I can't stand this turd by Styx - Come Sail Away. God bless Tommy Shaw for trying to save it. But DeYoung had the fruitmeter turned to 11 on this one.

Any song by Van Halen, but especially Jump. The moment I hear that stupid fricking synth sound I’m ready to break things.

just about all of them that are played on stations named the river or the eagle or something similar.

When I was a youngster and first started listening to "old music" all those songs were awesome because they were new to me. Now I'm in my 30s and they are still gettting played 8x a day every day to where I can't listen to most of them anymore.

Anything that Boston ever recorded. Tom Scholz can EABOD, and this is coming from a fellow guitarist.

I could post a list, but won’t. The reason is I don’t hate them because they’re bad songs, I hate them because they’re so overplayed. Absolutely run into the ground overplayed.

I don't know if this counts as classic rock but every time I hear Black Hole Sun by Soundgarden I want to get out my 12 gauge and blow the radio to the next county.

Lay Lady Lay by Bob Dylan fills me with hate and anger. I really dislike Dylan's voice and the lyrics are 5th grade level stuff.

Rainy Day Women (Everybody Must Get Stoned) by Dylan also pisses me off. Wow Bob, you realized "stoned" has a double meaning, then beat that **** into the ground for 5 minutes. Genius.

I stand in agreement with the posters that point out that a lot of these songs aren't so much bad as they are just overplayed and I have grown tired of hearing them. Case in point : We're An American Band by Grand Funk. It's like it was the only song they ever recorded. All that being said, one that just grates on my nerves is "Miracles" by Jefferson Starship.

Having been fortunate enough to see many of these bands live in their heyday, I just cringe when some overplayed recording comes on. It's why I don't listen to the radio that much anymore.

And if I never hear "Riders on the Storm" again, it won't be too soon. Damn song goes on forever.
