Overplayed rock songs

[The Heretic]

Rockin all over the world

[Bürggermeister]

Livin'on a prayer

Isn't played enough, it's deadly.

Smells like teen spirt is so much better when you realise Cobain shouts out "A mosquito, Ballymena!!"

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...)

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 

[The Great Cull]

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

[Carnage]

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.

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

[Pentagrimes]

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.

[Circlepit]

Any Rolling Stones song.
