You know the ones I am talking about. You actually liked them at one point in your life, may have even bought the record, played it on a juke box in a restaurant, sang it to yourself while you were walking the dog, etc.
Actually, very good tunes. The first few years of their existence. In 1976, 1977, 1978, etc., you had no problem with as much airplay as stations would give them.
That lasted through most of the 1980s. By the 1990s, though, a few of them are starting to stick in your craw. By the year 2000, you were officially tired of these tunes.
Now, in 2015, when any one of these songs happens to come on the radio, you'll jump chairs, tables, neighbors, ANYTHING to dash across the room to either change the channel, or turn the danged thing off.
All that being said, I would like to propose that the following 30 Classic Rock Songs be banned from all radio for a period of one year. Just one year. Then you can bring them back, one at a time, or something like that.
We'll all be happier, although we'll get less exercise for not having to leap across the room with maniacal looks on our faces.
Here is my list of 30. What would you like to add?
Cheers....

I can't believe how popular Don't Stop Believing got years after its release in the early 80's. I'm not sure what the actual reason was. I know the Whitesox used that as their theme song when they won the World Series in the mid 2000's and it was also performed on Glee.
When I first saw the title of this thread, I immediately thought of Stairway to Heaven.

You can blame "Glee" for that.
