Why do all college bands play the exact same songs?

This past weekend reminded me of what annoys me while watching college football all day on Saturdays.

Every band plays the exact same songs. Not to mention, every band has played the same exact 6 songs for the past 10+ years.

With the exception of fight songs and a few tradition type songs, all of the other songs are the exact same.

Seven nation army
Apotheosis
Crazy train
Party rock anthem
Thunder
Only a couple of more

I don’t understand why bands don’t get a little more creative with their song selections.

By week 4 is nauseating- feel like I’m being tortured having to listen to this shite every single game

South Carolina doesn’t even have a band, they just pipe in Techno music

A&M plays different songs. But it's the same six or so songs literally every game.

Why do 90% of college stadiums play Mo Bomba? I don't know why, its a pet peeve when there is a song that multiple stadiums play as a hype song during the game.

Playing Metallica’s “One” during an extended time out for commercials or during a review on the field would be pretty fun.

This is not a band, but I like when the Steelers play Styx's Renegade in the 4th quarter.

Youtube.com

If its a close game, the team, the fans, everyone gets hyped. And I like it because no one else does it.

That was awesome.

And it sucks donkey dicks when you realize 90% of the hits shown on the jumbotron video have now been deemed illegal.
