Songs that make you change the channel

[Im The Village Idiot]

I am tired of "Stairway to Heaven" and "Freebird" ... both great songs, but vastly overplayed.

Cmon, man. I’ve heard Freebird about 100,000 times in my life and I’m hopeful I live long enough to hear it 100,000 more. One of the most honest and relatable songs about the male/female dichotomy there has ever been, all tangled into a web of self-reflection and mortality.

When I hear Freebird, this is all I see.

 

[Dr.LutherSan]

"Wagon Wheel" by Darius Rucker. I used to be a huge Old Crow Medicine Show fan, and even their version got old. However, Darius Rucker singing it just feels sacrilegious.

 

[gobigblue812_rivals29381]

To each their own. It's a classic to me.

We can all agree We Built This City is really everybody's number 1 I think.

That and Walk Like an Egyptian

 

[KYAnywhereEverywhere]

When I hear Freebird, this is all I see.

Damn, a lot of bullets in that clip

 

[megablue]

Many here might put me on ignore, but I think playing the 2001 Theme at the 8:00 timeout in the second half of games at Rupp has become a turn-off. Sorry ... just being real ...

 

[will1976]

Anything Taylor Swift

 

[Dr.LutherSan]

Hot take, but Greta Van Fleet is the most overrated band in the last 20 years.

 

[Anon1768287303]

Anything from the Beastie Boys. Always felt like it has to be some kind of joke that I missed out on.

I know this will be an extremely unpopular opinion, but I never liked Van Halen.

"know this will be an extremely unpopular opinion, but I never liked Van Halen." I'm with you on that. As an "old school" guitarist, I can appreciate the virtuosity, but Eddie's solo work never made melodic sense to me. And spare me the David Lee Roth shrieking and squealing.

 

[senonesy]

Bruce Springsteen - boy George, they're basically the same guy

Let me guess, you’re a Kid Rock guy

 

[senonesy]

Anything grunge. Absolute death knell for rock sales . Depressing and can't even tap your toe too it. Yeah I'm really old.

And man did it sell and still does. Great era of music

 

[senonesy]

Red Solo Cup. Yikes

 

[*Fox2Monk*]

I’ll say Taylor Swift actually. Not a fan. Overplayed and overhyped.

Yup, Taylor Swift is my first choice. Auto shut off.

 

[Pygmy Sasquatch]

Yep, and Neil Young is the grandfather of grunge, and still going.

 

[*Fox2Monk*]

Bon Jovi
Pearl Jam
Jelly Roll

 

[*Fox2Monk*]

Hot take, but Greta Van Fleet is the most overrated band in the last 20 years.

I don’t think so, they actually have talent and sound like good music. At least to me. It is as close to Led Zeppelin as anyone could ever get sound wise I think.

 

[*Fox2Monk*]

Yep, and Neil Young is the grandfather of grunge, and still going.

Neil young rocks

 

[Im The Village Idiot]

I love There I Ruined It. Anytime someone asks me for new music, I always send them this and say “the world needs to hear this” lol

 

[Dr.LutherSan]

Yup, Taylor Swift is my first choice. Auto shut off.

I'm not a Taylor Swift fan, but Ryan Adams did a really good cover of her 1989 album.

 

[theBlues]

Bruce Springsteen - boy George, they're basically the same guy

They're basically the same guy in the same way that Barbara Streisand and Lemmy are basically the same guy.

 

[megablue]

I am sad to see that David Bowie, Jeff Beck, John Mayall, Steve Marriott and Dave Mason are gone ... loved them !!

 

[HRPopeNstuff]

I'll start:
- Green Day. Never understood the hype.
- Black Crows. They had one hit --and it was a cover.
- 4 Non-Blondes. Should be obvious.

I have at least 100 groups/songs I'd throw in the trash before those 3. The Black Crows had a full album of hits actually.
Hit Singles

• • "Hard to Handle" (Otis Redding cover) – Reached No. 1 on the Mainstream Rock Tracks chart.
  • "She Talks to Angels" – Reached No. 1 on the Mainstream Rock Tracks chart.
  • "Jealous Again" – Major rock radio hit.
  • "Twice as Hard" – Opening track and charting single.
  • "Seeing Things" – Charting radio single.
  Btw...."Rocky Top" sucks way more than any of those songs.

Sam Halen or Dave Halen?? Big difference.

To my view, many of their deeper cuts are their best songs ... "Strutting Blues" and "Stare It Cold" are my favorites by the Crowes.

 

[Pygmy Sasquatch]

Neil young rocks

My all time favorite

 

[UKreturntogreatness]

I have a top 3 list of hated songs:

Bennie and the Jets
Cult of Personality
Born in the USA

I would replace Cult of Personality with Bruce Springsteen's, "Santa Claus is coming to town." The worst Christmas song ever sung. So, he gets two on the top 3 list.

 

[UK4Life#9]

Zach Bryan. Without a doubt. Absolutely terrible!

 

[HRPopeNstuff]

Also probably an unpopular opinion to some on here, but I HATE hearing My Old Kentucky Home prior to UK home football games.
It's a slow, boring and depressing way to kick off a football game. Does nothing for the energy level in the stadium.
Play it at the end and it's just fine.

 

[Cats4321]

Hot take, but Greta Van Fleet is the most overrated band in the last 20 years.

I had high hopes for them for awhile (Zeppelin sound), but that guy's voice has gone farther and farther off the rails. He over does everything.

 

[OliverSimmonsTwinBrother]

ACDC or Guns N Roses. They are played a minimum 2x an hour every hour on the classic rock channels.

I agree 100% ... play it AFTER the game !!!

 

[bgoad72]

Modern trash rap from big black girls that have nothing but curse words as lyrics

baby shark

Call me maybe

anything top 40 from 2000 on

Poppy Beatles

more than words

this list goes on for days

 

[yoshukai]

Anything by Rush .

 

[BlueVelvetFog]

I like Green Day. The songs are simple, angsty and anthemic. Usually just a formulaic repeated power chord riff accompanying an outstanding rhythm section. They are definitely not for everyone, but good (not amazing) music.

Billie Joe Armstrong ruins it for me.

I havn't heard baby shark for years; it's annoying but brought back some good memories.

 

[BlueWorldOrder74]

Anything by the guy named Morgan Wallen. I think that is his name. It’s just garbage. But really so so much. Any Justin Bieber song. Pretty much anything they will play on any top 40 channel. Seriously. Music since 2000 is just not that good. Yeah, old man yelling at the cloud syndrome, I get it.

 

[BlueWorldOrder74]

ACDC or Guns N Roses. They are played a minimum 2x an hour every hour on the classic rock channels.

Say what man?

 

[BlueWorldOrder74]

The song Fast Car being sang by Luke Combs. Oh my God man, if I hear that song come on I can’t turn the radio off quick enough. It’s so so so so bad. It’s literally one of the worst things I’ve ever heard. Original is descent. But he absolutely ruined whatever it had to begin with.

 

[Im The Village Idiot]

ACDC or Guns N Roses. They are played a minimum 2x an hour every hour on the classic rock channels.

I will always be a huge AC/DC fan. Can’t walk with you there. GNR was amazing for two albums and then went mid

 

[BlueVelvetFog]

Any Styx song with Dennis DeYoung
