It all gets listened to when it first comes home - how often it gets heard thereafter depends on how much I liked it the first (few) times out. I suspect quite a bit gets put on the back burner and forgotten until something triggers a renewed interest in it.
Listening practices
How much of your music collection have you actually listened to at least once?
I began to wonder this about my own collection since I usually find myself going back to the same recordings. I determined I have probably listened to about 2/3's of my music.
When I realized this I began a process of listening to the first LP in each section of my record rack. I plan to go through each rack like this. So far I have listened to several things for the first time.
In the last couple of days I listened to Tennessee Ernie Ford and Jack Jones, which were followed up by Alice Cooper. It was a strange combination, but I'm having fun.
