To listen or not to listen...

I have secretly kept a few Sisters songs hidden from myself (well, in an unused map) to keep a few to surprise myself with when I know all others thoroughly. Now I've been wondering; is this any good, and if I should keep them hidden, how long should I wait before starting to listen to them? Thanks in advance.

Listen to them all, imprint them on your brain and let them soundtrack your life
Say YES to excess !

You could get hit by a bus tomorrow. You don't want your last thoughts to be "oh feck, I never got to listen to those songs", do you?
Go for it!

I kept Bury Me Deep totally unlistened-to until I bought the single, and made it the last officially released track I'd ever not heard in any version.
It was worth it.

oooh but Bury was good, it really touched me
Btw, "Say yes to excess" sounds great

Can this be the title of the next tour?
And (back on topic), listen to them all, endlessly...

I remember when I first heard TSOM, they sounded really strange to me and there seemed to be what I can only describe as a vast space within all of their songs. That disappeared with subsequent listens, although I wish it hadn't.

Oh, I'm not saying it wasn't. It's one of the few TSOM tracks I really enjoy listening to, so I'm glad I kept it until last.

To ration the Sisters makes even less sense than keeping a bar of chocolate in the fridge and only eating one square per day. You know you want to...

The Sisters get white and chalky when cold?
Dole out new stuff when you sufficiently appreciate the current batch, lest the individual characteristics become diluted. Or just get recordings and never listen to them; that happens often in some sections areounf here.

OMG! I did exactly that for several years! I had the vinyl for about 5 years before I listened to it. I thought it made me a bit weird, now I feel better!

Well, emma says:
The answer, as always, lies within the question.
If you ask the question, the answer is already there.
And you know that the answer in this case is YES.

too bad YES does not specify whether you mean I should or should not listen to them, and if I should keep them hidden as I interprete your YES, it does not say for how long

I could never find a reason for myself not to listen.
Sounds like SM.

My aim was just to make you realise that there's one huge YES screaming out of your question.
Which songs are they, exactly?
