Granted I'm listening to other bands and artists but these are the ones that got me into music in the first place. My older brother LOVES Hendrix but he doesn't seem to play him that much either. Is it just me or do you notice yourselves listening less and less to your favorites?

I love your musical referrences - The Beatles and The Partridge Family are my earliest influences as a kid. Clapton and Costello came later on. There is not enough time in the world for me to listen to everything I want to. I have a massive 30-year collection of music. I have about ten or so artists that I tend to listen to periodically....the rest I listen to when I'm reminded of them...i.e. references in the media, hearing a song on the radio etc...
As an avid collector...sometimes I'll buy cds just to add or complete an artist's catalog. I may not even listen to them until they pass by my radar. I consider my collection to be a like a library: I may not listen to a cd for years, but when I'm the "zone" of a particular artist, I'm really happy that I can explore, relive and discover things within the bulk of their work.
