I've listened to pretty much nothing else but the Beach Boys for the last 5 months, much to my other half's annoyance

I think many people go on a kick; sometimes it lasts for a few weeks, sometimes for months. I'm pretty happy with my current kick, it's giving me the chance to revisit albums I'd not listened to in a few years. However much I love a particular band there's always times when I don't listen to them for ages, then go back to them with fresh ears. Funny how you seem to hear something new every time you go back.
