Stairway to Heaven by Led Zepplin has to be the hands down winner.

 

Others would be:

Rock 'n Roll All Night by KISS

Shook Me All Night Long by AC/DC

Free Bird and Sweet Home Alabama by Lynard Skynard

Smoke on the Water by Deep Purple

Yesterday by the Beatles (which is the most played song on the radio of all time and the most covered)

really? I didn't know that it was the most played since I don't catch that often but ALWAYS catch Enter Sandman or Sweet Home Alabama...

Imagine - John Lennon. But it's not even that great, at all.

Lust for Life - Iggy Pop

 

Being in so many commercials and crap not only overexposes it, but cheapens it severely as well.

Just turn on FM radio. If you hear a song you like, keep listening, it will be on AGAIN in an hour or so.

When will more people realize that FM radio is a wasteland

I'd agree with most of the songs listed so far.

 

A current one that's getting overplayed is "Like A Stone," by Audioslave. I think it's a tremendous song, but it's on *all the time* now. I'm not sick of hearing it yet, but I get the feeling I will be soon.

'Chop Suey' by SOAD

Santana's"Smooth" was alright, the first few times...same with "The Freshman" by the Verve Pipe

Currently: "In Da Club" by 50 Cent

 

All time: "My Heart Will Go On" by Celine Dion. It is a song I don't like but most over exposed.

 

But song I like that is the most over exposed goes to hands down no ifs, ands, or buts, "Thriller" by Michael Jackson.

I love 2pac's music but California Love just irritates the hell out of me.

 

Enter Sandman, anytime I hear that song I just want to beat myself over the head with a tire iron.

 

A couple years ago Incubus' "Drive" was played like every half hour. I don't listen to the radio but my parents do, everyday I'd wake up and that song was on the radio, it was like the movie Groundhog Day except it wasn't Groundhog Day. I actually like Incubus but even that was too much.

the local radio station would alway play Spin Doctors songs forever.

 

Not sure of the name of the song but it has "Rosa" repeated several times I think it was by the band MANA or La Mafia for you Spanish music lovers. And the song "La Bomba" great video but damn it the radio station plays it too much.

Rando: The Way was FAR more overplayed.

 

the only thing on FM radio that I enjoy is Howard Stern. Nuff Said.

 

:;makes a mental note to get a head cleaner/de-magnetizer for the old tape deck in his car::

I'd say you're right, but I think "Bad to the Bone" is equally as bad.

Dude, you were in the "Depressing song" thread saying that Freshmen is great...

I love the Freshman...but I got way sick of it after a while. I think I mentioned in the thread that I had reciently heard it again, and was able to like it again.

 

I like the song...but for a while I got sick of it
