SOTT, or even Rave into.

You soon remember why you love the man, everything from lovesexy and SOTT to Chaos and Disorder suddenly take on a whole new lease of life. This of course is secondary to a LIVE live performance, brings it all flooding back you can't get enough. The best feeling in the world.

I understand that! No $ can be detrimental to your collection.

Yes I get burned out sometimes for months at a time and then go back and "rediscover" his stuff and it always shocks me how great so much of it is. Most artists have maybe two or three great songs, but Prince has at least a hundred songs that I love.

I never really get tired of the older classic stuff like 1999 though. I could listen to that album every day and never really get sick of it.

I am. I just recently got the "Testament" mp3 cd collection, and I'm in the process of converting it 2 cds 4 my own collection, but I have about 3 or 4 other people that I have 2 make copies 4, and I'm still not done with mine!! I will definatley be burned out when it's all said and done.

I have the 3cds from the hits/B sides in my stereo right now. Every now & then i play them at shuffle.
