Most Overplayed Classic Rock songs on today's Radio?

[ANF]

Out of curiosity ANF, what radio stations do you listen to? I live just a tad north of Cincinnati and I listen to WEBN, WTUE, and The Fox.........

I listen to SFR and QMF the two "classic rock" stations, I also like 100.5 Gen X and 88.1 WNAS, which is this all-request radio station that plays a very schizophrenic mixture of genres and I like it (for instance, you'll hear Judas Priest followed by Reba McEntire) and they play a lot of lesser-known hits and even album cuts.

But most of the time, I just listen to my ipod in the car.

The classic rock radio station in my city likes to play A LOT of Rush, and sure, Rush is sweet and all but a gal can only listen to Limelight or Working Man so many times in a day.

Looks like Sweet Home Alabama is taking this easily.

Yeppers! I think people are really tired of hearing Sweet Home Alabama. Infact, the last time I was in the car, that song came on my fav radio station and I changed channels.


I should get me an adapter so I can play my mp3 player in the car

It's too bad, that is a good song and Skynyrd did some other radio worthy stuff over the years that should have gotten more attention, they were far more than "...Alabama and Free Bird"....

It's that damned catchy intro...and I've lost track of how many movies have used that song too.

Still I like it fine, and when I play that record I don't skip over it, the benefit of not listening to radio anymore.

Another incredibly overplayed song on classic rock radio, which I find funny because it was more country-pop than anything (yet we don't hear Kenny Rogers on there), Margaritaville by Jimmy Buffett. Not sure how classic rock stations elsewhere are, but in Louisville that song is a mainstay on the two we have.

Margaritaville was played a lot here as well, you're pretty much guaranteed that it the Only Jimmy Buffet song they play, which is too bad he's done a lot of fun songs over the years.

Tommy James - Crimson and Clover.


I dunno wtf the deal is, but in the last couple of months, I don't think there has been a single day that I have listened to the radio where I haven't heard thsi song at least twice in a 8 to 12 hr period.

I love these songs but man, they play em WAY too much. There are about 25 more I could think of, the usual ones I'm sure youve heard. I dont even listen to radio except when driving my old truck (which I rarely drive and it only has radio) and when changing cd's in the car I catch a few seconds of a song here and there.
