In keeping with the other music threads going on, what do you think is the most over played song so where you are totaly sick of hearing it and can't even view it as a song anymore.

#1 on my list would have to be Stairway to Heaven.
EVERY SINGLE garage band in my youth played this damn song. I find it impossible to listen to more than 30 seconds of it now.

#2 would have to be "Angie" by the Rolling Stones. It was great for the first 100 times I heard it on the radio. By the 1 billionth time, it got old.

Sweet Home Alabama

Loved the song before the last 10 years of drunken rednecks shouting for it at every gig.

Led Zeppelin. Most over-rated band ever

I'm sorry, you're just wrong on that one.

But yes, overplayed everywhere.

Leo Kotke

Steve Goodman (live stuff)

John Prine

That's some of the stuff I wish was overplayed:D

I'm sorry, but he's right. They're by far the most over-rated band ever. EVER.

Most over-played song? It has, and always will be Stairway To Heaven. Sure it has a good melody, but it's not much of a song. It'd been beaten to death when the 1990's came around, and now it's just getting downright stupid.

The term "flogging a dead horse" couldn't possibly be used in a better context.
