The irony is, if you ask people in radio they will tell you that the tighter their playlist is the higher their ratings are. But everybody who listens complains about hearing the same songs over and over again. Major disconnect
@@IvanHernandez-wm4jj Yes you're so right. Classic "hits" radio....fine, but classic "rock" radio should, y now after all these years, be able to fully explore a shitload more of what classic rock lovers call classic rock. All those statio s should be called TOMFM....Tired Old Music.
I heard that Walking On Sunshine buisness AGAIN this morning while out in public, that song is akin to being subjected to an advert jingle for a fake Orange Juice Drink for what seems like twenty minutes! Just dreadful.
Yea I’ll never specifically pick out money but if I happen to want to listen to dark side, I may or may not skip it depending on if I’m really giving the album a hard listen.
"radio only plays what they wanna play, and when those request lines are open to request a song they don't have the songs by these artists that are not hit songs, if there are songs down on the albums that don't chart and become hits they don't play them."-🤔🌐📻.?
Ha! Yes, and the station I'm talking about, WEBN in Cincinnati, is still at it. There are several songs they do it with, all of them at least 15-years old or more. Disturbed "Down With the Sickness" is another one
Right ? I almost want to become a DJ after I retire just so I can go out of my way to play Megalomania and Hole in the Sky and NEVER play the other songs out of spite, haha
I never need to hear "Sweet Home Alabama" again, but "Freebird" never gets old. Whenever I hear someone beg for it at the end of a show, I secretly wish the band would oblige. Every band needs to finish with a blistering rendition of "Freebird". Doesn't matter if it's a pop singer, rapper or whoever. It's THE encore song.
The Police has lots of overplayed songs on permanent rotation on classic radio stations: Can´t Stand Losing You, Message In A Bottle, Don´t Stand So Close To Me, De Do Do Do, De Da Da Da, Every Breath You Take. But, you know what, I don´t give a damn about it,, because The Police is my favorite rock band of all time, even if it´s way overplayed to death on the radio.
@Cletus Anfernee Jackson I agree Cletus, the album is a real gem, the song for me anyway, has been overplayed on rock radio for decades resulting in radio fatigue for me. The Sabbath catalog at least until "Sabbath Bloody Sabbath" is simply outstanding. Have a good day!
I am absolutely finished with Paranoid, I have been ever since I heard it. I really never cared for it much.. ever at all. Screw that tune, love them otherwise dont get me wrong Sabbath is everything. But... blah no to that one
@@raithrover1976 'Band' is kind of stretching the term, more like Mark Knofler and revolving cast of musicians after the first 2 or 3 albums. As far as Money for Nothing goes: the introduction is too long and the ending goes on forever and never gets anywhere.
My teenage son is just experiencing these songs for the first time. He doesn't always understand that I've heard a particular song close to one million times. However, it's cool he's listening to this music rather than the garbage that's called music today.
Some of my favorite songs I try NOT to listen to for that very same reason.. I wish this music was still fresh to me as it was in the 70/80/90's.. Music today sucks
How about "Livin On The Edge"? I Don´t Wanna Miss a Thing is a poor excuse for a rock song. Indeed, it is Aerosmith´s most anti-rock song they´ve ever done.
I though Aerosmith had a reasonably decent comeback in the late-'80s. "Rag Doll" and "Janie's Got a Gun" are good songs. But, man, they fell off a cliff in the '90s.
Led Zepplin : Stairway to Heaven , Rock N Roll, Queen : Bohemian Rhapsody Motley Crue : Girls, Girls, Girls Pink Floyd: Money Bruce Springsteen : Hungry Heart , Born in the USA Jethro Tull : Aqua Lung Moody Blues : Nights in White Satin Metallica: One , Enter Sandman Blink 182 : All of their Crappy Music Green Day : Time of your life Rod Stewart : Forever Young Elton John: Candle in the Wind Billy Joel: Uptown Girl Kansas : Dust in the Wind Live : Lightning Crashes Hootie and the Blowfish : I only want to be with you Pearl Jam : Daughter , Even Flow , Better Man Soundgarden : Black Hole Sun Bryan Adams: Everything I do I do it for you Limp Bizkit : Nookie, Faith, Keep Rolling Kid Rock : All of his crappy Music Garth Brooks : Two pina coladas , Friends In Low Places , The Dance etc . Taylor Swift: Any of her Shitty Music
The only disagreements I have are Led Zeppelin and Pearl Jam. Everything else, hell yes! And, thank you for mentioning Money. That song is more annoying to me than The Wall for damn sure. Ditto on Taylor Swift, Hootie and the Blowfish (I could never understand people's fascination w/them), Queen, Rod Stewart just sucks, in my opinion, and Elton John. He's always been a paint by numbers musician to me. Don't like him, don't get it!
I couldn't stand Jump when it came out. My opinion has not changed. It's probably the one rock song that I genuinely despise. And they just....keep...playing it.
There were three different versions of *In The Air Tonight.* 1) Original 2) Drums throughout (mixed) 3) Horns (mixed) Mixed versions are hard to fine these days.
I 100% agree with you on Paranoid. Love Black Sabbath to death but that one song never did anything for me and I was always confused when I saw people talking about it like it's one of the greatest songs ever written. I'm always like "have you heard any other Black Sabbath song?"
Paranoid is a great album though.. ;-) Together with Sabbath Bloody Sabbath my personal favorites. A bit of a pity Sabbath did not play some more lighter spacy acoustic stuff like "Planet Caravan"or "Don't Start"(from Sabotage). You can hear how Tony Iommi is actually a good guitarplayer( not only the heavy riffs)
Now that you got me thinking about it: Journey - Open Arms and Faithfully - I don't like either of them ballads Poison - Every Rose Has It's Thorn Metallica - Pretty much all of the Black Album except The Struggle Within Starship - We Built This City Wallflowers - One Headlight Bon Jovi - I'll Be There For You Def Leppard - Love Bites and pretty much the Whole Hysteria album AC/DC - Thunderstruck Santana - The Game Of Love Scorpions - Teeze Me, Pleeze Me and Wind Of Change
@@JoeChewBaca there are some songs I want you to hear. You may not like them and I totally understand, but I doubt not every 80’s ballads suck. Listen to these songs if you want: Kiss-Forever and Reason To Live Skid Row-I Remember You White Lion-When The Children Cry Europe-Tomorrow Firehouse-When I Look Into Your Eyes Danger Danger-Feels Like Love Night Ranger-When You Close Your Eyes Dokken-Alone Again If This Is It-Huey Lewis Sometime She Cries-Warrant Love Walks In-Van Halen Never Say Goodbye-Bon Jovi Amanda-Boston One More Try-George Michael Winners Take All-Quiet Riot If you can at least tolerate half of these songs, or even like some, that’s cool
As soon as I hear " I want you, to want, ME!" it's just groans and eye rolls from me. And so many others I cant think of at the moment, but you know as soon as you hear the first second or two. Livin on a prayer, like 10 songs by acdc that have been beaten to piss, wish you were here, start me up, rock n roll all nite, cum on feel the noise, here I go again, every breath you take, and many many more
Few from me: *Styx - Babe* *Boston - More Than A Feeling* *Heart - What about Love / These Dreams* *The Cars - Any hit off of Heartbeat City* *Scorpions - Rock You Like a Hurricane* *Bruce Springsteen - Anything after The River LP* *Living Color - Cult of Personality*
Pete, When you mention Judas Priest...I am one of the few who absolutely love 'Point Of Entry'...the entire album. Guilty pleasure, perhaps...but I think it is a strong and overwhelmingly underrated album in their discography. Thoughts?! While you have since tired for anything from the Metallica 'Black Album,' I still enjoy anything from that release. For me, the following Top 5 are too much for me: 'Paradise City' - Guns N' Roses (#1 forevermore!) 'Run To The Hills' - Iron Maiden 'Rag Doll' - Aerosmith 'Stand' - REM 'You Shook Me All Night Long' - AC/DC
Songs I don't need to hear again for a long time... "Kashmir" -- Led Zeppelin "Fly By Night" -- Rush "Rooster" -- Alice In Chains "Bohemian Rhapsody" -- Queen "Burning For You" -- Blue Oyster Cult "Heart Shaped Box" -- Nirvana" "Paradise City" -- Guns N' Roses "Who Are You" -- The Who "Jeremy" -- Pearl Jam "Black Hole Sun" -- Soundgarden "Here I Go Again" -- Whitesnake "Every Rose Has Its Thorn" -- Poison "We're Not Gonna Take It" -- Twisted Sister "Symphony Of Destruction" -- Megadeth "Cum On Feel The Noize" -- Quiet Riot "You've Got Another Thing Coming" -- Judas Priest "Girls, Girls, Girls" -- Motley Crue "See You On The Other Side" -- Ozzy Osbourne "You Give Love A Bad Name" -- Bon Jovi "The Flame" -- Cheap Trick "Dust In The Wind" -- Kansas "Jump" -- Van Halen "Start Me Up" -- Rolling Stones "Round And Round" -- Ratt "For Those About To Rock (We Salute You)" -- AC/DC "Hero Of The Day" -- Metallica "Smoke On The Water" -- Deep Purple "Gimme Three Steps" -- Lynyrd Skynyrd "Midnight Rider" -- Allman Brothers "Legs" -- ZZ Top "Slow Ride" -- Foghat "Twilight Zone" -- Golden Earring "Fly Like An Eagle" -- Steve Miller Band "Can't Fight This Feeling" -- REO Speedwagon "Wonderful Tonight" -- Eric Clapton "Rock Of Ages" -- Def Leppard "Lick It Up" -- Kiss "Hold On Loosely" -- 38 Special
U2 - With or without you AC/DC - Highway to hell Guns n Roses - Paradise City Toto - Africa The Police - Roxanne RHCP - Under the Bridge Oasis - Wonderwall Nirvana - Smells like teen spirit Almost every bands most successfull song
I think like that for Paranoid, the greatest metal riff(the intro riff played for only 4 bars) , all out assault with so much energy and power charging right through and never outlasting its stay, only 2 minutes.
What about "Hurt so good" by Mellencamp? He is worldly known for that one. It is a shame people do not take a chance to listen to more of his work. Great vid body!
Pete Pardo, THANK YOU for giving a shout out to Europe, one of my all-time favorite bands. You encapsulated everything I've tried to say to people about those 2 hit singles. That band are so much better than those songs! All the albums from 2004 onward have been very good, solid stuff. Then of course Wings of Tomorrow was their actual best LP from the 1980's, far superior to The Final Countdown.
Great rant Pete. Totally agree that hearing some of these tunes over and over is absolutely maddening. However, I would love to hear you do a rant on some other overplayed songs you are done with, but then give props to the songs that you would love to hear as their replacements. For instance, I don't care if I ever hear You Shook Me All Night Long ever again... shoot me. But the tune I would love to hear repeatedly in its place is The Salt in My Tears by Martin Briley. What about you? Instead of Paranoid, what kind of a similar, same genre type song, would give you great joy in its place? Maybe you'll consider it. Keep up the great work!!!
i like how you describe those "only want to hear the hits" people. I feel the same way about them. Every VH song would be on my list. No recent "country" act is country.
Where I work, my coworkers always turn on the"" Soft Rock"" station..This stations plays the same sappy tunes that I use their music rotation as a sort of watch..for example: it must be 2pm, because I Want to Dance with Somebody is playing.
Summer of 69- Bryan Adams Tom Sawyer- Rush Pour Some Sugar on me- Def Leppard Owner of a lonely heart- Yes Livin on a prayer- Bon Jovi Crazy Train- Ozzy Osbourne
Why is that we have we have overplayed songs we can do without ever hearing again either because we hated them from the very beginning, or we like them but over-play killed the enjoyment forever, and yet we all have certain songs we have heard a million times over and still like them as much now as we did when they were brand new? It's a strange phenomenon that suggests a unique selectivity. For example I can go the next 10-15 years and not hear, for example, "Walk This Way", "Eye Of The Tiger" and "Jumpin' Jack Flash" but I never get tired of "Tom Sawyer", "Owner of a Lonely Heart" or "Black Water" for some reason. It boggles the mind...
I worked as a stripclub DJ and although I was introduced to tons of great new bands (thanks to the ladys) the constant repetition of crappy songs was exquisite torture!
Judas Priest - You've Got Another Thing Coming Metallica - Enter Sandman, Nothing Else Matters Iron Maiden - Number of the Beast Cream - Sunshine of You Love Danzig - Mother Van Halen - Jump, You Really Got Me Deep Purple - Smoke on the Water Kiss - Detroit Rock City, Rock N Roll All Night Motorhead - Ace of Spades (GREAT song, but overplayed) Neil Young - Keep On Rocking in the Free World Pearl Jam - Jeremy Soundgarden - Black Hole Sun The Police - Every Breath You Take Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody (AMAZING song, but overplayed) Ramones - Blitzkrieg Bop Red Hot Chili Peppers - Give It Away Now Thin Lizzy - The Boys Are Back in Town
@@thorgrootsweetrabbit2244 Definately not. I have heard that Queen song far too many times to further appreciate it, from where I come from, this is the only Queen song I ever hear coming from the radio.
@@miguelbarahona6636 I haven't heard that song as much as I have heard Don't Stop me Now. Which reminds me, on what medium are we discussing overplayed? The Radio?
Kiss-I Wanna Rock and Roll All Night Derek and the Dominoes-Layla The Beatles-Obladi Oblada Phil Collins-Sussido Aerosmith-I Don't Want To Miss A Thing Pink Floyd-Another Brick In the Wall Sammy Hagar-I Can't Drive 55 Warrant-Cherry Pie Genesis-Invisible Touch
I always thought they suffered from excessively clean vocals. It gives their music a cheesy show tune vibe that's a real turn off. Too much elocution; sounds like a dork.
Paradise by the Dashboard Light by Meatloaf. ......ugh....every damn wedding, high school reunion.....followed by Let's Do the Time Warp Again......double ugh!!
I absolutely love the Bat albums (yes, even the third) *except* for that song. I seriously skip it. It's too cheesy even for Meatloaf! Ugh; no idea why people love it so much.
1)Taylor Swift Shake It Off 2)Daughtry Home 3)Carrie Underwood Before He Cheats 4)Eddie Money Take Me Home Tonight 5)Eagles Take It Easy 8)Aerosmith Livin 'On The Edge
Another great rant! Totally agree with your point about Europe. Would probably lump in the Out of This World album since it’s a Ron Nevison produced album which ruined many 80s albums Bon Jovi - Wanted Dead or Alive James Addiction - Been Caught Stealing Journey - Lights Lynyrd Skynyrd - That Smell Ozzy- Crazy Train Pink Floyd - Money Quiet Riot - Cum on Feel The Noise Red Hit Chili Peppers - Under The Bridge Rolling Stones- Can’t Always Get What You Want Van Halen - Jump
Add to list: Bohemian Rhapsody. Queen Living on a prayer. Bon jovi Here I go again. Whitesnake Pour some sugar on me. Def Leppard Wanted dead or alive. Bon Jovi I wanna know what love is. Foreigner Paradise city. G&R Shook me all night long. AC/DC

Since no one asked, here are some more Canadian Content induced played way to often songs. 1) RUSH- Tom Sawyer. Great song but Please no more until 2020 2)Anne Murray-Snowbird 3)BTO-Taking Care of Business. 4)Great Big Sea-When I'm Up 5)Trooper-Raise A Little Hell 6)Neil Young-Hey Hey My My 7)Loverboy-Working For The Weekend 8)Sarah McLachlan-I Will Remember You 9)Blue Rodeo-Lost Together 10)Shania Twain-Man! I Feel Like A Woman
Anything by Peter Frampton (especially "Do You Feel Like We Do" and "Show Me The Way"), Springsteen and Kiss. And I absolutely despise "Rock And Roll Fantasy" by Bad Company.
Baby I Love Your Way is among Peter Frampton´s most overplayed songs. But, I absolutely love Do You Feel Like We Do? for the long jam and that incredible talk box performance.
You hit the nail on the head about Chicago...such a great band in their heyday in the late 60s/early 70s...Stellar first 2 albums. Terry Kath was easily one of the greatest guitarists of all time, highly underrated. Hendrix himself was even quoted as saying that Kath was better than him...and how the band goes from that to the dredge they put out in the 80s and beyond is a musical travesty if I’ve ever seen one. David Foster was the nail in the coffin in turning them into a sellout pop act...such a damn shame
David Foster did write & produce the gorgeous Love Theme & Man in motion from the same movie. In terms of Chicago turning into a ballad act in the 80s, that's definitely true. But I still enjoy some of those Chicago songs from that latter era.
Once, I was driving around doing deliveries and I was listening to the album "A love supreme" by Chante Moore and when I came to the song "Am I losing you" I thought, hey, I've not noticed that one before, that's nice. So I rewound the tape and played it again. And again. And again. I spent close to 8 hours listening to maybe the last 30 or so seconds of the preceding song and "Am I losing you." 22 years later, I still love the song. My wife on the other hand always hated it from the first time she heard it. When we got married, I made up a tape of smoochy tunes to "add ambience" {ha ha ha} to our time away together but that was the one song she just did not like. I didn't bother again after that ! 99% of my music listening over the last 40+ years has been a solitary affair and to be honest, I've always preferred it that way. I just won't give a DJ the opportunity to turn me off songs I already like.
*Staind - It's Been Awhile* since I've heard that song, and I also never have to hear it again. At least the band did come roaring-back - literally - in 2011 with a *_great_* Metal album that really rocked and was *_heavy._*
How come no one has mentioned Creed´s "With Arms Wide Open" or Nickleback´s 'How You Remind Me"?. How about Papa Roach´s "Last Resort"? Cool song, but way overplayed back in the day. It got so old, pretty damn fast.
I don't drive a car anymore so I never listen to the radio anymore.....besides that I collect only the albums I really like and play them when I'm in the mood so they never get tired and I have about 400 albums and about 2,000 individual songs on itunes old and new in all genres. In the past few years I found some free to air stations that do old and contemporary stuff and that's background when I work. I gave up on pop music a long time ago [maybe 1990] . I must say you nailed every one of those songs as tankers in pts 1 & 2. Cheers for the rant....very cleansing.
Greetings from Canada. Although I have different tastes from yours, thanks for addressing this issue. Many of these I haven’t heard as much, but yeah, I try to ration songs I love to avoid overplay (actually hiding beloved albums for stretches of time). Still, radio stations, weddings, sporting events and clubs do what they do; so I’d like to add Yesterday, Michelle and Something by the Beatles, Sweet Child of Mine by Guns n Roses, Total Eclipse of the Heart by Bonnie Tyler (shoot me), Wanted Dead or Alive and Living on a Prayer by Bon Jovi, Night Moves by Bob Seeger, Amanda by Boston, Crazy Train by Ozzy (hockey games) and the king of overplay, Black effing Betty by Ram Jam
i'm a boomer and grew up with much of the usual classic rock of the 70's. for me it is panama by van halen (most of 1984 was way, way overplayed). by the way, for the younger people, i have NEVER been sick of hearing any nirvana! i didnt grow up listening to kurt cobain but his passing was a big loss.
@@111highgh nirvana most pivotal point in music history ; ie culmination of not one era but two, late sixties and early 80s. If anything kurt was just as aggressive as henry rollins but on an easel a professional artist with a shit ton of work
I was never a big Metallica fan, I like their first four albums just fine, but Enter Sandman has always been really weak to me. Nothing Else Matters is another one, never got into it.
Thanks to you, Pete, I took your advice and found some "other" Europe, and...............bloody hell, have I been missing out! Secret Society....and what a way to close an album! The Devil Sings The Blues! What a kick-arse song that is!!! Cheers man!
Following from my last comment, I would love to see Pete's list of songs from the 70's, counter to this video, namely...songs he would consider timeless classics from 1970-1979.
while i haven't listened 2 the radio in over a decade (& this rant series reminds me as 2 why i haven't!), i'm a huge free fan & the only song i ever remember hearing from them was "all right now".... & 2 me its more like "alright already" !!! its a great song but there are so many others. i also feel they're totally under appreciated, esp. here in the states. there is some enormous talent in that band....
Don’t worry be happy. Flash! by Queen. I’ve had the time of my life, from Dirty Dancing Love Shack by the B-52’s. Whip it by Devo Mickey, by Toni Basil Obsession, by Anamotion And what is this sudden fascination with September, by Earth, Wind and Fire?
Some random stuff off the top of my head...Stones - Sympathy For The Devil, Genesis - Misunderstanding, The Beatles - Michelle, Yesterday, & Here There & Everywhere, ELP - Fanfare For The Common Man, Tina Turner - The Best, Billy Ocean - When The Going Gets Tough, Whitney Houston - I Will Always Love You
Loved your last video and I'm so glad you've done this follow-up. Hopefully, you'll do more in this series. I basically agree about *Paranoid* and *Iron Man* although I always loved *Paranoid.* I do consciously try to not play it, though, because I don't want to get *too* sick of it.
Dear Classic Rock Radio:
There's more to Cheap Trick than "I Want You To Want Me" and "Surrender".
If you’re gonna spam I want you to want me, at least mix it up and play the studio version 😂
Don´t listen to classic rock radio. They just recycle they same old songs over and over again, until you get sick of them.

Radio and the music industry has ruined music. I agree with you 150 percent.
Any music on radio makes me barf. The industry focus tested most of these classic rock artist. Most of the songs that are played radio play to death.
It's ruined the way people view and consume popular music for sure.
Radio stations and music industry itself are the world´s worst plague to come out.
"radio only plays what they wanna play,
and when those request lines are open

I was in New York the other week and saw Pete driving with the windows down blasting Chicago’s “Your the Inspiration”. I was stunned.
Yes! Any 80's Aerosmith ballad makes me want to puncture my eardrum with a knitting needle.

Free, "All Right Now", The Police "Roxanne" and George Thorogood, "Bad To The Bone". Never again please.
I agree 100% on Roxanne, I heard A LOT of Police growing up, my mom loves Sting. I like the Police, but I couldn't ever stand Roxanne.
Ugh I cant stand Bad to the Bone
The Police has lots of overplayed songs on permanent rotation on classic radio stations: Can´t Stand Losing You, Message In A Bottle, Don´t Stand So Close To Me, De Do Do Do, De Da Da Da, Every Breath You Take. But, you know what, I don´t give a damn about it,, because The Police is my favorite rock band of all time, even if it´s way overplayed to death on the radio.
You can´t stand Roxanne. I can´t stand Mother, The Police´s worst song they´ve ever done.
All Right Now sucks, I've never liked it the first time I heard it, and I don't like it the 3,000th time I've heard it. It's a slog with no hooks.
Personally, I'm sick of "Paranoid" right on once again.

You forgot Hotel California and More Than a Feeling and everything by Bryan Adams.
I always hated the song Money.
In SoCal, you’d be the radio program genius at Jack FM by specifying these for the recurring playlist.
@@markhunter8554 Bryan Adams isn’t bad
The only disagreements I have are Led Zeppelin and Pearl Jam. Everything else, hell yes! And, thank you for mentioning Money. That song is more annoying to me than The Wall for damn sure. Ditto on Taylor Swift, Hootie and the Blowfish (I could never understand people's fascination w/them), Queen, Rod Stewart just sucks, in my opinion, and Elton John. He's always been a paint by numbers musician to me. Don't like him, don't get it!
Dunt, Dunt, Dunt, Another One Bites the Dust, another one down and another one down and another one bites the dust...
Stop it ffs, I can't take it anymore 😤
I thought it was bomp, bomp, bomp... ha ha. But I agree.
I agree- I seriously dislike that song.
Van Halen Jump and Aerosmith I dont wanna miss a thing
Just passed a boomer jogger playing Jump today for everyone to enjoy 😁
I couldn't stand Jump when it came out. My opinion has not changed. It's probably the one rock song that I genuinely despise. And they just....keep...playing it.
Cherry Pie
The theater majors everywhere also killed "All That Jazz" from the Chicago musical too.
Sweet home Alabama and Carry on Wayard Son love the bands but roll my eyes when i pass by these songs to but on my play list!!
The Stroke, Stairway to Heaven, Born in the USA,, Sympathy for the Devil, Jack & Diane
I hope I never hear Jack and Diane again. Didn't like it then, don't like it now!
Paul Schirf
Suckin on a chili-dog!
;)
I could care less to hear anything by John again 😕
"Sympathy for the Devil" for sure. Good call. It might be THE most overrated Rolling Stones song.
stairway to heaven is the best song; overplayed for a reason
Phil Collins “In the Air Tonight”
I hate this song. I can feel it boring in the air tonight....
There were three different versions of *In The Air Tonight.*
1) Original
2) Drums throughout (mixed)
3) Horns (mixed)
Mixed versions are hard to fine these days.
Might be overplayed, but i absoulely love it ❤
iiii remmmemmbba
Other than Mama this is the only other Phil Collins mouthed tune I liked
I 100% agree with you on Paranoid. Love Black Sabbath to death but that one song never did anything for me and I was always confused when I saw people talking about it like it's one of the greatest songs ever written. I'm always like "have you heard any other Black Sabbath song?"
Paranoid is a great album though.. ;-) Together with Sabbath Bloody Sabbath my personal favorites. A bit of a pity Sabbath did not play some more lighter spacy acoustic stuff like "Planet Caravan"or "Don't Start"(from Sabotage). You can hear how Tony Iommi is actually a good guitarplayer( not only the heavy riffs)
Now that you got me thinking about it:
Journey - Open Arms and Faithfully - I don't like either of them ballads
Poison - Every Rose Has It's Thorn
Metallica - Pretty much all of the Black Album except The Struggle Within
Starship - We Built This City
Wallflowers - One Headlight
Bon Jovi - I'll Be There For You
Def Leppard - Love Bites and pretty much the Whole Hysteria album
AC/DC - Thunderstruck
Santana - The Game Of Love
Scorpions - Teeze Me, Pleeze Me and Wind Of Change
You must not like ballads
@@aaronshoaf4644 Unless Marty Balin is singing them or it's 60s/70s R&B. 80s ballads are the worst.
@@JoeChewBaca there are some songs I want you to hear. You may not like them and I totally understand, but I doubt not every 80’s ballads suck. Listen to these songs if you want:
Kiss-Forever and Reason To Live
Skid Row-I Remember You

Europe-Tomorrow
Firehouse-When I Look Into Your Eyes
Danger Danger-Feels Like Love
Night Ranger-When You Close Your Eyes
Dokken-Alone Again
If This Is It-Huey Lewis
Sometime She Cries-Warrant
Love Walks In-Van Halen
Never Say Goodbye-Bon Jovi
Amanda-Boston

Give some of those a chance. You may have heard of some of those
@@aaronshoaf4644 Great list! I love (good) ballads!
I don't care what anyone says, one song I like from "The Wall"
is "Run Like Hell." That song just sounds massive.
It’s great
That is a good song. Anything from The Wall I'll listen to. Money, I've heard it once, that's enough!
...muther!
As soon as I hear " I want you, to want, ME!" it's just groans and eye rolls from me. And so many others I cant think of at the moment, but you know as soon as you hear the first second or two. Livin on a prayer, like 10 songs by acdc that have been beaten to piss, wish you were here, start me up, rock n roll all nite, cum on feel the noise, here I go again, every breath you take, and many many more
Few from me:
*Styx - Babe*
*Boston - More Than A Feeling*
*Heart - What about Love / These Dreams*
*The Cars - Any hit off of Heartbeat City*
*Scorpions - Rock You Like a Hurricane*
*Bruce Springsteen - Anything after The River LP*
*Living Color - Cult of Personality*

Pete,
When you mention Judas Priest...I am one of the few who absolutely love 'Point Of Entry'...the entire album. Guilty pleasure, perhaps...but I think it is a strong and overwhelmingly underrated album in their discography. Thoughts?!
While you have since tired for anything from the Metallica 'Black Album,' I still enjoy anything from that release.
For me, the following Top 5 are too much for me:
'Paradise City' - Guns N' Roses (#1 forevermore!)
'Run To The Hills' - Iron Maiden
'Rag Doll' - Aerosmith
'Stand' - REM

All time overplayed.......Piano man!! Please stop! Honorable mention, Wanted Dead or Alive.
Oh yeah! And that video portraying the road being such a grind with the private planes and the hotel room. What a joke.
I completely agree with you.
How about Picture by Kid Rock and Sheryl Crow
Talking about Sheryl Crow, there is one song that was way overplayed back in the day when it was released: All I Want To Do.
But Piano Man is not rock, ffs. Let's stick to the many genres that fall under "rock".
"Another thing coming" is one of the most perfect metal songs of all time...I don't get tired of it
Its been overplayed like 2 minutes"
I think like that for Paranoid, the greatest metal riff(the intro riff played for only 4 bars) , all out assault with so much energy and power charging right through and never outlasting its stay, only 2 minutes.
What about "Hurt so good" by Mellencamp? He is worldly known for that one. It is a shame people do not take a chance to listen to more of his work. Great vid body!
Very overplayed
Couldn't stand anything by Mellemcamp until Uh Huh album.
Pete your description of concert audience reactions is spot on. You can always distinguish the Fairweather fans from the the longtime, hardcore fans!!
Pete Pardo, THANK YOU for giving a shout out to Europe, one of my all-time favorite bands. You encapsulated everything I've tried to say to people about those 2 hit singles. That band are so much better than those songs! All the albums from 2004 onward have been very good, solid stuff. Then of course Wings of Tomorrow was their actual best LP from the 1980's, far superior to The Final Countdown.
Great rant Pete. Totally agree that hearing some of these tunes over and over is absolutely maddening. However, I would love to hear you do a rant on some other overplayed songs you are done with, but then give props to the songs that you would love to hear as their replacements. For instance, I don't care if I ever hear You Shook Me All Night Long ever again... shoot me. But the tune I would love to hear repeatedly in its place is The Salt in My Tears by Martin Briley. What about you? Instead of Paranoid, what kind of a similar, same genre type song, would give you great joy in its place? Maybe you'll consider it. Keep up the great work!!!
i like how you describe those "only want to hear the hits" people. I feel the same way about them. Every VH song would be on my list. No recent "country" act is country.
"Smooth" by Santana/Rob Thomas
"Give. Me. Your. Heaaaart! Make it real...or else foh-gewwaaaaabogit!"
hahaha
I would include anything from Santana, rocks most overrated guitar player
Amen to that! I used to room with a friend who played that every time he got home from work I despise that song!
+Steve It's overplayed after one listen cause Carlos keeps hammering that same riff from beginning to end.
Where I work, my coworkers always turn on the"" Soft Rock"" station..This stations plays the same sappy tunes that I use their music rotation as a sort of watch..for example: it must be 2pm, because I Want to Dance with Somebody is playing.

Burn it!
Yes i agree ,
Yes
Why is that we have we have overplayed songs we can do without ever hearing again either because we hated them from the very beginning, or we like them but over-play killed the enjoyment forever, and yet we all have certain songs we have heard a million times over and still like them as much now as we did when they were brand new?
It's a strange phenomenon that suggests a unique selectivity.
For example I can go the next 10-15 years and not hear, for example,
"Walk This Way", "Eye Of The Tiger" and "Jumpin' Jack Flash" but I never get tired of "Tom Sawyer", "Owner of a Lonely Heart" or "Black Water" for some reason. It boggles the mind...
I worked as a stripclub DJ and although I was introduced to tons of great new bands (thanks to the ladys) the constant repetition of crappy songs was exquisite torture!

I always thought they suffered from excessively clean vocals. It gives their music a cheesy show tune vibe that's a real turn off. Too much elocution; sounds like a dork.

You hit the nail on the head about Chicago...such a great band in their heyday in the late 60s/early 70s...Stellar first 2 albums. Terry Kath was easily one of the greatest guitarists of all time, highly underrated. Hendrix himself was even quoted as saying that Kath was better than him...and how the band goes from that to the dredge they put out in the 80s and beyond is a musical travesty if I’ve ever seen one. David Foster was the nail in the coffin in turning them into a sellout pop act...such a damn shame
David Foster did write & produce the gorgeous Love Theme & Man in motion from the same movie. In terms of Chicago turning into a ballad act in the 80s, that's definitely true. But I still enjoy some of those Chicago songs from that latter era.
Once, I was driving around doing deliveries and I was listening to the album "A love supreme" by Chante Moore and when I came to the song "Am I losing you" I thought, hey, I've not noticed that one before, that's nice. So I rewound the tape and played it again. And again. And again. I spent close to 8 hours listening to maybe the last 30 or so seconds of the preceding song and "Am I losing you."
22 years later, I still love the song. My wife on the other hand always hated it from the first time she heard it. When we got married, I made up a tape of smoochy tunes to "add ambience" {ha ha ha} to our time away together but that was the one song she just did not like.
I didn't bother again after that !
99% of my music listening over the last 40+ years has been a solitary affair and to be honest, I've always preferred it that way. I just won't give a DJ the opportunity to turn me off songs I already like.
*Staind - It's Been Awhile* since I've heard that song, and I also never have to hear it again. At least the band did come roaring-back - literally - in 2011 with a *_great_* Metal album that really rocked and was *_heavy._*
How come no one has mentioned Creed´s "With Arms Wide Open" or Nickleback´s 'How You Remind Me"?. How about Papa Roach´s "Last Resort"? Cool song, but way overplayed back in the day. It got so old, pretty damn fast.
I agree 100% with you. Nu metal are faux metal stuff. It´s just a parody of what REAL metal rock used to be.
I don't drive a car anymore so I never listen to the radio anymore.....besides that I collect only the albums I really like and play them when I'm in the mood so they never get tired and I have about 400 albums and about 2,000 individual songs on itunes old and new in all genres. In the past few years I found some free to air stations that do old and contemporary stuff and that's background when I work. I gave up on pop music a long time ago [maybe 1990] .
I must say you nailed every one of those songs as tankers in pts 1 & 2.
Cheers for the rant....very cleansing.
Light My Fire - Doors
Slow Ride - Foghat
My Sharona - Knack
Greetings from Canada. Although I have different tastes from yours, thanks for addressing this issue. Many of these I haven’t heard as much, but yeah, I try to ration songs I love to avoid overplay (actually hiding beloved albums for stretches of time). Still, radio stations, weddings, sporting events and clubs do what they do; so I’d like to add Yesterday, Michelle and Something by the Beatles, Sweet Child of Mine by Guns n Roses, Total Eclipse of the Heart by Bonnie Tyler (shoot me), Wanted Dead or Alive and Living on a Prayer by Bon Jovi, Night Moves by Bob Seeger, Amanda by Boston, Crazy Train by Ozzy (hockey games) and the king of overplay, Black effing Betty by Ram Jam
best example....Midnight Oil....everyone knows only “Beds are burning”.....but they did a lot of very good albums before.....and after
There´s more stuff from Midnight Oil than just "Beds Are Burning". They got lots of songs worth listening.
