I'm sure every genre has its list of overplayed songs. What gets played is up to the station (or franchise) owner. I come from the 'Classic Rock' era, and for me those songs don't even represent it. The consequence is that I don't even own a radio anymore. I have a music collection on my computer, and that's all I ever listen to. From ancient to medieval to renaissance to baroque to classical to romantic to folk to blues to country to older and modern rock. All of the songs on that list I listen to, but in the context of the albums they came on. I listen to a whole album while I go through subsim every day.
Today's album was Planet Earth, by Sugarloaf (January 1971). No hits, nothing that would ever get radio play, but it's part of the catalog by a band I liked, and it's good enough for me.
