Most Annoyingly OVERPLAYED Song of all time

Poll question: Most Annoyingly OVERPLAYED Song of all time

Most Annoyingly OVERPLAYED Song of all time.

You don't have to dislike the song - Just a song that you've heard so damn much that you would just as soon not hear it played on the radio again, EVER.

[Arugula Latte]

1. For some reason, whenever I flip the radio dial around, I hear

that John Mellancamp song "Small Town." You know, "I was born in a small town. I learned to walk in a small town. I took my first crap in a small town ..." :grr:

[Science Of Myth]

54. That one gets played alot in my area too

along with "Up On Cripple Creek" and


Cheesburger in Paradise

[LSdemocrat]

2. U2 is possibly the most over played band over the past 25 years

I'd probably like their music if radio stations and other media weren't playing their stuff constantly.

[Cush]

3. agree

[Yollam]

7. I'm Just grateful they don't overplay "In the Name of Love"

...since it's one of my favorites. I basically like U2, but agree they are way overplayed.

Same with Eurythmics. I love them, love Annie Lennox, but if I never hear "Sweet Dreams" or "Why" again, it will be too soon.

[Ron Mexico]

13. I respectfully beg to differ

I think "In the Name of Love" is overplayed, and I don't dislike the song myself. I guess the playlists in our respective cities of residence differ from each other.

[Yollam]

16. Must be.

Funny, I thought all the radio stations were basically all in one closet in LA by this point...

At least the stations are differentiated a bit by region.


But It's sad that they never play songs from the past that weren't in the top ten...

[ProfessorGAC]

38. Oh That's Ridiculous!

That stuff won't fit in one closet. Two closets at least. Maybe even a small bedroom.

4. ANYTHING by Bob Seger or Boston

No thank you

[MissMillie]

6. I'm w/ you on the Bob Seger

but I pretty much feel the same way about Lynard Skynard too.


and Tom Petty (though I could listen to the Willbury's all day long).

[BlueJazz]

57. I'm with you, Underpants. Bob Segar always sounds like he's...

..trying to take a HUGE Dump.

OOOOOOOOUUUUUGHHHHH!!..nightdreams...

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

68. MORE THAN A FEELIN!!!!

You know you want to sing it. Come on. I've got you trapped now!!! :evilgrin:

[arwalden]

5. The Lee Greenwood Song (Proud To Be An American) BARF!!

[Yollam]

8. Geez, where do you live?

I never hear that "song" here in SF.

[cynatnite]

42. I liked it when it first came out...

It was nice, but then after that...it got so freaking old and I'm sick of it.

[medeak]

43. he's a friend of my brother.....amazing story

they were appearing in Vegas together and Texas oilman was in audience and said he would subsidize him to write music... and thus the song.
He's a good guy and very talented in real life... not like his commercial self.

A red neck version of Eric Clapton being discovered

[medeak]

45. am tiring of "doncha wish your girlfriend was hot like me"

via baby dolls or whoever they are...some manufactured group.

[LostinVA]

51. Pussycat Dolls... I'm ashamed I know that...

But, I ONLY know that because of "Blow Out" on Bravo. I swear. Gay-Jonathan's sister is in the group, remember.

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

9. Tie between the two Thin Shrieking Ladies From Hell -nt

[LaraMN]

10. When I worked in a drugstore, I swear to god, they must have had their

music tuned to some All-Gloria-Estefan-All-The-Time station. It was maddening.

"One.two.three.four. Come on baby say you love me. Five.six.seven ti-imes..."

[Yollam]

14. Eight. Nine. Ten. Eleven.

I'm just gonna keep on countin' until you go insaa~ane!

LOL.

[LaraMN]

22. Yep. That'd be the one.

Well, one of them, anyway. I should probably be an honorary Cuban, after working that job for two years.

[Tom_Foolery]

11. Right now it's Carrie Underwood's "Jesus, Take the Wheel" n/t

[Arugula Latte]

33. I prefer "Jesus, Do My Lube Job."

*snark*

[Ron Mexico]

12. Stairway to Heaven, Rock & Roll, Dream On, Don't Fear the Reaper,

that fucking ballad from the Titanic movie, Iron Man...I could spend the rest of my day on this list.

[flvegan]

15. "Arms Wide Open" by Creed

I think I just threw up in my mouth a little.

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

69. If that song was played once, it would have been overplayed.

[SiobhanClancy]

17. Horse With No Name

the first time I heard it,it was overplayed:( Even though it's ancient..I still hear it far too often.

[Bridget Burke]

20. Yes--a 3rd rate Neil Young imitation.

Hearing it once was too much.

From this list, I'll go with Whitney Houston's tune. (Actually, Dolly Parton wrote it--but Dolly sings it better.)

[Nutmegger]

18. Louis Armstrong - What a Wonderful World

Good song, just overplayed way too many times.

[terrya]

19. Whitney "I'm a diva, DAMMIT" Houston mutilating...

"I Will Always Love You". God, that's horribly annoying...and overplayed.

[Left Is Write]

23. And mutilate it she does!

[ProfessorGAC]

41. She Mutilates THAT Song?!?!?

How does that differ from the mutilation of any song, that she calls singing? Her and Celine are clueless on how to use their terrific gifts. (Mariah too!) Great voices. Lousy singers.
The Professor

[jakefrep]

46. "King of Wishful Thinking"

At least it is at my local radio station.

[CBHagman]

55. "AND I-YEE-I-YEE-I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU-HOO-OO"

Actually, you mustn't forget the equally appalling "Didn't We Almost Have It All."

But I do like "I Want to Dance with Somebody."

[HughBeaumont]

71. EVERY damned song Crackho Houston sings is an abomination to pop.

Just wretched interpretations. Overwankish, overpaid and makes you want to stick a meat thermometer up your nostrils to end the pain.

[Left Is Write]

21. The most overplayed song of all time ever: Stairway To Heaven

I've got nothing against Led Zeppelin. In fact, I LOVE Led Zeppelin. But "Stairway To Heaven" need not be played on the radio ever again.

[Strong Atheist]

64. Agreed. nt.

[RebelOne]

24. The pina colada song. When that was popular,

I think it was played every half hour on the radio.

[chookie]

25. "Bad Company"

I hate this stupid song and find it incomprehensible that it must be played several times a day. Who likes to listen to this shit?

[Yollam]

27. Is that the one with the chorus "Takin' Care of Business"?

That one's way overplayed too, very annoying.

[RevolutionaryActs]

26. I Will Always Love You or My Heart Will Go On?...

:dilemma:

[Blue Belle]

28. "Don't worry... Be Happy!"

That's a song that was wayyy overplayed.

[Beaverhausen]

29. "Walking on Sunshine"

I think there is a law that that song gets on the soundtrack of every film ever made, not to mention most commercials.

[azmouse]

30. Start Me Up by The Rolling Stones

One time I was driving in my car, I had just left my home and the song was on the radio. A few minutes later the same station was playing it once more and by the time I reached my destination it was on the radio AGAIN! Three times in about 45 min on the same station! :grr:

[Rob H.]

31. "My Heart Will Go On"

Back when it was super-popular, I was on my way to work one morning flipping around between different radio stations and it was on three stations at the same time!

I hope to never hear that song or "I Will Always Love You" (note to Whitney: yelling at the top of your lungs IS NOT SINGING!) ever again. :grr:

[no name no slogan]

32. Loverboy -- "Workin' for the Weekend"

Why must every cock-rock station in the country play that insipid song at 5:00 PM every Friday?

[GreenPartyVoter]

34. Every prom I ever went to had "Stairway to Heaven" at least once

[begin_within]

35. Clear Channel plays "You Can't Always Get What You Want" every 3 seconds.

[Rowdyboy]

36. Most of you are too young to remember, but in 1969 when "Butch Cassidy

and the Sundance Kid" came out, most radio stations in America switched to a format of all "Raindrops Keep Fallin' on my Head" 24/7 for the next 8-10 months.

Anytime, anywhere you turned on a radio those stupid words kept blaring out at you over and over and over and over.

Never again, my friend, never again.

[Left Is Write]

37. They kept playing it over and over until about 1974.

[RebelOne]

63. I remember. n/t

[cynatnite]

39. Achy Breaky Heart...

that song was played everywhere I went it seemed like it. I hate it..hate it...hate it! I never ever want to hear that horrid song again.

[swag]

40. "Amazing Grace" on bagpipes.

[cynatnite]

44. 'Feelings'...I remember that one getting overplayed quite a bit n/t

[Burma Jones]

47. Unchained Melody - Righteous Brothers

Too Much air time.....

[Oeditpus Rex]

48. The Star Spangled Fucking Banner

Exactly why must this be played before the start of virtually every American sporting event?

[LostinVA]

49. STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN

[EstimatedProphet]

50. Sheryl Crow-"All I Wanna Do"

When that came out it was like all the radio stations were converted to an "All I Wanna Do" format. Shame really, I like the song. I didn't need to have it killed for me.

[SaveElmer]

52. Rapper's Delight...ugh

That "song" makes my skin crawl!!!

[Radical Activist]

53. I used to love Sweet Home Alabama

Until I started hearing it in a dozen movie soundtracks and a KFC commercial. The local classic rock station doesn't seem to know that Skynyrd had other songs besides that and Free Bird. ugh

[6000eliot]

56. "Stairway to Heaven" and "Free Bird"

But of the two, "Free Bird" is the worst, because it has that endless triple guitar solo at the end.

[NMMNG]

58. Anything by Kelly Clarkson

It's not that she's a hideous singer, it's just that every time she comes out with something they play it like every hour for months. :banghead:

[Robeson]

59. In the 70's, "Stairway to Heaven" was played on FM every hour,....

...on the hour, everday, 24/7, 365 days a year.

[mykpart]

60. "You Light Up My Life"

far and away the most overplayed, even if it goes back to the 70s. Also, I believe it was the only song Debby Boone ever sang, and it was overplayed on TV too!

[Lucy - Claire]

61. Robbie Williams - Angels.....

I like the song but it is played to death in the UK. Also PCD - Stick Wit U or Don't Cha, Coldplay - The Speed of Sound,
Jmaes Blunt - You're Beautiful.

I voted for Whitney Housten - I will always love you.:eyes:

[njdemocrat106]

62. "The Joker" by Steve Miller

I've nothing against Miller; it's just that "The Joker" is beyond overplayed and is nowhere near being one of his best songs.

[Bassic]

65. Stairway to heaven!

God, I wish they'd stop playing that and started to play stuff from other albums than Led Zeppelin 4

[Mad_Dem_X]

70. Stairway To Heaven and Hotel California!

If I never hear either of those songs again I will die happy.

[Bassic]

72. I agree completely. nt

[noonwitch]

66. Renegade by Styx

It was a good song until they played it to death.

[Theres-a]

67. I hope you'll daaaaaaance

By whoever it was.
