So Iâm from the Boston area so Boston âMore Than A Feelingâ was beat to death. But I still love the band
Framptonâs âDo You Feel like We Doâ all the high school girls went crazy for it.
Lynyrd Skynyrd âFree Birdâ PLEASE MAKE IT STOP!
Saw this today and thought it probably applies to several here. I'm guilty on all 3 counts.
â3 Classic Rock Songs That 70s Teens Definitely Overplayed
The Eagles tune I sort of enjoyed the first 50 times I heard it; I never cared for the other two, especially that Kansas tune. By 1976-77, I wasn't really listening to that kind of stuff (or even the radio) very often.

â3 Classic Rock Songs That 70s Teens Definitely Overplayed
In the world of 1970s pop rock and hard rock, nobody was more down with the then-new evolutions and sounds of music than teens. If you were a 70s teen, the following three songs likely were part of the soundtrack of your youth; and they are likely still favorites, even if they have been overplayed to death by classic rock radio in the decades since.
âMore Than A Feelingâ by Boston (1976)
This song still gets played multiple times daily on just about every classic rock radio station across America. And diehard fans of Boston, many of whom were teens in the 70s, arenât complaining. âMore Than A Feelingâ is one of the hard rock bandâs biggest hits. It made it to No. 5 on the Billboard Hot 100 after it was released in 1976.
Fun fact: This iconic rock tune took songwriter Tom Scholz a whopping five years to complete.
âHotel Californiaâ by Eagles (1977)
Well, there was no avoiding this one. âHotel Californiaâ by Eagles might just be one of the Top 5 most memorable rock songs of the 1970s, particularly the late 1970s. And teens who loved prog-leaning riffs, harmonizing vocals, and the eraâs bespoke brand of classic rock music helped propel it to the top of the charts. âHotel Californiaâ peaked at No. 1 on the Hot 100 chart and did similarly well globally. Itâs one of the most-played songs on classic rock radio today. And if you were a teen in California in the 70s, this entry on our list of overplayed songs that teens loved might just still be in your regular rotation. Nobody forgets their adolescent anthem, after all.
âCarry On Wayward Sonâ by Kansas (1976)
Hereâs another excellent example of progressive rock with a hard edge. âCarry On Wayward Sonâ by Kansas was quite the hefty hit, one that had a tinge of Southern rock to it. A classic rock radio staple for the ages, âCarry On Wayward Sonâ peaked at No. 11 on the Hot 100 chart. The song did even better on the Canadian charts. Teens in the 70s loved it. Millennial teens also came to love it, too. The track was used as the theme song for the popular television show Supernatural in the 2010s.â
There are things that can't be argued about. British bands were light-years ahead when rock music was born.
...except for "The Dude's Credence Tapes", which of course weren't so bad at all, after all.
And no, William only played a minor role in shaping my personal musical taste. RP (William) rather helped me with staying in touch with contemporary American music as it evolved over time, and especially when it was being ingenious.
He (William)'s more of a minutely chipping goldsmith who's been keeping me "in tune" with the contemporary sounds of a nation that arose only through being more nasty than others while claiming to be the morally integer (and not the villain), most often under a false pretense, yet with one's personal liberty deeply engrained into one's life. Thinking back to the end of the cold war and later, very shortly before the iron curtain fell, the "Decapitation of the Soviet System" was the officially declared target, and fantasy hasn't brought any other targets to point your fingers to until today. Not much has changed.
Asking the potential anyone to look at yourself:
Akira Kurosawa's dreams coming true through the "good ones", the democratic ones. Who'd a thunk this kind of sh.. would ever materialize!
Bruce Willis on drums, Alice Cooper on bass...
...not exactly, although the 'Bratwurst als Currywurst' was Spitze (or so I'm told).
Ask me, the singer truly earned those red and pointy, shiny shoes, and all band members the purple cross next to their silver star. And all ... überhaupt.
And realize, it ain't Putin, not Biden, nor Trump (nor the dentist) who keep fucking our lives up. - In the end it is all of us without any need for the shake of a lion's tale.

It is a risky google these days.
It was awesome how many college kids communicated with their parents by requesting this song. They'd call up and say "would you play Institutionalized? My parents are in town and I want them to hear it."
I can just picture the mom and dad trying to decipher it while their daughter (always girls requesting it for this) screams "I went to YOUR institutional learning facility!"
Today I learned that the actor who played Henry in Eraserhead was married to the actress who played The Log Lady in Twin Peaks. Yay, internet?
When I Google search "Suicidal Tendencies", I get a page with red sirens pulsing and a message telling me I should seek professional help. WTF?! Who knew Google coders were nasty music critics.

I think it's funny to know there's someone else in this town who knows that song. The station actually has someone feeding songs into the robot and some live DJs sometimes (I probably listen about 5 minutes a week). So 30 minutes after hearing it, the station owner and the Very Young Person responsible for the songs in rotation were in the store here so I said in a serious voice, "Listen, I just heard a band called Suicidal Tendencies on your radio station, what's going on?" and the owner saw right through me and just laughed.

Nursing homes are going to be very different in a few years. All punk rock and Xboxes.
