I couldn't for the life of me remember which one it was... so I threw the most common name out. LOL

In the category of songs that were never all that good to begin with, but were crushed under the weight of heavy rotation, 1980-1995:

Summer of 69 - Brian Adams

____________ - Steve Miller Band

We Built this City - Starship

Your Love - Outfield ("JOSIE'SONAVACATION FAR AWAY")

Jack and Diane - John Cougar Mellencamp (not as terrible as others, but this song is playing on five classic hits stations at any given time.  Also, I object to the imagery evoked by the line "suckin' on chili dogs")

I would do anything for love.
I would do anything for love.
I would do anything for love.
I would do anything for love.
I would do anything for love.
I would do anything for love.
I would do anything for love.
I would do anything for love.
I would do anything for love.
I would do anything for love.
I would do anything for love.
I would do anything for love.
But I won't do that - Robert Paulson

[RAT900]

Did we get "Born To Be Wild"....I see Steppenwolf was quoted previously above

now this is one that might seriously contend with Stairway to Heaven....may fall short of Stairway....

but certainly trumps "Baby We Were Born To Run" which was a flogger in its own right

[DesmoLu]

this is a good thread that *very* seriously reflects the age of posters 

on that note, I have to chime in that anything Disco is overplayed because it should never have been played in the first place.

In the category of waaaay overplayed relative to other, better songs by the same artist.  Or, worst = most popular song by the artist.

Losing my Religion - REM

Under a Bridge - Red Hot Chili Peppers

Today- Smashing Pumpkins

Been Caught Stealing - Jane's Addiction

[Desert Dust]

55 going on 60

Bachman Turner Overdrive - Workin' for a Livin'     

M.C. Hammer - Can't Touch This

very true...I think the traditional reliance on radio has diminished significantly in the face of all the alternative media(s)...

people are less subject to massive overplay and do not necessarily rely on airplay to find good music

almost like "network TV" in the age of 11-ty billion cable channels

[B.Rock]

Teach him The Good Ship Venus..actually just play it for him....that'll give his parents a real shock [posted it on the Listening thread....]

Friggin` In The Riggin` Video
For a fun twist.

Around here commercial radio plays Pink Floyd incessantly, as well as random crap like "Blinded by the Light" as mentioned before.
