These are the songs, that might have been good, but the local program directors went overboard:mad:
Sweet Home Alabama
Born to be Wild
Magic Carpet Ride
Kashmir
Tom Sawyer
Limelight
C'mon Feel the Noise(QR)
Bohemian Rhapsody
We Will Rock You/ We Are The Champions
Don't Fear the Reaper
That's all for now, but you get the idea:rolleyes:

Great list obie. I'd add a few :
Bad to the Bone
Stairway to Heaven
Hotel California
And for anyone who went to college at the same time I did, anything by Sublime.If you will it, dude, it is no dream. -
I concur Obione. A couple more:
Freebird
Paranoid
You Shook Me All Night Long
Train Kept' a Rollin (Aerosmith)
I've always loved Paranoid and Train Kept a Rollin - wish they wouldn't play them so much though.Parasound P5 Pre

'Hodisafah' by Steeley Dan. I DON'T FRIGGIN CARE if I spelled it wrong!
I hate that song!I refuse to argue with idiots, because people can't tell the DIFFERENCE! -
It has to be "Happy Birthday". People in their 30's-80's come into my restaurant and their friends insist on singing happy birthday to them like they're 5 friggin years old. How embarrassing. Oh yeah, and the song sucks too lol."They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety."
Benjamin Franklin, February 17th, 1775.

Yep - hate that song. Haven't thought of it once since moving here 6 years ago. Thanks for that XCapri.Some old time Canadians will remember "Snow Bird" by Ann Murray being played ad nauseum because of Canadian content rules.

I NEVER listen Classic Rock on the radio...mainly because I have nearly every classic rock album I want on LP or CD. I only listen to them when I want. I will never tire of either one.

Keep it up guys...you are creating a great playlist for the afternoon by the pool. Many of these songs get overplayed because for the most part they are good...and like I said...I don't listen to Classic Rock on the radio so this is some stuff I haven't listened to in a while."Just because youre offended doesnt mean youre right." - Ricky Gervais

Question: How many drunk sorority girl sing-a-longs to Sublime happened at EVERY party I attended in college?
Answer: One too many.I never had it like this where I grew up. But I send my kids here because the fact is you go to one of the best schools in the country: Rushmore. Now, for some of you it doesn't matter. You were born rich and you're going to stay rich. But here's my advice to the rest of you: Take dead aim on the rich boys. Get them in the crosshairs and take them down. Just remember, they can buy anything but they can't buy backbone. Don't let them forget it. Thank you.Herman Blume - Rushmore -

+1 on that Shack. I've got them all too and try to avoid Classic Rock radio. Besides, these songs are best played in the context of their entire album.
Nevertheless, when I do stumble upon a classic rock station on the radio and "Freebird" is playing, I cringe.Parasound P5 Pre

Answer: One too many.
This isn't always a bad thing. I play guitar and sing, and I know numerous Sublime songs. When you're the one LEADING the drunk girls in the sing-a-long...it can really work out for your benefit. It's kind of like a "get your pick of the litter" deal at times. Drunk girls love hearing someone play Sublime songs...this is something that I've figured out over time.
Plus, Sublime kicks ****.
I'll throw in Touch of Grey and Truckin' by the Grateful Dead. Both are good songs, but I've heard them both too many damn times. Like a Rolling Stone by Bob Dylan. Again, it's a great song, but I've heard it too many times.The nirvana inducer-

I'll throw in Yellow Submarine. I've heard it so often I'm not sure I'll ever enjoy listening to it ever again.
Also, Love me Tender (Elvis).Alea jacta est! -

I gave my love a chicken

I've always told my wife I was going to make a CD of the biggest whip songs of all time. It would probably sell like hot cakes. I'm going off subject a little here as these songs aren't so much overplayed as they just whip me to death.

Yes, after one has heard a song a few times it does become old. Having been around in the 60s and 70s, hearing, and buying, most of those songs/albums when they were released has burnt them into my brain. If I never hear any of them again it will be to soon. There is plenty of other music out there to experience without having to waste time listening to the same song, over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over.....
On the other hand, they were good tunes at the time, and Classic Rock radio stations help expose new listeners to these old songs. Who knows, maybe a new listener will turn out to be another Jack White, and actually create some new rock music.Lumin X1 file player, Westminster Labs interconnect cable
