I think this is a case of 'famous last words'. I recently mentioned to Fergus in his thread that, although I don't mind Holst's Planet Suite, it has suffered from repeated exposure to such a degree that I'd be quite happy not to hear it again, for sometime. So much for that ideal...
I have recently, inadvertently landed myself with THREE versions of said work which I haven't heard... so here comes 'Mars':
Holst: The Planets: Yan Pascal Tortelier/ BBC Philharmonic
