There are times when a great song comes out. And when I say great, I mean that when you hear it, you know it’s something special, something that you want to keep on your iPod at all times so that whenever you have that yearning to hear it, it’s at your fingertips. But then there are tracks that, before it even gets on your iPod, you’ve heard it so many times that even the thought of dragging it onto your iPod makes you clench your fists and grit your teeth. With that, I present to you readers a list of ten rock and metal songs that I’ve heard more times than I could ever have possibly wanted. Check after the jump for the full list.

Also, if there are any tracks you feel should’ve made the list, leave a comment and we’ll get a second issue of this going. Warning: if your song makes me kill someone, I’m blaming you.

In no particular order:
Metallica – Enter Sandman
Okay, I get it, The Black Album is Metallica’s best selling album. It also sounds absolutely amazing. But honestly, I’m sick and tired of this song. 
Nirvana – Smells Like Teen Spirit
I could never hear this song again and it would still be too soon. But if you want a hilarious mashup, check out this version.
Drowning Pool – Bodies
A great example of overplaying the everliving hell out of a really fun song. Had it not been everywhere, I would still be able to listen to this song without wanting to shoot a puppy in the face.


Journey – Don’t Stop Believing
I’m a big fan of karaoke. I go with friends at least once or twice a month. However, there is always that one jackass that thinks they can sing this song. To that person I say this: No. No you can’t. Don’t try. Don’t even think about it. STOP believing.

Guns N Roses – Sweet Child O’ Mine
I hear the first three seconds of this song and already I want to drive icepicks into my eyes. 

Staind – It’s Been A While
If you added all the times you’ve heard this song, you’re probably approaching a full 24 hours worth of time. That’s how much they played this song on the radio. Enough is most certainly enough. 

Nickelback – How You Remind Me
Who thought this song was good? Honestly?

Lynyrd Skynyrd – Sweet Home Alabama
Again, a great song tarnished by how often it gets played. It became such an iconic song that there was a movie called ‘Sweet Home Alabama’. And what song did they put in the trailer? Do you really need to guess?

Pink Floyd – Another Brick In The Wall Pt. 2
I LOVE Pink Floyd. Hell, I did a retro review for ‘The Wall’ and the movie is one of my great films of all time. But this song drives me crazy every time I hear it. I am so sick of hearing it that I decided that I DO want an education, just to spite the damn track.

Green Day – Anything off of any of their albums
No explanation needed.

“He Walks By Night” – Listen to a Brand New John Carpenter Song NOW!

It’s a new day, and you’ve got new John Carpenter to listen to. John Carpenter, Daniel Davies and Cody Carpenter have released the new track He Walks By Night this morning, the second single off their upcoming album Lost Themes IV: Noir, out May 3 on Sacred Bones Records.

Lost Themes IV: Noir is the latest installment in a series that sees Carpenter releasing new music for John Carpenter movies that don’t actually exist. The first Lost Themes was released in 2015, followed by Lost Themes II in 2016 and Lost Themes III: Alive After Death in 2021.

Sacred Bones previews, “It’s been a decade since John Carpenter recorded the material that would become Lost Themes, his debut album of non-film music and the opening salvo in one of Hollywood’s great second acts. Those vibrant, synth-driven songs, made in collaboration with his son Cody Carpenter and godson Daniel Davies, kickstarted a musical renaissance for the pioneering composer and director. With Lost Themes IV: Noir, they’ve struck gold again, this time mining the rich history of the film noir genre for inspiration.

“Since the first Lost Themes, John has referred to these compositions as “soundtracks for the movies in your mind.” On the fourth installment in the series, those movies are noirs. Like the film genre they were influenced by, what makes these songs “noirish” is sometimes slippery and hard to define, and not merely reducible to a collection of tropes. The scores for the great American noir pictures were largely orchestral, while the Carpenters and Davies work off a sturdy synth-and-guitar backbone.

“The trio’s free-flowing chemistry means Lost Themes IV: Noir runs like a well-oiled machine—the 1951 Jaguar XK120 Roadster from Kiss Me Deadly, perhaps, or the 1958 Plymouth Fury from John’s own Christine. It’s a chemistry that’s helped power one of the most productive stretches of John’s creative life, and Noir proves that it’s nowhere near done yielding brilliant results.”
