What Ckassic Rock Song is an Automatic Nope

[MRP]

Where to start...? There are a lot of songs and bands that are just played out for me. I usually only listen to the radio in the car, and these are things that cause me to change the station or switch to whatever CD I have in the player...

Slow Ride by Foghat
Hocus Pocus by Krokus
Boys are Back in Town by Thin Lizzy
anything by Def Leppard
anything by Aerosmith
Sweet Home Alabama by Lynard Skynard
Devil went Down to Georgia by Charlie Daniels Band
Jump by Van Halen
Sussidio by Phil Collins
anything off Eliminator by ZZ Top
Light my Fire by the Doors
anything Bob Seger
In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida by Iron Butterfly

probably more that aren't coming immediately to mind.

Brass in Pocket. I have an irrational dislike of that song for no good reason whatsoever.

[EMCE Hammer]

This one is harder for me because I don't listen to the radio anymore. But I can conjure some flashbacks

Walk this way
Crocodile Rock
Fly like an eagle
Wake me up before you....I don't even want to type it
We didn't start the fire

And to be timely, I despise the Paul McCartney Christmas song

Honorable mention: Unimaginative sports arena DJs have almost ruined Crazy Train for me

[Wee67]

Not rock, but Kool & The Gang's "Celebration"!!

If I hear that song one more time, it will 3,267 times too many!!

[Mikey]

Pop-Rhythm and Blues mood-killers chiming in …….. (note, loved them at one time)

Today, they're all re-re-re-used-commercial jingles

I Can't Help Myself (Four Topps)

I Feel Good (James Brown)

Happy Togther

Etc

[Earth 2 Chris]

I love the Beatles, but I just can't deal with "Hey Jude" anymore. I've just heard it too many times. Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Free bird" is getting pretty close to off the list as well, though it's admittedly an incredible song.

The na-na-na-na-nas at the end are what does it for me. I enjoy the rest of the song, but this is one case I'd prefer a "radio edit".

[Goblin19]

The songs you like but don’t care if you ever hear again on the radio is a whole different topic. That’s a long, ever changing list for me.

The problem is the radio plays the same things over and over ageeen, ageeen and ageeen.

Alice in Chains is the band I always notice being played to death. It's joyless stuff to get played 30 years on repeat.

[Megotastrophe]

Agreeing completely while staying vague enough that it doesn't turn political hahaha

[Hector]

It seems like Born in the USA is played most often by people who don't really get the lyrics. It was never a patriotic banger.

Ronald Reagan didn’t get it either, lol.

[danadoll]

Born in the USA.

If I hear it one more time…I swear…

That song is nauseating to me and so, so overplayed.

My automatic nope not gonna listen for classic rock is Eye of the Tiger. Those opening chords are like every 80s and 90s montage blurred together and I just can't anymore.

It did lead to this though.
