Remove one of these songs from classic rock radio

Some people hold the belief that classic rock is great, but classic rock radio, not so much. Mainly because most of them rarely play deep cuts, and often only play a few songs by most artists (there are a handful of exceptions, the most obvious exception being The Rolling Stones; after all, you know what they say about The Rolling Stones..."If you ever get in the mood for The Rolling Stones, just put on your local classic rock station and wait about five songs or less."

I came up with a list of songs classic rock radio beats its listeners over the head with. Which of these songs would you retire from classic rock radio forever if given the chance?

AC/DC - You Shook Me All Night Long
Aerosmith - Dude (Looks Like a Lady)
Bachman Turner Overdrive - Takin' Care of Business
Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band - Old Time Rock and Roll
Bon Jovi - Livin' on a Prayer
Bryan Adams - Summer of '69
Def Leppard - Pour Some Sugar on Me
John Cougar Mellencamp - Hurts So Good
Kiss - Rock and Roll All Nite
Led Zeppelin - Whole Lotta Love
Lynyrd Skynyrd - Sweet Home Alabama
The Rolling Stones - (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction

Easily the AC/DC song. Any any other AC/DC while you're at it! I never liked them.

This is hard because I pretty much can't stomach any of the songs (or artists) on this list however, you did include a song in my top 5 most hated songs that I change the station within the first note or two. That would be Old Time Rock and Roll!!!! 🤢🤢🤢🤢 I NEVER liked that song.

I also never liked Dude Looks Like A Lady, Summer of '69, Pour Some Sugar On Me🤢, Satisfaction.

The rest on your list I no longer can listen to with the exception of Whole Lotta Love and maybe Hurts So Good, but even those I only leave on the radio if nothing else is on. I rarely listen to the radio and opt to listen to my playlists instead.

Fun thread 👍🏻

Haha good list of songs I also get irritated by.

But the most annoying of all of those has to be Summer of 69!

Get rid of it!

Anything by Garbagesmith is un acceptable. They belong on the gallows.

Mellencamp - Hurts so good. Just because its a bad song.
I will defend Sweet Home Alabama till I die, just because it is immortalized in Con-Air and reminds me how awesome that movie is.
