Artists who you go back and fourth between loving and hating.

Led Zepplin. I've never had an urge to listen to the entirety of any of their albums, but every once in a while I find a song of theirs and listen to it endlessly. About 6 months ago it was Immigrant Song, which I decided was their one and only good song. Then I forgot about them, and about 3 months ago heard the song The Ocean and listened to it over and over. Ignored them again, and now I've listened to the song Over the Hills and Far Away a million times. And I still don't really want to buy any of their albums.

Just get the first disc of the live set that just came out, it's all you really need.

try The Rain Song next, and maybe then Kashmir, which will both keep you going for a time.

1.) Radiohead - there is such a thing as hearing Thom Yorke's voice too much

2.) Beastie Boys - you can only ride the 70s cop show theme for so long

3.) Tricky - came charging out of the gates, straight into a brick wall (actually, he just makes me sad)

4.) Bob Marley - ok, you can't really "hate" Bob Marley, but I used to get so angry when guys on the high school football team would cling beers at the local party and yell out "Marley ROCKS, braugh...."

Creedence. One morning I woke up just unable to hear any Creedence song. I go back and forth.

Primus. It's a constant battle between being inspired by their absurdity and annoyed by it.

One thing though about Primus, or more accurately, their critics, that's been bothering me is the constant criticism of the whole "too many bass solos" thing. Other than intro bits and such, in their whole recorded catalog there's really only like two actual bass solos ("Damned Blue Collared Tweakers" and like maybe it was "Groundhog's Day" or something on Frizzle Fry).

But yeah, they can get annoying.

Acid Mother's Temple, too. I actually love them, but I used to try to keep up with their constant output and had to learn the hard ($) way that quite often, the record I just purchased sounded exactly like the prior release. It sometimes made me feel like the joke was on me.

Prince.

I think that if I over-listen to anyone I will develop a hangover for them. Eventually, if I haven't killed the urge all together, I'll go back.

Devendra Banhart. Joanna Newsom. I think it's a genre thing.

Jane's Addiction. The old records still deliver the goods while "Strays" just makes me sad. Perry Farrell should also be banned from ever giving interviews.

J-rock speaks to my heart.
