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.

Ha, yeah any time I put on the Highway to Hell album, I start it at Girls Got Rhythm.
