RANT- Overplayed Songs We Never Need To Hear Again!

Join host Pete Pardo for another edition of his 'rant' series, this time looking at overplayed songs that we never need to hear ever again!

[@erichaynes7502]

What I've learned today: Pete goes to WAY TOO MANY weddings!

[@tentringer4065]

Everyone needs a hobby.

[@palacerevolution2000]

LOL that's exactly what I got out of it too

[@dinekevinke2268]

Something tells me he isn't going to any wedding soon...🤔

[@stevenhanson1454]

This is like going to 5 consecutive weddings on a Saturday I would rather be watching a baseball game. By the time they got to the last song "One Less Lonely Person In The World" I was hoping it was a murder-suicide song. Nope, just another icky love song. Air Supply Greatest Hits album review. I memorized that back in the 1980's. Minneapolis Tribune.

I went through a tough divorce when that song came out. It played at every club, I went to with my two buddies, who were also getting divorced. To this day, I can't listen to that song without hearing the chorus that we the made up. My roommate and my best friend, got me through a very heartbreaking time in my life. We shared long talks, a few tears, some really big laughs, good times, drinks, played music together and even traded dates a few times. Whoa! I'm half way there Whoa! I don't fucking care! Take my wife, I hate her, I swear Woah! I don't fucking care! RIP, Brian. You were like a brother to me. Cheers to the good times, bro.

WJ: I'm 55. When I was in high school and in my 20's the rock stations were "AOR"; Album Oriented Radio'. You heard album tracks, B sides, live recordings. It was a golden time for rock. Now the stations are assigned frequencies based on the # of songs in their play lists; 97.3 FM has 97 songs that they play over and OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER. 💥🔥(Me blowing up the radio.)

[@rodsmolter5046]

Agreed, I've always had this dream of starting a classic rock radio station that played nothing but forgotten gems and deep cuts. So many great songs that have been buried while we hear the same worn out boring songs over and over every day.

Sirius/ XM plays a great variety even on their 2 channels labeled 'Classic', but for greater variety they have their 'Deep Tracks ' channel.

I lost my stomach for terrestrial rock radio after they stopped promoting new music and just became about nostalgia- somewhere around the mid 90s. I don’t have satellite radio either, but I rely on some fantastic music podcasts for my music fixes. I love Progzilla Radio and Music in Widescreen podcasts but there are loads of other excellent ones. As far as I am concerned, radio is dead.

I am fortunate to have a great station here in my area, they play between 35-40 minutes of music every hour and a ton of deep obscure tracks. No DJ’s or bullshit filler either. They have a guy on Saturday mornings for a couple hours who takes requests and the lead engineer will do a small show every now and then of the weekends but that’s it. Nothing but music as it should be, and they feature local original artists as well

[@benjaminnielsen4288]

This is exactly why I love listening to Iron Maiden so much now. They virtually have no radio play. The thing with this list of songs, is they are all good songs, and good bands for the most part. And songs like this is what gave them much of their success. Unfortunately for us listeners, they became a daily repetative occurrance. I don't even bother with requests anymore because most of the time they either can't or won't play it because its not "commercially appealing" I could go to several different bars where live bands and DJ's play the same stuff every night. Kinda sad.
