Do you binge listen to just one artist at one sitting?

Do you binge listen to just one artist at a time? I find that I will listen to one artist's work for 3-4 hours straight with no deviation before I call it quits. How about you?

 

Nope. I hardly ever do this. I usually play stuff from different artists.

 

Often.
Sometimes one artist is my main go to for a few months/weeks, depending on their catalog.

 

all the time!

 

I'm doing it now...Stevie Ray Vaughan for the past two hours and not bored yet.

 

In the past year, I've spent many full days listening only to Brian Eno's "Reflection".

 

I do this all the time. I love to listen to the complete discographies of artists all in chronological order. I tend to be "all in" when it comes to artists I really love and I will enjoy their entire career. Listening to them grow, change and develop over their albums is fascinating for me.

 

All the time. Mostly with The Stones or Beach Boys.

 

As of late, yes.

 

Me too. Last week it was Procol Harum. This week possibly The James Gang or John Wesley Harding - the artist, not the album.

 

It depends. I could listen to instrumental stuff like the Ventures or Joe Pass all day long. For some reason I can't do that if it has vocals.

 

I have with Elvis, The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Frank Sinatra, Barbara Streisand, Hank Williams Sr, George Jones and Merle Haggard.

 

Me in a nutshell!

 

Grant Green Saturday this past weekend.

 

Sometimes I get in a jag, and listen to one artist or band for a long time, much to my family's irritation. Other times, when I have time for listening, I will randomly pull LPs off the shelf and play them.

 

Occasionally. Especially if it's an artist that I own their whole discography and it's only a few albums. But sometimes I'll get in the mood and go through bigger bands too, mostly The Beatles, The Monkees, or The Kinks.

 

My "binge" is probably in the car, on three-to-five hour round trips. I'll pick out a particular artist's CDs or maybe their box set, knowing I'll be finished about the time I get back home.




"Four hours...give or take."

 

I do it occasionally and only with my vinyl collection. Also when no one else is in the house. :>)
A few weeks ago, there were 2 days of just Procol Harum and offshoot records (Trower, Fisher, Brooker) records.
Some weeks before that it was The Kinks along with some Ray and Dave solo LPs.

 

i'll sometimes pull out an album of a band i haven't listened to in a while and say to myself "holy crap i forgot how good they are/were" this is happening with X right now - i'm on a two day binge, billy zoom is incredible and the band on a whole is amazing (but you already knew that ) , great tunes



totally rocking out, too durned cold to bother going outside today

 

Me too.

 

yes, but.

 

I'll generally always at least play an entire album side - as I don't like to mess with the needle in the groove - and typically this will make me think of what I want to listen to next.

 

Frequently. I've had very enjoyable marathons of the Beatles, the Beach Boys, Rascals, Tom T. Hall, Carly Simon, Richard Harris, Olivia Newton-John, Joe South, Bob Dylan, Porter Wagoner, and more.

 

I can get like this,
Just lately I have been playing
Frank Sinatra and David Sylvian a lot
And today Marcus Miller all afternoon.
But some days I mix it up all depends on mood and what I find at stores or web.

 

Yes! In fact, this is my preferred listening paradigm; which is why I love box sets - especially sprawling Classical collections like the recent Szell set. Where deep catalogues aren't available (like the Pistols & Clash), I'll often pull 8-10 genre-specific albums for the day's fare.
