Is there a point where you just don't need any more music?

Best way to ease that bloated feeling is to go to gigs instead.
I was impressed by something Brian Sewell once said on the radio (in typically pompous, I'm-more-cultured-than-you fashion, bless im): he doesn't listen to recordings - he goes to hear the music he likes (classical, of course) played live, in circumstances where he can give it his full attention; if it doesn't require his full attention, it isn't worth listening to.

No.
If I spent every second of the rest of my life listening to different music I still wouldn't catch up with everything that has already been recorded that's worth listening to, and the bastards keep making more of the stuff. I find it heartbreaking to think of all the great music I will never get to hear.
I use a simple system to ensure I don't listen the the same stuff over and over again. Apart from the simple fact that I can't stand listening to the same stuff over and over again. There's a small CD rack that contains the albums that there is sometimes no substitute for, and the rest are in piles alongside it. The furthest pile from the stereo is the stuff I haven't listened to for longest.

I used to play albums all the time, I still have my record collection. tapes and Cd's, a choice of thousands of tracks but now I can never decide what to put on. I now listen to the radio most of the time. Radio Caroline suits me perfectly. They play most of my old albums !

I think I already have too much music. I am dealing with problem by slowly getting rid of it. Over the past few months I have listened to 40 of my least favourit albums and decided to get rid of them.
I am listening carefully to music that I never listened to before and realising just exactly I didn't listen to it before in nearly all cases.
