Even so, something like Tristan and Isolde I don't think I've sat through it its entireity more than once. Actually, with a lot of classical things, y'know how they stick different pieces on one CD? Well, I generally need a break before listening to the different pieces.
Something like Metal Machine Music is pretty pointless to listen to in its entireity, which is why it's a much better album on vinyl. Same with any album, really. If it's two (+) LPs, I can't listen to them all in one sitting.
I managed to get through 6 CDs of the TG+ boxset in one sitting. There are plans afoot to listen to the entireity of the Ring in one day. Mmm. Musical masochism.

Glice, the sixteen hours is worth it, even more so if you get the opportunity to see it live. Although it was split over four nights when i saw it.
