Most overplayed classic rock group?

[AmandaRuth]

In honor of being out gardening all day and listening to the radio -

[ZombieNixon]

1. For mini

Anime muzak and Japanese pop. (Just to piss her off. :evilgrin:)

[LeftyMom]

2. Are you sure it's not Led Zepplin?

Jesus Christ, I had to take the classic rock station off my presets, because it seemed like everytime I checked it was car commercials or Zepplin.

[AmandaRuth]

3. yeah true

but i kind of enjoy Zep,

[LeftyMom]

5. Apparently the radio idjits only play two songs though

Seriously, it's either Rock and Roll or Stairway, and almost never Stairway. It's f'n annoying.

[northzax]

11. and after all

half the car commercials were Zepplin as well, right?

[LeftyMom]

14. On TV

On the radio, they're the "Surewe'readvertisingZeroPercentFinancingbutsinceyouwereadaylateonyourphonebillin1972it'llbe8.99%percentforyouandwe'lltakeyoursisterasdownpayment. Pricedoesnotincluderegistration,taxesoracar.Offerexpiresintwentyminutes" guy.

[Droopy]

4. Pink Floyd

And I can't stand them. Never did like them.

[AmandaRuth]

6. i remember when Elvis Costello played in Seattle

for the first time in like 15 years (no kidding). The tickets went on sale the same day as a Pink Floyd concert, and I had to practically fight off crazed floyd fans to get to the counter - I must have said No I am not here for floyd I am here for Elvis Costello about a thousand times to the same amazed stare as if it was beyond comprehension that another band in existed anywhere in the universe that was worth standing in line for hours to see. Floyd fans are alot like Grateful Dead fans in that way.

[Droopy]

9. I never understood the attraction

They sound like they made all their songs when they were high on heroin to me. But I better stop bashing the Floyd before I get bashed back. ;)

[giant_robot]

12. The song "Money" is going to drive me to murder...

...possibly one of the most annoying songs in the world.

[MnFats]

16. they peaked with "Careful with that Axe, Eugene."

the scream in the middle was a great joke to play on your stoned friends.

[Spirochete]

26. I know

I used to do that too. Shared the living shit out of some unaware stoners a few times, all right.

[MnFats]

31. Exactly! n/t

[Skittles]

7. Aerosmith

yes

[LeftyMom]

8. Ooh, another very good choice.

Overplayed and highly annoying.

[MnFats]

17. Journey? hard to tell the diff with Aerosmith sometimes.

And! Lynyrd Skinnerd!
Got grant that i never hear "Free Bird" again so long as I live

[AmandaRuth]

20. years ago, when we first moved from the

city to the rural area we are now, some of my smart-asssed friends bought me a Journey album. They fought they were soooo funny. Actually it was pretty funny at the time.

[Robeson]

30. The OP said, "classic rock"....

...are you sure Aerosmith qualifies as "classic"?....;-)

[Bombtrack]

33. Toys in the Attic came out 31 years ago, yeah

they're just still making successful, relatively popular music every album they continue to put out so their catelogue spans the classic and non-classic rock arbitrary line.

[Robeson]

34. Yeah, but back then, a lot of us didn't consider them "classic"....

...because we still had classic groups to listen to.

[Bombtrack]

35. back when?

There's no question about the fact that Aerosmith's first several albums are classic rock.

I really don't think a "classic rock" genre existed in any noticable form in radio or record retail in the mid 1970's.

[Robeson]

36. Aerosmith was not considered a "classic" group from people who...

...grew up on the Who, Pink Floyd, Zeppelin, The Rolling Stones, Santana, Jethro Tull, and myriad of others who were still producing quality music in the mid-70's. In those days, Aerosmith was not in their league. They were not a Super Group. They were one of many mid-level groups. They've simply outlasted the other mid-level groups from that era, IMHO....

[sendero]

10. Boston..

.. gosh I hate Boston. Brad Delp's voice could peel paint of a new Maserati.

[Bluzmann57]

27. Is there any Classic Rock station that doesn't play Boston?

I travel to Wisconsin and western Iowa as well as Missouri from time to time and I had the same damn song from Boston in three different markets! And to think I actually liked this outfit once. Boy, those must have been better drugs than I thought.

[DBoon]

28. Boston drove me straight to punk rock

nt

[Crazy Dave]

13. Van Halen

During the late 80's, Sammy Hagar era.

[NNadir]

15. Hey could you put the Eagles on your list?

[Acebass]

18. what do you have against the Eagles?...

[AmandaRuth]

19. just not to my taste

never did care for that kind of laid back california rock and roll. Music seems to strike different people in different ways.

[Acebass]

25. It shows LOL...

I love all forms of music, as long as it's music...

the bass is for my singing voice not my love of fishing...LOL

[Gatchaman]

21. Lynyrd Fucking Skynyrd

Pink fucking floyd, led fucking zepplin. If I never hear any of them ever again, it'll be too soon.

[joeprogressive]

22. The last town I lived in, it was definitely Led Zep

They got played about twice an hour. As far as Stairway, a DJ friend of mine told me there was an unwritten rule not to play it. If you did, you weren't cool. Now, that once overplayed song is really underplayed. I love The Eagles no matter how much I hear them. I have really stopped listening to much music since AAR. However, I have started collecting LP's of classic rock to play on my vintage stereo in my retro room.

[Fenris]

23. I love you and I love this poll.

:thumbsup:

[AmandaRuth]

24. shucks

i'm speechless....:hi: :hi:

[GoddessOfGuinness]

29. I was going to say Eagles

even if you didn't have them listed 5 times.

[Bombtrack]

32. AC/DC, Van Halen, or Ozzie/Black Sabbath eom

[njdemocrat106]

37. I like the Eagles, but am definitely burned out on "Hotel California"

I think Led Zeppelin are the kings of overplayed. Good band, but they've been burnt to a crisp by classic rock radio.
