what do you guys feel are the most overplayed rock songs or bands in general? mine would be:

Song: Smells Like Teen Spirit

Band: Led Zeppelin (awesome rock band but pretty much ever single song is played to death)

If it's currently on a commercial label, it's overplayed. All of it. It's gotten so bad on some stations that I have actually predicted the next song on thier oft repeated playlists. :(

welcome to the jungle... every stadium, every 80's metal program, TOO MUCH!
second place: crazy train... love ozzy, great song... just too much!

i guess most over played group would be any of the generic crap rock bands around now that the mass media is trying to shove down our throats. Pick any of them, they all sound and look the same. soulless, heartless crap rock.

Most overplayed band Creed. They were just not worth all of the attention.

yea honestly, to everyone who says Zeppelin is overrated: i'm tired of hearing it. please consider withdrawing your remarks until you get educated. most people who say crap like that only know the same old stuff that gets played on the radio over and over again. all the popped-collar toolbags hanging out at happy hour think they know music because they know "stairway" or "black dog". of course you're gonna be sick of it, you hear the same old songs day in day out, and in the process, you lose any interest in hearing what else they offer, which is very unfair. many people have no idea how truly awesome these guys were as musicians.

ever hear...
Down By the Seaside?
In the Evening?
Carouselambra?
Out on the Tiles?
Wanton Song?
Lemon Song?
Battle of Evermore?
Black Mountain Side?
Travelin Riverside Blues?
Woman with long black curly hair? (i think i got that worded wrong)
Boogie with Stu?
I Gotta Move?
The Crunge?
I'm gonna Crawl?
Rain Song?
Tea for One?
Achilles Last Stand?
Royal Orleans?
The Crunge?
Your Time is Gonna Come?


there's plenty more. if you answered "No" to at least 50% of the above, then kindly Shut Up. thanks

There's a "Classic Rock" (oxymoron?) station in SoCal that cannot go more than 2 hours without playing "Purple Haze".

I lived through the era, and here's what we have to admit folks (and I'm guessing some of you will need an intervention). That song just plain su....aspirates canal water. If Hendrix was alive today, I believe he'd tell us all to get a life and drop the "Haze" idolatry.

Running neck-and-neck: "There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold
And she's buying.............AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHGGGGHH"....the horror......the horror..........................

Wow I cant remember ever hearing "out on the Tiles" on the radio, Btw, I think the lemon song is one of their best, even though its "killing floor"

It would suit me just fine if I never heard "Stairway to Heaven" again.

And even though I'm a big Jethro Tull fan, the same goes for "Aqualung" and "Locomotive Breath."
