Posted this question on r/aspergirls some time back and I’d like to hear what users on Lemmy have to say.

Do you have a favourite song you don’t listen to a lot? For me, I can’t listen to mine regularly because I don’t want to “wear it out” and make it lose its emotional effect on me; I want to be blown away every time I hear it. It’s a rock song as well, and because of that I don’t want to listen to it much because it can be overstimulating as the instrumental is heavy (in my opinion). I reserve the song for special moments or moments I know I can listen to it better and truly appreciate what a masterpiece it is.

Anybody else feel the same way?

    I agree a lot with this sentiment. I think my favourite piece of music to sit down and listen through is The Wall (Pink Floyd, 80 minutes).

    I have it on vinyl and it takes effort to set up the amp and get it going. But also, I feel like it adds to the experience. The warmth, crackling and popping all make my brain happy. Plus it has crescendos timed with when you have to stop and flip or change the vinyl.
