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
 
Simon & Garfunkel bridge over trouble waters album ~ I had a roommate that played this smarmy bullshit constantly until i finally frisbeed it out the window into a nearby parking lot. Gag me.

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.
 
Bands I never tire of
Yella's Eagles
Hall and Oates
Journey
Skynard
Crazy Horse and Neil
Def Leppard
In and out
Zep
Who
 
I'm actually thinking about 90s grunge since I avoided it at the time
Some good songs well aged
 
I was talking to my friend the other day about this. What really causes fatigue is streaming.
Back in the day if you heard a song on the radio or a music video came on, it left you wanting more.
We are so spoiled now that I just skip over amazing songs I would have made everyone stop for in the 90s.
When REO SPeedwagon's "Roll with Changes" came on a scene in "A Cabin the Woods" I felt like I was in that time again. I found the song and now I have heard it 100 times I have moved on lol.
 
Classic rock on radio is what ruined listening - 3 songs from each group played over and over again. Moving over towards the coast outside Raymond, could not get most rock stations so started listening to country music. The Sirius App has some good deep cut rock, classic rock, and country channels with nothing but music. They play side b songs and is not bad, KESR (donatiions to keep it running) in Everett and North of Everett (90.3 or something like that) plays obscure music for the most part. So I do not listen to popular music and am tired of most groups songs that made them famous. Too numerous to list
 
Grunge for all of the 90s, then later I got into some of it

Anything by Megan Trained Seal, Pink, and a few other pop artists
 
  1. The Beatles. They were shoved down my generations throat. I love 60's music and I do enjoy a Beatles now and then but I never search it out.
  2. The Eagles. I just kind of feel like its made for closeted homos. Though desperado hits when it comes on randomly. I've been told its much more 'rocking' when seen live.
  3. Green Day: Pretty certain it was the American Idiot album. Just came off as too self important. Also was played a lot on radio.
  4. John Cougar Mellencamp: Kind of feels like a one trick pony. Jack and Diane hits but I don't really care for anything else.
  5. Tom Petty* - see the asterisk. So I love Tom Petty, I just struggle to hear his music back to back. Like I can't sit and listen to him multiple songs in a row. However randomly, in a shuffle, most of his songs I'm turning up and singing along to. Just don't follow up American Girl with Free Falling.

If you're bashing closeted homos.....

Kind of similar on JCM and Tom Petty. Used to fucking hate Tom Petty. Might have been biased because one of my other closeted homo buddies was a music snob and hated Tom Petty. Now he's pretty listenable.

Damn near hate JCM now where I used to quite like his stuff. Might be because he's a flaming communist millionaire and I could give two shits about his opinion on pretty much anything. TITTT

Eagles is hit and miss. Hotel California is worth listening to simply to get to the guitar showdown at the end. If I never hear Peaceful Easy Feeling again, it would be too soon.

Going through a disco phase right now. Will probably OCD Bee Gees in the next month or so and ruin them too.
