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

I only like a few of these. Hard to pick just one to remove.

Definitely Livin on a prayer. It’s not only overplayed on classic rock it’s also overplayed on adult contemporary stations and any 80s related Radio show or station.
