I don't see the dislike for Living on a Prayer. I wish I heard it Friday and Saturday when I used to club instead of the monotonous hip hop top 40 pop they would play every weekend without fail. Bit of rock n roll would have been a nice change.

Africa by Toto.
You shook me all night long by ACDC.
We are the champions by Queen.
And Song 2 by Blur are the main ones that I can think of.

All though I still love them all.

We are the Champions falls in to my 'soft song by hard band' thing.

How are Queen a hard band? Plenty of other songs like that, Somebody to Love, Best Friend, I Want to Break Free etc

Definitely. I think they are outweighed though by hard rockers. Same as Led Zeppelin who did often enjoy a softer sound.

Titanium by Sia

Released about 8 years ago but I have noticed it been played several times in the last couple of months by a few FM stations.

Some may like it but the tune sounds too melancholic to me, I switch the station when it comes on.

Anything on triple m. Especially this song by some wanna be Led Zeppelin band, dear god.
edit: I thought the song was bad but this clip equals it. Made it to 30 seconds

Says video unavailable.

After tracking it down, and some of their other ditties, I think it would be good if it were never available.

They sound like Led Zeplin, but remind me of the saying: the bits that are good are not original, and the original bits....

The songs that always get a run at 'entertainment' sporting events, like T20 cricket or other sped up versions of regular sports.

Two that I really can't abide (and not sure how anyone can) and not even sure what the correct titles are:
"Hey baby - hoo-ha - I wanna know if you'll be my girl"
"Don't you love me baby, don't you love me oooooooo"

Oh and Will I Ever See Your Face Again? May have been OK originally, but one to be mocked when played at a party and the bogans can't resist inserting their own lyrics.

Run to Paradise by Choirboys. They have a great back catalog, but you'll never hear any of it.
 
GnR are my favourite band, but boy I skip Sweet Child 9 times out of 10. I reckon I smash AFD on my way home from work on a Friday every week and can't remember the last time I heard it. Thanks Triple M.
