I went through a tough divorce when that song came out. It played at every club, I went to with my two buddies, who were also getting divorced. To this day, I can't listen to that song without hearing the chorus that we the made up. My roommate and my best friend, got me through a very heartbreaking time in my life. We shared long talks, a few tears, some really big laughs, good times, drinks, played music together and even traded dates a few times. Whoa! I'm half way there Whoa! I don't fucking care! Take my wife, I hate her, I swear Woah! I don't fucking care! RIP, Brian. You were like a brother to me. Cheers to the good times, bro.
This is like going to 5 consecutive weddings on a Saturday I would rather be watching a baseball game. By the time they got to the last song "One Less Lonely Person In The World" I was hoping it was a murder-suicide song. Nope, just another icky love song. Air Supply Greatest Hits album review. I memorized that back in the 1980's. Minneapolis Tribune.
I used to work for a company that put on weddings. It was the rare DJ that did not play "Don't Stop Believing". It happened so consistently, that we'd place bets on when the DJ would
I am a huge lifelong Journey fan. But, there are so many incredibly great tunes by them. Even pre- Steve Perry era. Go deep and play something like, LOOK INTO THE FUTURE. It is awesome!!
There's a reason I always listen to classic rock but just change to a different station when certain songs come on. It's not like classic rock songs are the only ones overplayed. Listen to any "Top 40" stations recently? lol
Classic Rock radio can be good if they are doing "vinyl sides," because then you get to hear stuff that isn't played to death or even played at all on the radio.
@@trainguy7276 They had a radio station here in Los Angeles that was doing that. 100.3 The Sound. They are no more, but I loved when they would do vinyl sides. You got to hear such good stuff and stuff that you never knew even existed.
I just watched this sitting in a supermarket car park waiting for the wife . When I finished watching I put the radio on and Jump by Van Halen came on . How apt 😂😂😂
Pete you are brilliant! I was laughing myself silly with this rant. That phrase you consistently use: "enough already." Priceless. All those indignant phrases you use, fabulous. And finally, to hear the word "turds" was a real blast from the past. Keep up the rants and all the rest of your fantastic videos. Congratulations from a frequent British watcher!
WJ: I'm 55. When I was in high school and in my 20's the rock stations were "AOR"; Album Oriented Radio'. You heard album tracks, B sides, live recordings. It was a golden time for rock. Now the stations are assigned frequencies based on the # of songs in their play lists; 97.3 FM has 97 songs that they play over and OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER. 💥🔥(Me blowing up the radio.)
Agreed, I've always had this dream of starting a classic rock radio station that played nothing but forgotten gems and deep cuts. So many great songs that have been buried while we hear the same worn out boring songs over and over every day.
Somebody destroyed "Stairway to Heaven" for me during my military service. He played it like twenty times every day for like three months.....and I hate him for it.
Smoke on the water Paranoid You really got me Sailing Everything I do I do it for you My Generation Almost Ny Oasis song Another brick in the wall Now here are 2 done to death that I still love Dont fear the reaper and Carry on my wayward son .

I know right, why is that the popular pink floyd song, I like it but there are about 30 other pink floyd songs I think is wayyyyyy better than another bick in the wall.
Oh, I forgot UB-40. How many times did we listen to "Red Red Wine", considering that it was actually a cover? Bear in mind that some UB-40 overplayed songs are actually covers.
Don't mind a bit of UB40, I'm sick of Red Red Wine but some of their original reggae stuff ain't too bad. Their version of Can't help falling in love is dope. Sure overplayed but I still enjoy it

"I'll Be There for You" from Bon Jovi. Some of the worst lyrics ever written ("When you breathe I want to be the air for you." "When you get drunk I'll be the wine." ).
Eagles "Hotel California" has to be up there. I once went to Amsterdam and stayed at a place called Hotel California. They played it morning, noon and night, back to back to the point that it just became white noise. The only good thing about that weekend was that when I checked out, I actually left.

Re: 'Come On Eileen'. Picture me placing a five pound chunk of C-4 (plastic explosives) on top of the radio and leaving the room. Leaving the room in a hurry...
"We built this city" plays at my work, it's such a bland monotone track, all i can think of while i hear that song at work is 'yeah, you built the city on rock n roll, but that's not very structurally sound'.
"Let's Dance" by the mighty David Bowie, for god's sake play "Scary Monsters" " I'm Afraid of Americans" "Moonage Daydream" or ANYTHING. The Actor had MANY MANY much better songs.
@@waterglas21 "Let's Dance" is fantastic as a pop record for Bowie. I love it for that. "Scary Monsters" might be my fave. Or "Low".. So many great records. "Ziggy Stardust" in top 3. Such great work.
I've listened to every Bowie album, and please tell me I'm not alone in saying that "Let's Dance" is not even a great album in general. Let's Dance is my least favorite David Bowie hit, both song and album.
...... Or "Sultans of Swing," by Dire Straits, "Black Dog," by Led Zeppelin, or, "Somebody To Love," by Queen. Now.... I'm a huge fan of Queen and love that song, but even Freddie Mercury, if he was still alive, would ask these classic rock stations, "you _do_ know I wrote other stuff, right?"
@@peace__777 "Sultans of Swing" is one song that I could listen to multiple times every day. It has qualities the other songs you mentioned don't seem to have. The characterization and storytelling, sheer beauty of the music, Knopfler's taste and technique, the unsentimental nostalgia it conjures for a place and time, as a well as a tincture of je ne sais quoi. I love the song and feel as if I grow a bit as a person every time I hear it. What pisses me off about the song is that I only hear it at work these days and it always gets cut off by an in-house ad for glazed donuts or toilet paper.
Massive fan, that I am of Floyd, I have to agree. The saving grace is the solo. Another Floyd song I can do without is Comfortably numb. If I hear someone else, doing their version of this song, well I might not be responsible for my actions.
Those are good ones, except now the latter two are going through my head back and forth, which isn't good. "Sweet Caroline" might actually get it for a song I'd be tempted to even pay a decent sum foe the privilege of never having to hear it ever again.
From a UK perspective. Stairway to heaven, Bohemian rhapsody, Imagine. (The 1 2 3 of ANY poll of the bestest songs EVER ). Sweet child o...no please stop. Free bird. Freak off! Sweet home Alabama, Californication, Hotel..you know the one. Come on Eileen.....bah will end it there as there are so many. That's part of why I gave up on radio years ago. Thank god for smart phones and unlimited data plans.
Not forgetting; Layla All right now Paranoid Smoke on the water Jump American pie And many many more........ Put them all on a Ronco/K-tel best of album, then burn it🔥
Satisfaction - Stones Anything from the Eagles, particularly "Hotel California" Life's Been Good - Joe Walsh Brown Eyed Girl- Van Morrison Dancing in the Dark - Springsteen Brandy - Looking Glass Renegade - Styx
Good one's. Agree with the Eagles. I used to like them but all of their biggest hits have been played to death and they don't have a whole lot of great deep cuts.
Final Countdown has a great guitar solo but I can't get through the whole thing because of that annoying repetitive synthesizer riff. Jack and Diane is a good pick - I hate that "little diddy". I still listen to Moving Pictures quite a bit but I always skip Tom Sawyer. Funny because that was the song that first got me hooked on Rush.
Pour Some Sugar On Me is one of the better songs from Hysteria, but it is so overplayed and their first three albums and their EP from 1979 are much better
Sirius/ XM plays a great variety even on their 2 channels labeled 'Classic', but for greater variety they have their 'Deep Tracks ' channel. I lost my stomach for terrestrial radio after I started with XM. Even if they had a more imaginative playlist, the witless blathering of the DJ's insults my intelligence.
I lost my stomach for terrestrial rock radio after they stopped promoting new music and just became about nostalgia- somewhere around the mid 90s. I don’t have satellite radio either, but I rely on some fantastic music podcasts for my music fixes. I love Progzilla Radio and Music in Widescreen podcasts but there are loads of other excellent ones. As far as I am concerned, radio is dead.
"Smooth" by Santana. Love Carlos, great song. While working as a security guard in college I sat and listened to the radio for 12 hours a day. Loved it at first, then I couldn't escape it. There were four rock stations in town and they all managed to play it at the same time. No. where. to. run.
Man, you go hard on it. Once again, you got a lot of laughs from me. I really enjoy your authentic approaches. And it was perfectly clear that, once it became a hit, you will hate forever...
When it comes to Pink Floyd, I would rather sit through a playback of that entire miserable FINAL CUT album from beginning to end than listen to either "Money" or "Another Brick In The Wall Part 2."
i got XM cause I couldn't take it anymore. you still get a lot of the normal but they go way deeper in the track selection and variety of bands than the radio
Rock and Roll All Nite gives me a gag reflex anymore... I'll add Takin' Care of Business by BTO, Foreigners I Want To KNow What Love Is, and Im at a crossroads with Don't Stop Believin' by Journey. Mercy Rule already!!!!
Scott Gabbert . . . Here in Australia it's I Was Made for Lovin' You. Rock and Roll ALL Nite wasn't played to any great capacity until after 1996. But man I Was Made for Lovin You, Sure Know Something and in 1980 . . . Shandi was played to death from June to November 1980.
@@xDannyRBNx I don't know about that Danny. But I certainly haven't since 1976-7. Having said that though, since that time, there have been the songs that I've heard on the radio and liked and then gone on to buy or acquire. The same goes though, for TV and friend's houses or cars. I've long welcomed having a measure of random in my life. Personally, I've never seen the fuss with Spotify. When all my friends, colleagues and my little brother were raving about it, I was just thinking "but I've been in control of my own musical listening destiny for most of my life !" Don't get me wrong, Spotify and its ilk serve an important function. But not for me.
Even FM radio? You sure missed a lot of good music. I stopped listening to the radio in the early 90s when the smaller stations were being bought up by corporations.
Great show Pete! I could sit here and pick songs until I'm blue-in-the-face! The 'REAL' problem is the classic rock format we have on the radio! The same songs shoved down our throats every hour, every day, every week, every month, and every year! Like you said in your show, we LOVED these songs when they first came out. Now we HATE them with so much passion! To alleviate the stress in my life, I turned my back on classic rock radio in 2019! When I'm in my car, I play my CD's, Use Spotify, or listen to KCRW 89.9 here in Los Angeles.
Dude looks like a lady never ever again!....and everything you mentioned as well! Pete, with all of the mentions of weddings, I'm thinking you're a wedding crasher?
very late to this video but wow I cant agree more about pretty much all these picks. Subbed to your channel, love the honesty. This needs to be said more!
I know it's a great song, but if I hear "Imagine" by John Lennon, sung by John or any other fool who also recorded this overplayed weepy I will puke. And that also goes for "What a Wonderful World." UGH!!
Do yourself a favor and have a laugh m8, i suggest you look up 'red roses too' it's a spliced version of 'what a wonderful world' that revolves around the red roses line.
Couldn't agree more, I never understood what's so great about "Imagine". The melody is a very average Lennon song at best, and the lyrics are infantile, it's kindergarden stuff as far as I'm concerned. If you compare it to other Lennon solo stuff for example a truly great lyric such as "Isolation" which I love, "Imagine" is really a subpar song in every respect.
@SS88doubleturn Obviously, but whatever was on Lennons mind to me it still is an average song at best, both as far as the melody and the lyrics, that some might see as idealistic dreaming, but I consider to be just infantile fluff. I already mentioned Isolation, and I think I could easily come upp with a whole set of Lennon songs that are far superior to Imagine.
Another One Bites The Dust bit the dust the first time I heard it in 1980. Considering the body of work up to that point, the whole album "The Game" was a disappointment. I believe it's also their shortest album. Only 35 minutes.
LOL - Another One ... you would have to work hard to get sick of it? I know it got played at the skating rink a lot in 1980 but I don't know that I've heard it since . . .
Thank you Pete…I haven’t laughed this hard in a while!. One at the top of my list is “Clocks” by Cold Play. It was great the first few times I heard it and now I just can’t do it..
Tony C. . . . We in Australia are occasionally lucky. We missed out on some great bands like Van Halen pre 1983. Journey was a complete FAILURE outside the U.S. apart from the U.K. I loathed Journey and was stunned to hear how big they were in the U.S.. Styx too were total flops as were the bulk of the Eighties bands.
gage..omg yes..my husband worked for journey a few years he had to quit so he did not toss himself off a bridge to avoid hearing them pussy ass tunes one more time... t/y
The Who is my favorite band and I completely agree with “Who Are You”, “Won’t Get Fooled Again” and “Baba O’ Riley” being overplayed. They all three hold a special place in my heart though because those are the songs that introduced me to the band. I feel like I could listen to the intro and the acoustic guitar solo in “Who Are You”, the synthesizer intro and violin outro on “Baba O’ Riley”, and the drum solo and the scream in “Won’t Get Fooled Again” and I’d be happy. But the songs in full, I could live without them.
Love the Who but I’ve never got on with Baba O’Reilly. Hate that piddling keyboard intro and Townshend’s Teenage Wasteland bit goes straight through me.
Stairway To Heaven, Smoke On The Water, Comfortably Numb, Bohemian Rhapsody, Hotel California, Imagine, Tom Sawyer & more such ... belong in the "once/year" category.
Songs I never need to hear again, Part 1: Hard Rock Cafe (no, I will not come to the...) Hotel California (the only song the Eagles have ever written?) Tell her about it (no, don`t tell her again) Glory days (Maybe they were, but now you should leave them behind) I want to break free ( I want to get rid of this song) Hey Joe (the only song that gets airplay from Jimmy Hendrix, and its not even good) Heal the world (it will not heal, stop it) I will always love you (I soon will hate you) The best (no, its not better than all the rest) Girls just want to have fun (I think, daddy has understood it now) You can`t hurry love (okay, but I will not wait 40 years more)
Then you have two classic rock stations in town with similar play lists...Now the oldies station is starting to play songs the other two play...It's madness I tell you.
I'm at the point where the first note of smells like teen spirit makes me look for the nearest fire exit. Also growing up in the 90's near Manchester UK, Wonderwall by Oasis was the most overplayed song in existence, I can't exaggerate how much that song was played round here, also Twistin' my melon by Happy Mondays. Both good the first few hundred times.
more than a feeling - boston since you been gone - rainbow living on a prayer - bon jovi boys are back in town - thin lizzy sweet child o mine - guns n roses
Nothing more frustrating than being a Rainbow fan and having to hear the worst song they ever recorded every day at work. As opposed to literally anything else! I sometimes wonder if anyone would complain if I swapped it out for Tarot Woman for the sake of my sanity
My heart will go on by Celine Dion, I will always love you by Whitney Houston, Total eclipse of the heart by Bonnie Tyler, Paradise by the dashboard light by Meatloaf
ok, now that i watched the video, even though you didnt mention money, or brick in the wall, or some of the others i was thinking of, you were spot on with everything you did mention. this video was alot of fun.
A good friend of mine who was an engineer at ABC Dunhill told me if you don’t like a song don’t record it because you might end up having to play it the rest of your life if it becomes a hit!
My top 5 never need to hear again ( or maybe once a year ) 1) Smoke On The Water - Deep Purple. Love Deep Purple and the song but...vastly over played. 2) Bohemian Rhapsody - Queen. Played to death 3) Here I go again - Whitesnake 4) Time After Time - Cyndi Lauper 5) Pretty Woman - Roy Orbison I love all these songs but have heard them way too many times. Good idea for a rant video Pete. Next...how about picking certain bands and doing a Deep Cuts video? There are lots of really good tunes on great albums that the casual fan hasn't heard.
All of these songs I can live with but Bohemian Rhapsody is where I put my foot down - No more! The uniqueness of the song has been destroyed by over-playing.
ANYTHING by Foreigner, or Kenny Loggins. If I hear 'Danger Zone' one more time I may lose my mind, grab my Model 39-2 and start blowing holes in the radio.
Paul: What makes 'Danger Zone' doubly appalling to me is, besides an insipid pop rocker trying to do hard rock, the song is from the 'Top Gun' soundtrack. I was assigned to a Navy fighter squadron a few years after that film came out and it was viewed as an absolute joke, especially by the pilots. We had a guy named 'Sontag' in the squadron. If that was you, then you are indeed my brother. (Strike Fighter Squadron 151, 1994-1997)
Use to love the following but they have been played to death: Layla, Hotel California, We Are The Champions, Imagine, I Love Rock N' Roll, and Another Brick In The Wall.
Crazy. This last weekend I performed live You Shook Me All Night Long, All the Small Things, Pour Some Sugar on Me, Sweet Child of Mine, Free Bird, Basket Case, Time of Your Life, Free Fallin', and We Are the Champions. All were requests off a list of 351 song titles.
I never need to hear "Livin' on a Prayer" ever again.
living on my hair
I don´t need to listen to anything from Bon Jovi, anymore.
Bon Jovi 🤢
And I never want to be "livin' on a prayer again."
I went through a tough divorce when that song came out. It played at every club, I went to with my two buddies, who were also getting divorced. To this day, I can't listen to that song without hearing the chorus that we the made up. My roommate and my best friend, got me through a very heartbreaking time in my life. We shared long talks, a few tears, some really big laughs, good times, drinks, played music together and even traded dates a few times.
Whoa! I'm half way there
Whoa! I don't fucking care!
Take my wife, I hate her, I swear
Woah! I don't fucking care!
RIP, Brian.
You were like a brother to me.
Cheers to the good times, bro.
What I've learned today: Pete goes to WAY TOO MANY weddings!
Everyone needs a hobby.
LOL that's exactly what I got out of it too
Something tells me he isn't going to any wedding soon...🤔
This is like going to 5 consecutive weddings on a Saturday I would rather be watching a baseball game.

Ha ha that is funny "Do you really want to hurt me? Do you really want to make my cry?"
Don’t stop believin by Journey, all my friends know that the second that comes on I’m leaving
I used to work for a company that put on weddings. It was the rare DJ that did not play "Don't Stop Believing". It happened so consistently, that we'd place bets on when the DJ would

The first song I thought of after reading the title of the video.
I love Journey but there are some many other great Journey songs that I’d rather hear.
For me,if I never hear Pour some Sugar On Me again I would be ok.
"Living On A Prayer" - Bon Jovi. I've just heard it too much.
How about "Bed of Roses"?
@@IvanHernandez-wm4jj much better, and isn't as overplayed, probably due to its almost seven minute length.
once was too much
I've just heard it too much after the first time.
"You give love a bad Name" also. Both songs suck and are way overplayed. Wanted Dead or Alive is way overplayed too but at least that's a good song.
There's a reason why I NEVER listen to classic rock radio when I'm driving - and this is it.
Very wise!

Born to Be Wild by Steppenwolf. You’d think that was the only song they ever recorded. Play something else by them FFS!
Magic Carpet Ride has been equally overplayed in my neck of the woods !
It's one song I never tire of its pure pumping rock with probably the first reference to heavy metal in the lyrics.
Both songs are much better when you listen to them on "Steppenwolf" and "Steppenwolf The Second."
They have recorded
songs like " Power Play"
and "From Here To There Eventually"
You don't hear them as
much.
'C'mon Eileen' and 'We Built This City On Rock'n'Roll' - both musical crimes against humanity.
I despise *"Come On Eileen.* Ever since it came out in '83 I've hated that stupid song...
Re: 'Come On Eileen'. Picture me placing a five pound chunk of C-4 (plastic explosives) on top of the radio and leaving the room. Leaving the room in a hurry...
@@Deborahtunes "cum on Eileen"
"We built this city" plays at my work, it's such a bland monotone track, all i can think of while i hear that song at work is 'yeah, you built the city on rock n roll, but that's not very structurally sound'.
They did...alot
"Let's Dance" by the mighty David Bowie, for god's sake play "Scary Monsters" " I'm Afraid of Americans" "Moonage Daydream" or ANYTHING. The Actor had MANY MANY much better songs.
I'd like to hear "Young Americans."
Whattttttttttttt???? Just dance is amazingly groovy.
@@waterglas21 "Let's Dance" is fantastic as a pop record for Bowie. I love it for that. "Scary Monsters" might be my fave. Or "Low".. So many great records. "Ziggy Stardust" in top 3. Such great work.
P.s. - "I'm afraid of Americans". Such a great track. I love his "Earthling" era as well. And the touring with Trent Reznor!!
I've listened to every Bowie album, and please tell me I'm not alone in saying that "Let's Dance" is not even a great album in general. Let's Dance is my least favorite David Bowie hit, both song and album.
i think Enter Sandman is SUPER overplayed. it’s just ugh to me. like i love metallica but god so overplayed
Nothing Else Matters, Sad but True, basically that whole overrated Black album.
@@rodsmolter5046 it gets played so much that i can’t even enjoy it anymore
The very first note of Another Brick in the Wall and I'm out of there.
...... Or "Sultans of Swing," by Dire Straits, "Black Dog," by Led Zeppelin, or, "Somebody To Love," by Queen. Now.... I'm a huge fan of Queen and love that song, but even Freddie Mercury, if he was still alive, would ask these classic rock stations, "you _do_ know I wrote other stuff, right?"
Amen sawdust
@@peace__777 "Sultans of Swing" is one song that I could listen to multiple times every day. It has qualities the other songs you mentioned don't seem to have. The characterization and storytelling, sheer beauty of the music, Knopfler's taste and technique, the unsentimental nostalgia it conjures for a place and time, as a well as a tincture of je ne sais quoi. I love the song and feel as if I grow a bit as a person every time I hear it.
What pisses me off about the song is that I only hear it at work these days and it always gets cut off by an in-house ad for glazed donuts or toilet paper.
Massive fan, that I am of Floyd, I have to agree. The saving grace is the solo. Another Floyd song I can do without is Comfortably numb. If I hear someone else, doing their version of this song, well I might not be responsible for my actions.
@@jankafka7330YES!!!!
“Welcome to the Jungle”. Can we please stop already?
Sweet Child o' Mine is more overplayed imo. Welcome to the Jungle is fucking amazing to me.
I'll take wttj over Paradise City any day.
@@TheCOZ Me too but I still like both songs.
@@TheCOZ yes I totally agree
Jungle DEFINITELY over Paradise City. Every day every way. No question
I live in Germany. They dont play rockmusik on the radio here .... ever. The good thing is that these songs are still great for me
I think you listed about every song that came to mind for me when I saw this list. Nailed it!
Margaritaville by Jimmy Buffet
Sweet Caroline by Neil Diamond
Brown Eyed Girl by Van Morrisson
THANK YOU! Argh, I hate each of those so much.
It's unfortunate in Morrison's case because he's such a magnificent musician but he's remembered for that of all things
Those are good ones, except now the latter two are going through my head back and forth, which isn't good. "Sweet Caroline" might actually get it for a song I'd be tempted to even pay a decent sum foe the privilege of never having to hear it ever again.
#3 was on my list too
good call!
From a UK perspective.
Stairway to heaven, Bohemian rhapsody, Imagine. (The 1 2 3 of ANY poll of the bestest songs EVER ).
Sweet child o...no please stop. Free bird. Freak off!
Sweet home Alabama, Californication, Hotel..you know the one. Come on Eileen.....bah will end it there as there are so many.
That's part of why I gave up on radio years ago. Thank god for smart phones and unlimited data plans.
Not forgetting;
Layla
All right now
Paranoid
Smoke on the water
Jump
American pie
And many many more........
Put them all on a Ronco/K-tel best of album, then burn it🔥
Basically any Driving Songs CD!!
"Smoke on the Water" Deep Purple
Queen , Don’t stop me now, It’s a kind of magic, and almost anything on Planet Rock !
Satisfaction - Stones
Anything from the Eagles, particularly "Hotel California"
Life's Been Good - Joe Walsh
Brown Eyed Girl- Van Morrison
Dancing in the Dark - Springsteen
Brandy - Looking Glass
Renegade - Styx
Good one's. Agree with the Eagles. I used to like them but all of their biggest hits have been played to death and they don't have a whole lot of great deep cuts.
@@rodsmolter5046 Train Leaves Here This Morning is a good deep cut. Off of their first album.
@@gregwilliams3120 I'll have to look that 1 up. I like James Dean and Doolin-Dalton as 2 lesser known eagles songs.
I agree with many of your dislikes but have to add these two - I Love Rock & Roll by Joan Jett and Born in the U.S.A. by Bruce Springsteen.
Joan Jett was overrated to begin with.
Bruce Springsteen didn't even write Born in the USA.
He stole it. Ask Steven Van Zandt.
Very good choices.
I HATE REPEATERS!!!
"Dancing In The Dark" is not far behind.
"Don't Stop Believin" by Journey. AHHHH!!!!! 😨
Anything Journey!
Oggatha Christie its fucking horrid
Totally agree
Can't believe Pete missed it
@@padresteve619 cant hit the change button fast enough
Rush-Tom Sawyer, Europe-the Final Countdown, John Couger-jack & Diane.
I turn the station whenever these songs come on.
Final Countdown has a great guitar solo but I can't get through the whole thing because of that annoying repetitive synthesizer riff. Jack and Diane is a good pick - I hate that "little diddy". I still listen to Moving Pictures quite a bit but I always skip Tom Sawyer. Funny because that was the song that first got me hooked on Rush.
Smoke on the water- Deep Purple
Should I stay or should I go- The Clash
Come out and play- The Offspring
I hate “Pour some sugar on me”!! I love Def Leppard’s first three albums.
I never liked that song
Pour Some Sugar On Me is one of the better songs from Hysteria, but it is so overplayed and their first three albums and their EP from 1979 are much better
It’s a terrible song. If I want a good Def Leppard song, I listen to “Satellite”
Russ DAngelo Now that’s a good song
I do think Pour some sugar on me is a decent song. I think the most over played Def Leppard song is 'Bringing on the heartbreak'
Pretty much any song played on ‘Classic Rock Radio’?
Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Lynyrd Skynyrd, The Eagles and Queen in particular
Sirius/ XM plays a great variety even on their 2 channels labeled 'Classic', but for greater variety they have their 'Deep Tracks ' channel. I lost my stomach for terrestrial radio after I started with XM. Even if they had a more imaginative playlist, the witless blathering of the DJ's insults my intelligence.
Lol
I lost my stomach for terrestrial rock radio after they stopped promoting new music and just became about nostalgia- somewhere around the mid 90s. I don’t have satellite radio either, but I rely on some fantastic music podcasts for my music fixes. I love Progzilla Radio and Music in Widescreen podcasts but there are loads of other excellent ones. As far as I am concerned, radio is dead.
i know... Carry On Wayward Son/Dust In The Wind by Kansas. you think those were the only 2 songs they recorded.
Number 1 for me? Bad to the Bone. Never need to hear it again. You hear that intro in a movie you know a cringeworthy scene will follow.
Hysterical. Pete could do standup comedy. I cackled all through the video.....🤘🤪
The Titanic Song by Celine Dion.
YES
Oh come on, sing it with me .....near.....far....wherEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEver you are !
Ahh, the ever classic My Shart Will Go On.
LouiePlaysDrums anything by her makes me wretch
Not my thing..never heard it
Total Eclipse Of The Heart...ugh
"Smooth" by Santana. Love Carlos, great song. While working as a security guard in college I sat and listened to the radio for 12 hours a day. Loved it at first, then I couldn't escape it. There were four rock stations in town and they all managed to play it at the same time. No. where. to. run.
The solo from Hotel California was playing in my background when you said it haha
I wanna know what love is by Foreigner or any of those over produced 80's love ballads (see REO speed wagon, Journey etc..)
Ha yes. Drive, by The Cars also springs to mind, especially.
Sweet Child O' Mine was the first song that came to mind before I even started watching this. Turn the station anytime I hear the opening notes.
I don´t need to listen to anything by Guns N´Roses, especially, Sweet Child O´Mine.
Ughh. That's a terrible song.
The guitar solo is incredible but other then that this song is just god awful.
@@ajp_3391 It's not terrible, It's HORRIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! haha. The perfect song for casual rock fans.
Man, you go hard on it. Once again, you got a lot of laughs from me.
I really enjoy your authentic approaches.
And it was perfectly clear that, once it became a hit, you will hate forever...
I think "Stairway To Heaven" tops the list for anyone over 60.
"I Love Rock N Roll"
Paul Zenco omg yes! I can't stand that song😂
Paul Zenco yes!! And I can’t take anymore “I hate myself for loving you” and “hit me with your best shot”!! Please make it stop!!lol
My sister played that song to death in the early 80s .
ARGHHH! I NEVER need to hear that one again.
This video had me laughing so hard! Then you went to "Let It Go". And I laughed even harder.
I really am sick of "money" by Pink Floyd. Every time I hear those cash registers ring, I dive for the off switch
I always thought it was the start of the British show “ Are you being served “😂😂😂
My favorite band, but I agree. Once a year would be fine.
When it comes to Pink Floyd, I would rather sit through a playback of that entire miserable FINAL CUT album from beginning to end than listen to either "Money" or "Another Brick In The Wall Part 2."
@@Daniel-415-Ponce Some very good songs on the Final Cut.
Don't stop believin' by Journey. I stop believin' on that song a long time ago.
Anything by Journey is pure SHIT.
Nearly every song played on FM rock stations, especially the "classic" stations.
I concur.
Yep. You'd think that every major rock band only had one or two hit songs.
Exactly and the fuckin idiots at those stations wonder why they are struggling. Too damn scared
i got XM cause I couldn't take it anymore. you still get a lot of the normal but they go way deeper in the track selection and variety of bands than the radio
Even XM is not as good as it once was. I personally refer to their "Deep Tracks" channel as "Shallow Ditch"...
Bad to the Bone was over played and covered. I love me some George Thorogood, but that song is worn out.
Hehe...it's definitely overplayed,but for some reason i could listen to that slide guitar all day!
Heard that every day on Navy boot camp. Never could listen to it again. Not a very good song to begin with.
PRO TIP: never turn on the radio ever again. Problem solved.
I never, ever turn the radio on. I decide what I listen to. Not some dumb dj who has about 20 songs to go at!
Unless it's the classical station. 👍
I always liked "Come as you are" better than "Smells like Teen Spirit>"
I would rather listen to anything else off Nevermind than SLTS. Lounge Act, Drain You, On A Plain, Breed etc are all better imo.
Rock and Roll All Nite gives me a gag reflex anymore... I'll add Takin' Care of Business by BTO, Foreigners I Want To KNow What Love Is, and Im at a crossroads with Don't Stop Believin' by Journey. Mercy Rule already!!!!
Scott Gabbert . . . Here in Australia it's I Was Made for Lovin' You. Rock and Roll ALL Nite wasn't played to any great capacity until after 1996.
But man I Was Made for Lovin You, Sure Know Something and in 1980 . . . Shandi was played to death from June to November 1980.
@@FrostedSeagull I'd love to hear Shandi over Rock and roll all night. Sure know something? Yes please, at least they are actual songs.
You can't find too many radio stations that won't play oldies these days.
I miss album oriented
rock music.
You don't hear 👂
too many Hendrix
songs like "Stepping Stone" or " Three Little Bears"
I stopped listening to radio in 1976 so I don't have this problem. I wouldn't recognize a Blink, Green Day or Aguilera song if you played it.
I stopped in 2001, when I had a DSL line. I listened to Shoutcast streams. Today Spotify is the thing. Nobody needs the radio anymore.
@@xDannyRBNx I don't know about that Danny. But I certainly haven't since 1976-7. Having said that though, since that time, there have been the songs that I've heard on the radio and liked and then gone on to buy or acquire. The same goes though, for TV and friend's houses or cars. I've long welcomed having a measure of random in my life.
Personally, I've never seen the fuss with Spotify. When all my friends, colleagues and my little brother were raving about it, I was just thinking "but I've been in control of my own musical listening destiny for most of my life !" Don't get me wrong, Spotify and its ilk serve an important function. But not for me.
You would definitely recognize a Green Day song
Haa..im with you
Even FM radio? You sure missed a lot of good music. I stopped listening to the radio in the early 90s when the smaller stations were being bought up by corporations.
If Stairway to Heaven isn't on this list it's a fail.
I was wiped out ....wiped out ......wiped out
stairway to heaven is my favorite song... it's legendary
That and Freebird!
Absolutely.
Or Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen.
Great show Pete! I could sit here and pick songs until I'm blue-in-the-face! The 'REAL' problem is the classic rock format we have on the radio! The same songs shoved down our throats every hour, every day, every week, every month, and every year! Like you said in your show, we LOVED these songs when they first came out. Now we HATE them with so much passion! To alleviate the stress in my life, I turned my back on classic rock radio in 2019! When I'm in my car, I play my CD's, Use Spotify, or listen to KCRW 89.9 here in Los Angeles.
Dude looks like a lady never ever again!....and everything you mentioned as well!
Pete, with all of the mentions of weddings, I'm thinking you're a wedding crasher?
What about the ultimate dreaded wedding song, everything i do i do it for you by Bryan Adams
A puker
truemansparks yakkk🙌🏻
In Canada we have Canadian content rules. Bryan Adams all day every day
Yeah that was my wedding song in 1994. Divorced now....
I’ve probably watched 500+ SOT videos, but this might be my favorite. I laughed the whole time. Thank you, Mr. Pardo.
very late to this video but wow I cant agree more about pretty much all these picks. Subbed to your channel, love the honesty. This needs to be said more!
After watching this video, I never need to hear you say "ugh" again.
I know it's a great song, but if I hear "Imagine" by John Lennon, sung by John or any other fool who also recorded this overplayed weepy I will puke. And that also goes for "What a Wonderful World." UGH!!
Do yourself a favor and have a laugh m8, i suggest you look up 'red roses too' it's a spliced version of 'what a wonderful world' that revolves around the red roses line.
Yes I'm ok without hearing Imagine again...or yesterday
Couldn't agree more, I never understood what's so great about "Imagine". The melody is a very average Lennon song at best, and the lyrics are infantile, it's kindergarden stuff as far as I'm concerned. If you compare it to other Lennon solo stuff for example a truly great lyric such as "Isolation" which I love, "Imagine" is really a subpar song in every respect.
AGREE!
@SS88doubleturn Obviously, but whatever was on Lennons mind to me it still is an average song at best, both as far as the melody and the lyrics, that some might see as idealistic dreaming, but I consider to be just infantile fluff. I already mentioned Isolation, and I think I could easily come upp with a whole set of Lennon songs that are far superior to Imagine.
So love your list!!! “I Can’t Dance!” Absolutely hated that from Day One!!! And I love Phil C.
Great vid Pete! I’ll never understand why radio stations run songs into the ground?
Love Queen. I don't need to hear another one bites the dust again.
Bohemian Rhapsody can fk off!!
Another One Bites The Dust bit the dust the first time I heard it in 1980. Considering the body of work up to that point, the whole album "The Game" was a disappointment. I believe it's also their shortest album. Only 35 minutes.
Dragon Attack is so much better.
@@PaulFalcon I forgot about Dragon Attack. I just listened to it. Not bad for 1980.
LOL - Another One ... you would have to work hard to get sick of it? I know it got played at the skating rink a lot in 1980 but I don't know that I've heard it since . . .
Old Time Rock n Roll - Bob Segar
...just shoot me.
(Haha I posted this comment before I finished the video)
Trendkiller the worst song ever made! I’m glad I’m not the only one
When that comes on at a wedding, I go outside for a smoke or piss break.
Yes, anything by BS
LOL!!!!!
Yes. Lol
Thank you Pete…I haven’t laughed this hard in a while!. One at the top of my list is “Clocks” by Cold Play. It was great the first few times I heard it and now I just can’t do it..
You are pretty much Spot on Pete! Keep up the good work buddy!
Don’t stop believin’...
Right. Any well-known track by Journey (or the Eagles).
That tune was ALWAYS dreck!
Tony C. . . . We in Australia are occasionally lucky. We missed out on some great bands like Van Halen pre 1983. Journey was a complete FAILURE outside the U.S. apart from the U.K. I loathed Journey and was stunned to hear how big they were in the U.S..
Styx too were total flops as were the bulk of the Eighties bands.
gage..omg yes..my husband worked for journey a few years he had to quit so he did not toss himself off a bridge to avoid hearing them pussy ass tunes one more time... t/y
journey is the worst ..
Nirvana: ”Another band I don’t have any use for” - lol. I’m ded
I hate those guys anyway.
So overrated
GnR blows. Slash great, band overrated. Stick with the Snake pit Slash.
@@slackblabbath8528 That’s why they defined an entire generation, such ignorance.
@@aviationlba747 nirvana is top 5 most overrated bands
very needed video! Great idea! congrats!
You nailed this list!
The Who is my favorite band and I completely agree with “Who Are You”, “Won’t Get Fooled Again” and “Baba O’ Riley” being overplayed. They all three hold a special place in my heart though because those are the songs that introduced me to the band.
I feel like I could listen to the intro and the acoustic guitar solo in “Who Are You”, the synthesizer intro and violin outro on “Baba O’ Riley”, and the drum solo and the scream in “Won’t Get Fooled Again” and I’d be happy. But the songs in full, I could live without them.
Love the Who but I’ve never got on with Baba O’Reilly. Hate that piddling keyboard intro and Townshend’s Teenage Wasteland bit goes straight through me.
Stairway To Heaven, Smoke On The Water, Comfortably Numb, Bohemian Rhapsody, Hotel California, Imagine, Tom Sawyer & more such ... belong in the "once/year" category.
I agree, you can also add Bat out of Hell! All great songs but wow!
- We will rock you.
- Sweet child o' mine.
- Satisfaction.
Please no more, thanks.😄
Songs I never need to hear again, Part 1:
Hard Rock Cafe (no, I will not come to the...)
Hotel California (the only song the Eagles have ever written?)
Tell her about it (no, don`t tell her again)
Glory days (Maybe they were, but now you should leave them behind)
I want to break free ( I want to get rid of this song)
Hey Joe (the only song that gets airplay from Jimmy Hendrix, and its not even good)
Heal the world (it will not heal, stop it)
I will always love you (I soon will hate you)
The best (no, its not better than all the rest)
Girls just want to have fun (I think, daddy has understood it now)
You can`t hurry love (okay, but I will not wait 40 years more)
Anything by Journey and the Eagles is WAY OVERPLAYED on classic rock radio and I actually CHANGE the station when ANY of their songs come on.
well The last resort by the Eagles is great
Then you have two classic rock stations in town with similar play lists...Now the oldies station is starting to play songs the other two play...It's madness I tell you.
Journey was great till Perry turned it into a ballad machine
You should listen to Of A Lifetime. Awesome song
You wanna hear torture? I used to work at the YMCA. And oh yes, they played that.....
I'm at the point where the first note of smells like teen spirit makes me look for the nearest fire exit. Also growing up in the 90's near Manchester UK, Wonderwall by Oasis was the most overplayed song in existence, I can't exaggerate how much that song was played round here, also Twistin' my melon by Happy Mondays. Both good the first few hundred times.
I can see Owner of a Lonely Heart, but that screaming guitar solo never gets old for me.
more than a feeling - boston
since you been gone - rainbow
living on a prayer - bon jovi
boys are back in town - thin lizzy
sweet child o mine - guns n roses
Nothing more frustrating than being a Rainbow fan and having to hear the worst song they ever recorded every day at work. As opposed to literally anything else! I sometimes wonder if anyone would complain if I swapped it out for Tarot Woman for the sake of my sanity
@@ChrisStoneinator stick difficult to cure on lol, I think their minds would totally spaz out lol.
@bucky468 Huh, the more you know! Been a minor argent/zombies fan for quite a while
My heart will go on by Celine Dion, I will always love you by Whitney Houston, Total eclipse of the heart by Bonnie Tyler, Paradise by the dashboard light by Meatloaf
Anything by Meathead.
ok, now that i watched the video, even though you didnt mention money, or brick in the wall, or some of the others i was thinking of, you were spot on with everything you did mention. this video was alot of fun.
A good friend of mine who was an engineer at ABC Dunhill told me if you don’t like a song don’t record it because you might end up having to play it the rest of your life if it becomes a hit!
My top 5 never need to hear again ( or maybe once a year )
1) Smoke On The Water - Deep Purple. Love Deep Purple and the song but...vastly over played.
2) Bohemian Rhapsody - Queen. Played to death
3) Here I go again - Whitesnake
4) Time After Time - Cyndi Lauper
5) Pretty Woman - Roy Orbison
I love all these songs but have heard them way too many times.
Good idea for a rant video Pete.
Next...how about picking certain bands and doing a Deep Cuts video?
There are lots of really good tunes on great albums that the casual fan hasn't heard.
LOVE that idea Clive!
I don't hear the Roy version enough. THe VH version is not played out like some of their stuff is though.
All of these songs I can live with but Bohemian Rhapsody is where I put my foot down - No more! The uniqueness of the song has been destroyed by over-playing.
RIGHT, that's always been the case. The best songs are the ones that never made the charts.
Anything Pink Floyd
ANYTHING by Foreigner, or Kenny Loggins.
If I hear 'Danger Zone' one more time I may lose my mind, grab my Model 39-2 and start blowing holes in the radio.
Holy fuck! I hate Foreigner the worst ever and ‘Danger Zone’ makes my flesh crawl. You must be my brother!
Paul: What makes 'Danger Zone' doubly appalling to me is, besides an insipid pop rocker trying to do hard rock, the song is from the 'Top Gun' soundtrack.
I was assigned to a Navy fighter squadron a few years after that film came out and it was viewed as an absolute joke, especially by the pilots.
We had a guy named 'Sontag' in the squadron.
If that was you, then you are indeed my brother. (Strike Fighter Squadron 151, 1994-1997)
Use to love the following but they have been played to death: Layla, Hotel California, We Are The Champions, Imagine, I Love Rock N' Roll, and Another Brick In The Wall.
Crazy. This last weekend I performed live You Shook Me All Night Long, All the Small Things, Pour Some Sugar on Me, Sweet Child of Mine, Free Bird, Basket Case, Time of Your Life, Free Fallin', and We Are the Champions. All were requests off a list of 351 song titles.
