Do you have a CD, or a singer or band, you used to listen to everyday in the past, but now you can't stand listening to it, for some obscure reason?

I really loved the hard rock group "Grand Funk Railroad" as a teenager in the early '70's. Lotsa years went by and when I listened to their big-time (I think 2nd) album again in the mid-'80's, it was like, WTF was I thinking? Now I got one of their tunes on my YouTube 'favourites' list.
Sorta 'full circle' (but not quite!) now?

Wow - that's really cool, guy! Sounds like he's got a lotta 'class' to do that. Lemme ask = in the day, didn't this band seem, I dunno, more 'intelligent' than lots of 'em? This dude especially. I can dig that!

[Where I live, there's lotsa 'celebrities', etc., and from what I've seen, I can understand how most of 'em can seem like dickheads. But there's some real A-holes out there stalking 'em (or worse) alla time!]

BTW: Somewhere above, '8-track' tapes are mentioned = I hadda case fulla twenty I gave to a pal a few years ago. What a crappy medium!

I've met many pro athletes over the years and they can be not too friendly. I understand they are stalked for autographs most of the time. Retired athletes are either happy people recognize them or bitter.
All the musicians I've met have been very friendly. Seems they don't really get to meet fans as easily as athletes do.
I've only met a few actors, mostly from the original Star Trek TV show. I've heard some in New York are afraid of fans.

Yeah, for good reason(s). Look at John Hinkley, fer instance.

I suppose for most folks who make their living in the puplic eye, a certain amount of 'paparrazi'(sp?) attention is beneficial, or even *required* to stay famous. Likely, maintaining some balance (if possible) would be the challenge in that (keeping them away from your family, etc.). And subdued (invisible) security. I dunno 'bout you, but that seems too great a price to pay. And fame is one o' those things that are hard (or impossible) to reverse if you change your mind!

i remember when tantric came out with their first cd in 2001, i loved the whole cd and listened to it over and over til one day i saw an interview with the lead singer, he was so full of himself and was talking about what a wonderful rock star he was, it turned me off to their music immediately and i havent listened to it hardly any at all since then...

Frustation about an idol does it, turning you off. We identify ourselves with the lyrics, and the person behind the microphone does not correspond with our expectations. Very bad.,.
