Kid Gleason Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 (edited) I was driving home last night and a song came on the radio. When it first started I thought to myself "wow, what a great song!" Then I realized it had been years since I had heard it, and I also realized how "overkilled" the song was on it's initial release, and how much people had grown to hate it way back when. And that got me to this question. What songs, when you first heard, you loved. Then due to becoming huge hits, you grew to hate, and now after all these years you can hear again love like you did the first time. The song that prompted this? Jefferson Starship - Find Your Way Back I'd like to hear any of todays "great vocalists" sing that friggin' song! Amazing to say the least!

Gene Honda Civic Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 A lot of Pearl Jam. I never was a big fan, largely because they were so overplayed. Now that I don't hear them often, largely because I hardly ever listen to the radio, i recognize how good they really were. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Middle Buffalo Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 If you listen to the radio frequently for long periods of time, you'd be hard pressed to find a song that isn't killed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Critic Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 I'd say "More Than A Feeling" by Boston qualifies for me as a song that I heard way too much of for a while, and then not at all for a while. I put the CD on the other day and remembered how much I love that song. That whole first Boston disc, for that matter. And the second one. But not much after that.

Boston is definitely something that was overkilled. However, there's not a bad song on that first album. And Sib rocked a mean afro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I swear that I've heard it 15 times this week alone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyyle23 Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 Man, I could go into a song a year for the past 10 years probably. I will just name some random ones I can remember getting insanely played out The Verve- Bittersweet Symphony THe B- 52s - Love Shack Enter Sandman- Metallica The ENTIRE Californication album- Red Hot Chili Peppers Freshman - The Verve Pipe anything from Nickelback anything from Creed Ill think on this and get back, i know I have many more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlaSoxxJim Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 Losing My Religion and Andy Kauffman by REM, anything from the first couple of Oasis albums that got airplay, No Rain by Blind Melon are a few. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LosMediasBlancas Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 Every five years or so I rediscover Van Morrison. I wouldn't say radio has over played his music, but too bad a LOT of his songs are the soundtrack to a LOT of chick flick, romantic comedies. His music is kind of a guilty pleasure for me.

There's nothing guilty about it. Other than a small handful of stuff that got killed by overplay I like listening to almost all his stuff, except for the stuff he put out through most of the 80s which was decidedly weak.

YASNY Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 I got so overly burned out by Fleetwood Mac when "Rumours" came out that I couldn't or wouldn't listen to them for 25 years or so. Eventually, I was able to give them another listen and they are among my favorites now. Boston, Foreigner and REO Speedwagon come to mind as groups that were also played to the point of overkill. Also Journey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LosMediasBlancas Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 AC/DC: "Shook Me All Night Long". I could listen to first 20 seconds of that song for hours and hours, just the drums and that killer riff. THAT, my friends is rock n roll. Too bad it's also a College bar anthem.

Creed and Nickelback, no way. Working at a mainstream rock station for 4 year REALLY made me change the type of music I like. I would like to add: Filter - Hey man nice shot quite possibly one of the best industrial F*** You songs of my generation Nine Inch Nails - Closer I never stopped loving NIN, but it was a while before I popped The Downward Spiral in and failed to avoid track 5 Stone Temple Pilots - Plush When the album Purple came out, I think I put down Core for at least 7 years.
