Pieces you keep coming back to them...... no matter how many years you know it....

For me:

It's Bernstein conducting the Vienna Philharmonic playing Beethoven 5th Symphony on Deutsche Grammophon.

I have had a copy of this since I was 7.
The 2nd movement is where it's at....

Sure, we come back to these gems precisely because they are brilliant compositions performed by masters. They are…eternal. There are always cool, new interpretation and new pieces, but how do you argue with the perfection left to us by the greats of classical, jazz, rock, and more??

I find that each time I go back to an old gem I hear MORE than I heard before. I hear with more informed ears and with a better mind. I can understand and appreciate these pieces more each time I hear them. They give to me gifts each time.

Why would you ever abandon music like that?

[Czyszy]

I regularly revisit Love is the Only Answer by TFK as well as Memento z Banalnym Tryptykiem by SBB. But I can't say there are any songs that I don't get tired of after listening to each one over and over again. The key is not to overplay your favorite songs.

[Splicer]

"Stardust We Are", TFK. Lots of lovely and emotional melodies and moments in that piece.

Anyone's Daughter - Adonis and Simon Says - Brother Where' You Bound. These two epics are filled with so much arrangement details and fun stuff going on, that I haven't grown tired of them despite hundreds of listens. xD

[auxfnx]

National Health self titled never gets old for me, along with Rascal Reporters - Happy Accidents.

Dude, you enjoy listening to your own music? xD That's the first time I've ever encountered something like this.

Do you mean Brother Where' You Bound by Supertramp? I don't think Simon Says has an album called Brother Where' You Bound.

No no haha that album came out before I was even born! I only joined the band after becoming a mega fan in 2019

That’s a song on Tardigrade. Their last and best album.

[boilk]

I can't really think of any, because I listen to so much new music. In fact, I can't remember the last classic, old song that I returned to. Huh.

Focus - Hamburger Concerto
Rick Wakeman - No Earthly Connection

This is an album I never get tired of:

[Rarebird]

Hard to say, but perhaps 'Maximising the audience' by Wim Mertens. It was my first album by him and played it to death after I bought it, starting with side one and returning to side one after having played side four.

Thanks for the tip! I found it on Spotify. Quite interesting!
