What is the most overplayed rock song?
Let's say a <u>rock</u>* song that you, personally, or we, society, do not need to hear for a while, because we have heard it many times before.
At first, I would think: easy! Smash Mouth's “All Star” which you are probably humming right now. To your regret. But then, I realized that this song is still too recent. Surely there's been a song you haven't heard in ten years (or more) which is <i>still</i> overplayed. If I never hear Tom Cochrane's “Life is a Highway” again, I will have listened to it enough times. |

Hallelujah, Leonard Cohen or Jeff Buckley

I love Life is Highway, however I haven't heard the Cochrane version on the radio in years, only pussified country version.

Re: What is the most overplayed rock song?
Listen to 10 minutes of any Clear Channel classic rock station. Every song they play fits the bill.
I'd have to say Boston's Long Time/Foreplay or whatever the fuck it's called. Suicide inducing. |

And EVERY time I hear the opening to Hendrix's cover of "All Along The Watchtower", I get violent :mad: That fucking song...

In Australia when I worked in community radio, something like 20% of songs needed to be by an Australian artist. Is this what you are referring to? And does it affect commercial radio as well?

Oddly, I scarcely listen to the radio these days but some of the tracks that create the strongest nostalgic feelings are those from my childhood/teens that were on BBC Radio 1) playlists back then and which I may not even have especially enjoyed much at the time. Many wouldn't even count as "rock"! |

Total Eclipse of the Heart by Bonnie Tyler Footloose by Kenny Loggins |
