Most Overplayed Songs of All Time (metal, pop, punk, cover)

Though I love Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Hendrix and a lot of radio friendly artists I know that some people hate these artists because of their overexposure. But I don't listen to the radio often enough that overplaying of music I like ruins it for me. It is however an issue when its something I hate.

If its a modern rock/pop station or adult contemporary, chances are its overplayed.

All I ever listen to on the radio nowadays aside from the local jazz and classical stations are the classic rock stations and this one hard rock station.

Some "classic" rock songs I hate that are unfortunately radio staples.

American Band - Grand Funk Railroad... Not a good one unfortunately.
Journey - Seperate Ways... I can tollerate Journeys other songs, just not this one.
Eddie Money - Two Tickets to Paradise... Barf.
Styx - Blue Collar Man... I actually like some Styx, but this song is horrible on many levels.
The Guess Who - American Woman... Not as bad as the Lenny Kravitz cover though.
Asia - The Heat of the Moment... Some of the greatest prog musicians of the 70s unite to create... THIS?
Foreigner - ANYTHING BY THEM

Sweet Home Alabama by Lynyrd Skynyrd. That song torments me.

Hmm, I hear Chapagne Supernova alot more that Wonderwall.

Umm...people have neglected to mention every Linkin Park song...I'm so sick of fucking hearing Shadow of Today...it's a horrible song that doesn't need to be played every 15 minutes..it's just ridiculous.

anything by Jack Johnson

my friend constantly plays his music, I never liked it much to begin with but now have an inferno of absolute hatred burning within me anytime I hear Jack Johnson. I don't really listen to the radio or watch music stations, so it's mainly stuff my friends overplay that bother me if at all.

yeah, any nickelback song is overplayed because they suck. I think 'rock star' is rediculously overplayed, but the music video is pretty good.

You know instead of just picking out certain bands, this is the best way of putting it.

Anything thats post grunge, pop punk or nu metal.
