We all know them, songs you just can't get away from how hard you try. Don't the bands themselves get sick of them too?
Currently in a shop and 'Sweet Child O Mine' by GNR is playing. Makes my stomach churn. Other songs I would add to this list that I don't need to hear again is 'Enter Sandman' or 'Highway to Hell'. Stop playing these songs people!.
Whiskey in the Jar.
Add Sweet Home Alabama to the pile. That opening riff makes my skin crawl, especially because I don't know if it's the original version or the Kid Rock abomination that I'm being subjected to.
The Boys are Back in Town.
The boys can fuck off now at this stage, so they can.
Blasphemy! But yeah, probably.
On a Skynyrd-related note, I've had Freebird playing on a loop in my head since I woke this morning, so add that.
Paradise City. Brilliant song but it's one of those ones a radio station pulls out for the summer BH Friday drive time. Cunts.
'Paradise City' is not the greatest GNR offender, that would be the aformentioned 'Sweet Child..'.
Aerosmith- 'Don't Want To Miss A Thing' is another one. Ugh.
"Immigrant Song" can fuck off now - and so can the suited simpletons who come off the South Mall on a Friday and sing along to it like they're the only people to have ever seen the film "School Of Rock".
If you can't do it in key - at least learn the fucking lyrics.

Top of the pile for me is Teen Spirit, such a nothing song.

Gonna cross contaminate with the controversial metal opinions thread and say that Hanger 18 is (or was) over-played and has become probably my least favourite tune on the album as a result.
Black album Metallica.
Walk this way

Ha, yeah any time I put on the Highway to Hell album, I start it at Girls Got Rhythm.
I got sick of being sick of Sweet Child that I've genuinely started to enjoy it again. I don't look for it, but if it comes on I can deal with it. It's a banger.
I never really liked GnR, so I'm pretty sick of all their songs. Can't think of any other band that's put together a 30+ year career on the back of one decent album
I could also do with never hearing Ace of Spades again in my life

Nothing else maters.....

and anything else that Tommy Hayes regularly played!
90% of nirvana.
All Soundgarden, pearl jam, Eddie veder, RATM
Motley Crue, gnr
Holy diver
All the usual pop punk songs
The songs your ma knows by journey, Europe, boston, scorpions.
Iggy pops & the Stooges over played songs
Stuck in the middle with you.
Dire straits
Although as someone mentioned earlier can go full circle, used to avoid 90% of classic rock, see maiden, deep purple, Dio, Zeppelin, thin lizzy, scorpions etc due to being put off hearing the same 2 songs on the school bus ad naseum. Came round to all those bands in the last few years once i heard songs that weren't one of the 'hits'

You'r gone full scorched earth there lad!
You are right though, there's always better songs on albums than the most popular ones, which are generally only so popular because they were released as singles.

Where exactly are The Melvins overplayed?
Yep, absolutely ludicrous observation. Don't think I've ever heard a single note from Melvins played on radio, tv etc.
And 90% of Nirvana?! Apart from the obvious, and maybe In Bloom, Heart Shape Box, who the fuck has been overplaying Bleach, Incesticide and In Utero?
It's quite rare for me to go to a rock bar without hearing Davidian. It's a great song but its do burned out for me.

Aside from the ones already mentioned, I'd be thrilled to never hear Summer of 69 again.
Probably also You Shook Me All Night Long as well. They have so many better songs than that and it, along with Highway, are the go-to ones for every DJ it seems (I'm not tired of Highway...)

Isn't played enough, it's deadly.
I've only recently decided that I'm cool enough for a bit of Bon Jovi, so this gets repeat plays from me and it's like a new song :abbath:
Summer of 69 and Sweet Home Alabama are the main 2 with me. I do find myself ignoring Enter Sandman a lot too and being a massive Metallica fan I tend to just wonder why some other tunes couldn't get more attention.
While also being someone who dodged Bon Jovi like a bad smell for years, I find myself visiting the entire Slippery When Wet album the odd time. Sambora had a more muscular guitar tone than lots of metal bands back in the day.
I always thought Bon Jovi were just a singles bands, I had the Crossroad best of and never bothered any further with them.
A while back though I was getting some cds off a lad on Adverts and he had their first few for €2 each so I threw them in with the rest. There's some great on there, the solo from Dry County in particular is fantastic
Slippery When Wet and New Jersey are great pop rock albums. Like that, I hated them at the time but they were a mate's favourite band so by osmosis they've grown on me.

Juninho. A torpedo. Cake!
I was in Homesavers the other day and they were playing Enter Sandman. They swiftly followed that up with some muzak renditions of some already awful Linkin Park songs, but the Metallica one was real which is somehow worse because the Linkin Park wasn't overplayed enough yet for them to afford to pay for the originals.
This thread is a much of a measure of how old and sad and trying to cling to a small bit of youth before the old clogs get popped we feel a much as a song is overplayed because if we weren't the wrong side of thirty we wouldn't have been around long enough to see it happen.
Actually forget that last idea because the new kids (such as the few I have responsibility for) suffer from far worse repetition than I ever could have imagined possible because they are in such a market that something comes out today and is properly drilled into their psyche within three days of release. Fuckin nuts the level of mind control that can be achieved with simple repetition in catchy rhythms I mean lol what it did to everyone on this forum long before there was the Internet and everyone else to blame for being wrong.
Anyway fuck it back to the point I think Faith No More with Epic and NIN with Closer are terribly overplayed even though I love the two bands and songs it still gets a bit fried
I'd love to live in this fantasy world where The Melvins are even played, let overplayed.

Addressing what astfygl says, there are grumpy individuals out there who complain that there "isn't any good rock music anymore ". They go on to punish us with 90s grunge and metal bands and 70s rock (Rick Beato on YouTube *cough). Like nothing else was ever recorded since and they refuse to embrace any new bands/music, so boring and lazy.
Keeping on topic, I would be happy not to hear The Rolling Stones 'Sympathy for the Devil' ever again. Yawn.
Any Rolling Stones song.
