What piece of music can you play over & over?

I second what Facten said. Those four mentioned are, IMHO, his best!

Easy, several...
Over the years, Ella, (anything ballady, as I liked her in that genre rather than the 'scat' singing, perhaps a blaspheme, but my feelings).
Of late...my 'gaydar' must be going off, because I think I have a 'mancrush' on Michael Buble. He is, quite simply the best male vocalist of the last, and maybe several generations, (my humble offering at least). He can sing, he can phrase, he is in pitch relentlessly, (though the latest digital equipment makes that a given).
Over the years, Cannonball and Nancy Wilson, circa, 1962, and also her coming out album.
Charlie Parker, for the complete mastery of the Alto Saxaphone, which I (tried) played. He was "THE MAN"
Chuck Mangione circa 1980 or so, when he was doing Children of Sanchez, and others. (Around the time of the olympics in Canada, for which he performed the 'Theme'?
Harry Chapin's ballads of the '70's.
Billy Joel in the 70's and 80's.
George Strait of any era.
Joanie Sommers then and now, regardless. (OK this is puerbty driven, so caveat emptor).
The Beachboys.
Beatles before 1969...
Renasseance (spelling?) Sherazade (spelling again) was a terrific album...and these are a few that I loved.
Anyone?????

I listen to different music.

As for the operas, recent operas I was stuck on are Turnadot and aftet that one I switched to Shostakovich's Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk. Speaking of a complex opera. Try this one. One of my favorite.

One other factor is the paitience level of the listener. A second might be the amount of dispoasable time, perhaps.

I simply can not sit for hours on end listening to the same exact album or track... regardless the content... regardless the attachment I have to it.

The only way I'll allow such events are as 'background' filler, or like when breaking in gear.

In my case, it's not the music, it's me. I can listen and do listen to things over and over again.... just not consequetively... over and over ad infinitum.

I have and therre is, simply too much good music to hear that I'd consume hours on end with the exact same content. If it were so, and or a routine thing, I believe professional help is in order... were it myself.

I listen to my iPod at work. This is when I get to hear part of my music collection I don't normally play a lot.
If I like something I can listen to it over and over while I'm working. No I do not sit and listen to the same thing at home...there is simply no time.
