Welcome to Gaia! ::

Just because I highly doubt there is another thread like this, I'm just going to post without bothering to check any of the pages. xp

My question to you all is, have you ever taken part in Metal Marathons? By "Metal Marathon" I mean listening to full discographies, or whatever you have by a certain band within your personal collections.

On Wednesday, I listened to Dream Theater from 11:30 in the morning to 3:30 Thursday morning. It was part of a third attempt at listening to my entire Dream Theater collection, which spans 13 CDs. I had listened to five of their CDs the night before, and was resuming with Falling Into Infinity. I ended on Score, and immediately went to bed.

Yesterday, I did the same with my Fates Warning collection. Listening from about noontime to 2:30 this morning. 11 discs this time, as opposed to 19 for my Dream Theater collection (two of my CDs are 2-disc, two are 3-disc).

So, have any ever taken the time to do such a thing? What is the longest collection any of you have ever listened to?

Yea ive done that befeore I didn't know it waw called a "metal Marathon" I was just bored and lisatened to music all day. Actually thats all I ever do anymore.

Sounds like a really fun marathon. I've done two marathons in two days. The first one should have reduced my gray matter to mush.

S...SO...MUCH...TECHNI...CALITY!! I CAN'T TAKE IT ANY MORE!!!

That kinda thing, you now how it is rolleyes

Everything I own by Dream Theater. Lemme go down the list:

When Dream and Day Unite
Images and Words
Live at the Marquee
Awake
A Change of Seasons
Falling Into Infinity
Once in a LIVETime
Scenes from a Memory
Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence
Train of Thought
Live at Budokan
Octavarium
Score

That's 13 releases, and a total of 19 discs, since LIVETime and SDoIT have 2-CDs, and the Budokan and Score albums have 3. I listened to the first five on that list on Tuesday, then stopped to go to bed. I woke up at 11, and from 11:30 to 3:30 Thursday morning, I listened to the remaining Dream Theater CDs from my collection. That's...16 straight hours of Dream Theater.
