anything by the Eagles.

wanna back that up son?

I will. I posted the exact same thing. The Eagles music (TO ME) is overrated and overplayed.

I will concede that they are excellent musicians, but I think they music is a bore.

Anything by Andrew WK. Is it possible to not write a song about partying? Is it that much to ask?

Three Doors Down - Kryptonite. It was a good song until the local stations played the bejeezus out of it.

POD, Creed and Deftones tend to get played way too much as well, POD and Creed because their music is all preach as of late, and Deftones because the radio stations seem to pick the absolute worst tracks off their albums and play them. Hello, can you play a song that doesn't sound like Change in the House of Flies?

I don't think you can ever play enough Tool, though they sure got close with Schizm.

Some have already been listed. I will add:

Metallica - Enter Sandman

(not so much overplayed but it has the potential to become very annoying when played more than a few times)
