Looking for some ideas.

We know no Beatles which is why they can't possibly be the best band of all time.

I hear Nickelback songs at tailgates so surely they're in the discussion for best of all time, right?

In all fairness, I'd rather hear Nickelback at a tailgate than Lovely Rita or Octopuses Garden

You will do best when you get stuff that embodies "classic" without also being overplayed.

Good place to start would be to rule out anything 98.1 ever plays. Take their entire playlist and shitcan it right off the bat.

Play Lovely Rita at a tailgate. It is sure to be a big hit.

Of course.
I was responding to a specific post. At at tailgate, some NB songs would be preferable to some Beatles songs.

Many, many Beatles songs would be great at a tailgate. Some would be crap.

Kiss would be great too, but I'm not playing Beth.

Any CCR should go over well.
