What is a band or bands that you used to love, but totally burned out on? Either because you listened to them so much that you got sick of em, or because your musical tastes changed?

I’ll start. I used to absolutely love Guns N’ Roses. On my 14th birthday, right before my freshman year of high school started, my sister gave me the “Appetite for Destruction” CD as a gift. It blew my mind. Kick-arse rock n roll record that was as raw and edgy as it gets. For several years, I was all about GNR. Axl Rose was the greatest singer ever, Slash was the definition of cool, etc.

But as the years passed, I found my obsession with them lessened by a great degree. It got to a point where anytime Sweet Child O Mine or Jungle comes on the radio or Amazon music, I change it. I just have come to not care for Axl’s voice at all anymore.

I still think of them as a great band, I just got really burned out and can’t jam much to em anymore.

RHCP

They were the go-to band at parties and in everybodys truck for catholic school br kids back when i was in hs from 05-09. It felt like you had no choice but to like them. Absolutely wore out their greatest hits album, so many drunk nights riding home from a party blaring Otherside. Also saw them live at hangout fest in 2012. Can hardly listen to them now.

Almost anything played on 100.1 classic rock FM. So many great bands from the 70s. But at this point I’ve heard the same songs so many times I have no need to ever hear them again as long as I live. I’m talking about Eagles, Fleetwood Mac, Rush

Replacements
Smithereens

I suppose it's my own fault. Through the up and down voting on my app, the algorithm just gives these to me too often.

RHCP has to be the best answer to this question. Give it Away is such a repetitive, terrible song

Metallica
Breaking Benjamin
Hell, even some instrumentalists like Joe Satriani new stuff all sounds the same

Eventually they just can't do anything innovative or new. Their sound is their sound and that's fine but I'd rather stick with the old stuff that made their sound.

Green Day - I loved American Idiot and Dookie, but some so gs were so overplayed that I needed roughly 8 years away from them to appreciate Green Day again.

Shinedown - this really applies to most post-grunge like Seether, Puddle of Mudd, Breaking Benjamin, Chevelle, etc. By the end of 2010, I was completely sick of most of those bands. To this day, I rarely listen to them despite having been a huge part of my teenage years.

Foreigner - commuting to Baton Rouge listening to Eagle 98.1 made me never want to hear “Urgent” or “Hot Blooded” ever again.

Allman Brothers Band (my first real fav band... refused to allow digital trading like the Dead, so their stuff got old after 20 yrs)

Gov't Mule (I grew to loathe Warren Haynes' voice)

GnR- post AFD

Phish/WSP - just don't care for either, but going to see WSP this summer for the first time since 2008.

Dave Matthews Band

I was a big fan in the Remember Two Things, Under the Table and Crash era.

Then I guess I got old cause his screaming fits made me lose it. Can't listen to any of it anymore.

Boston is probably #1. I loved what they were doing with their first album but got bored pretty quickly. Hurray for synthesizers! For those that believe it - Hurray for real instruments that are made to sound like synthesizers!

Overexposure may have a lot to do with, and the ones that follow. Eagles - Hotel California (whole album but title song especially were SO pretentious) got old FAST and I haven't listened to them since.

Springsteen was pretty great for the first few albums but I haven't listened to him in decades. Probably around Born in the USA which is predictable for me.

Billy Joel - my friends and I wore out Piano Man in the dorms. And stopped listening when he got famous.

Elton John was damned great through Yellow Brick Road, then fell off a cliff.
