I remember being shocked when I heard REM's "It's the End Of the World...." on the Chicken Little soundtrack. Weren't they once at the vanguard of alternative/college rock?

As Roberto Duran once uttered, "NO MAS, NO MAS!"

Anything from Supertramp's Breakfast in America. I was "in" radio at the time these guys peaked with that album. I heard it EVERYWHERE--and enough.

Free Bird--In Central Nebraska, it was the Theme Song for all of the Goat Ropers. And there were lots of them.

Jacko--"She's Out of My Life." Really? Do I need to add anything?

Wanted to note that I have been joined in my crusade to banish "Freebird" by Colin Meloy of the Decemberists. From the post below:

"Turns out, Meloy holds board membership on MACOF, which stands for 'Musicians Against the Calling Out of Freebird.' He claimed executive status within the organization in 2006, after fellow uneducated fans would request the classic-rock anthem."

Don't know much about the Decemberists. And I am not a musician, so I cannot join MACOF. However I will support their cause!

Physical by Olivia Newton-John, We Will Rock You/We Are The Champions by Queen. Love Queen, but I think these have been played at every sporting event on the planet since 1977.

Just about every "hit" by the Steve Miller Band. Those songs are automatic channel changers in my world. Talk about a classic rock artist being played ad nauseam to the point of over-kill!
