I don't really have many, but one is any time someone does the US National Anthem, which is already kinda dull, and they think they're doing us a favor by adding a few dozen more syllables to it, particularly on "banner yet wave".
We're not really impressed, please stop doing that.
Also, most covers of Hallelujah by Leonard Cohen are pretty awful, and given how many there are, that's a lot of trash out there.

Anything by Red Hot Chili Peppers. I was fine with them for the longest time, then when I switched to working retail, it seemed like no matter what radio station was playing over the intercom, sooner or later, one of three RHCP songs came on. Pop station? RHCP. Rock station? RHCP. Contemporary? RHCP. Best of the '70's - 00's? RHCP.
The only time there would be no RHCP songs was if it was set to country. Which didn't happen often because most people in the store hated country music far more than I was tired of RHCP.

You can also guaran-damn-tee when they play one of the handful of songs we actually LOVE (example, "Every Heartbeat" by Amy Grant), it is ruined by intercom calls for two price checks, someone needs help in sporting goods and a manager is needed in the storeroom.

Jar of Hearts, and that other song Christina Perri has out All of Me, by John Legend. Was never a big fan of it, anyway, but it got overplayed to hell. Someone Like You, by Adele. Also overplayed to hell Good call on 'All of Me'. It seems like it lasts twenty minutes. At the end, when he sounds like he's whining, is 20 minutes alone!!

Another song I could happily go the rest of my life without ever hearing again, That broken song by Pink with that Fun guy.
Played to death on the Radio at work..
In Fact, I could happily never listen to another Pink song again, she really is that awful.

And 'California Love' by Tupac will be used in every movie trailer where someone goes to LA or something I find most of the time it's this: Speaking of movie trailers, how many have that f***ing "Walking on Sunshine" song in them? Katrina and The Waves, ugh.

- 99% of what's on the radio today. /old man
Good Lord, Yes. At my last job, we had to have the radio station on the local Top 40 station, and after about an hour, I wanted to gouge my ears out with ice picks. For every good song or two (which, after being played 50 times in a 6 hour shift, one can get mighty sick of as well), the rest of it all has that horrible sameness to it. Over produced, auto tune filled crap that probably sounds great in a club, where all you can hear is beat, but in normal settings, it's the most joyless, empty music I've ever heard. As for classic music, though, I can go the rest of my life without hearing some of the bigger hits by Bon Jovi or Aerosmith (especially their 80's/90's stuff) again. Same with The Eagles, other than "Hotel California."

"Moves like Jagger", "Swagger Jagger", etc. Basically any song with Jagger in the title that doesn't actually feature Mick Jagger. The Rolling Stones with Mick Jagger are great. These crappy songs that try to bite off his name are not. Also any songs by Kid Rock or Train. They could all drop off the face of the earth and I'd be fine with that.

Other songs:
Most songs by Van Halen Most songs by Maroon 5 Guns N Roses - Knockin' On Heaven's Door Kiss - Rock N Roll All Night Scorpions - Rock You Like A Hurricane.
There's a story behind Rock You Like a Hurricane because I used to like that song. I used to work at Gamestop around the time Guitar Hero 3 came out and Rock You Like a Hurricane was one of the songs in the demo. And every single bloody person played that song. I think I must've heard it like 500 times by the time my employment at Gamestop was done with.

After it was used so badly in Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen.. that Green Day song that I forget the name of.
Remember the scene it was used in. Shia was on phonecall to Megan Fox in her workshop, and every time they cut to her it seemed to always at the same point of the song.

Unless I willingly play them which is usually when I don't feel like skipping them because I'm listening to the albums they're on: - Mr Brightside (love/hate how it's become a meme) - Smells Like Teen Spirit - Sweet Home Alabama - Stairway To Heaven - What I Got - Wonderwall - 21 Guns Oh shit, I forgot/blocked out 'Sweet Home Alabama'. I grew up in Alabama and I can't begin to tell you how many times I had to hear that f***ing song and band. I hate both now with a burning passion. Lynyrd Skynyrd weren't even from Alabama, so that just makes me hate it even more.

- 99% of what's on the radio today. /old man - Crazy Train by Ozzy Osbourne - Walk This Way by Aerosmith - Most AC/DC - Anything by Journey These are two of my favorite bands, but... - Enter Sandman by Metallica - Smells Like Teen Spirit by Nirvana I couldn't think of any songs at first, but you nailed it with Enter Sandman and Crazy Train. Especially Enter Sandman. It got to a point where when I'd play the Black album, it was automatic to skip to the second song. Enter Sandman is the Metallica song that you'd assume was their only hit if you didn't know much about them. It's the exact same philosophy I have with Danzig & "Mother". For my own, it's "Hey Ya" (the girl apparently orgasming annoys me), anything by Muse (well, going back to Danzig, it's just "Uprising" they ever play), these two songs that I don't know the names. One is "That's The Way It Is" because it's too frigging preachy, & an "alternative" version with that mentality because they completely butcher the part where a drug dealer gets his brains blown out on the radio.

Hallelujah is one of the many reasons I hate humanity in general, and not to get too political, but only the first part of the National Anthem is ever played (really, the song was far more anti-British than pro revolution), & because people eff up the lyrics all the time, I always prefer America the Beautiful being sung.
