Well, I'm young at heart.

So, the thing I've always wondered is how you metal/classic rock guys stay into that music for so long. I was really into classic stuff like you in HS (Zep, Alice Cooper, Deep Purple, etc. I was like a sponge) but, because I can't do anything without having music playing, I have fallen in love with and subsequently gotten completely sick of nearly every classic rock band that ever existed. I still appreciate a lot of those old bands for what they were, but I can't listen to them much anymore. How are you still able to listen to them after so many years? I'm constantly looking for something fresh.

I get bored pretty quickly too and switch around a lot. It doesn't mean that I dislike the old songs; I just want to listen to something new (to me) too. Large capacity iPods were a godsend. I have about 11,000 songs on mine and only listen on random. I never listen to albums anymore.

I thought I had died and gone to heaven when I got my first 5 disc CD changer.

See, I listen to full albums. But I always listen to them on random shuffle. So I never listen to the same artist twice in a row.

I start getting itchy 3 or 4 songs into an album and want to hear something else.

The only exception to that is Pink Floyd. Some of their albums just sound weird on random (The Wall).

See I have to use the album as a desensitization thing. It's difficult for me to go from Megadeth to The Beatles in just one song. I need an entire album to work out whatever mood I'm in...

That's funny. That's exactly why I do like it. You never know what you'll get. If the song doesn't fit my mood, I just hit skip.

I never hit skip, too lazy.

At home I typically don't (wish iPod had a remote) but I do in the car. If a song comes up that I don't care for, I give it three stars and then remove all three star songs later when I update the iPod. Awesome songs are given four stars so that I can have a playlist of those songs across artists and genres.
