Songs I Never Need to Hear Again

You know the songs: the ones that are played on classic rock radio over...and over...and over. The same songs get into the rotation and never seem to leave. Usually, a great song is run into the ground.

So, here is my list of songs that I never need to hear again. This doesn't mean I think the song sucks...just that I can't really take it anymore without the grave desire to gouge my own eyeballs out with a spoon.

AC/DC - "You Shook Me All Night Long"

The Eagles - "Hotel California"

George Thorogood - "Bad To The Bone"

Golden Earring (or White Lion) - "Radar Love"

The Rolling Stones - "Angie"

Tom Petty - "Refugee"

And lately...as much as I hate to admit:

Poison - "Talk Dirty to Me." The Boneyard has absolutely played the living hell out of this song. It's getting to the point where I click the dial when I see this song pop on the display. Poison has a fairly deep catalog - play something else!

Do you agree with my list of overplayed songs? Give me your list.

If they just quit playing all that Sinatra music...

..wait a Count Basie minute. I don't hear that on the radio. I don't listen that often to the radio. Just enough to hear a couple songs until most of the songs mentioned here is played and then I'm back to listening to "Little Ole Wine Drinker Me" by Dean Martin or some Miles Davis.

It's ironic to hear a song you grew up listening to and loving just to flip the dial when it comes on because it just hurts your head to listen to it again.

"And when they ask, "Who's the fool in the corner, crying?" I'll say, "Little old wine drinker, me."

i disagree with most of your list allyson. i would say most 70s hard rock has been played to death. this newer crap of nickleback, etc is horrible. metallica, i've heard stations that did a mandatory metallica half hour every day and guess what? almost always the same songs every day and never the old stuff. i never get tired of listening to rush, even if the stations do play only a select few songs. one thing is that i really don't listen to much radio anymore, i play cds. don't have XM or Sirius so no loss to me. i will say that my 1 year old loves it when i turn the tv on and metal mania is on vh1. he likes to rock.

In my area I would say it has to be "What I Like About You" by the Romantics. It seems like I can never scan the radio without coming across that song being played.

i agree with your list...and i add Metallica – Nothing Else Matters. It is not bad song, but it makes me crazy...

About radio... I live in Czech Republic (small land in Europe). There are a little people, who love glam or hard rock, so we haven't good radio. It doesn't mean, that we haven't got radio, but they play only disko or hip-hop and horrible pop, you know...

sorry for my eglish :-X
