My motivation for starting that thread the other day about what inactive bands we all listen to the most was when I thought about how much more I listen to bands that are active, and how new releases often spark listening phases and whatnot.
To explain, in the past few months, I had barely listened to any Radiohead, but with that new song out this morning, I listened to them a lot today. And will likely delve back into a Radiohead listening phase again. Same thing happened recently with Neal Morse and Death Cab, both of whom released new albums in the past month plus.
On the flip side, those inactive bands never have new stuff come out anymore, so while I have moods where I want to listen to them, they don't have those new releases to spark listening to the old stuff, which is why they generally get listened to less than active bands.
Make sense? Anyone else experience similar things?
