Less Styx, more Kinks!
I never ever want to hear Styx’s “Come Sail Away” again. It’s one of those songs like Disney’s “It’s a Small World” that drives you nuts long after it’s over. I could certainly live without REO Speedwagon too; I don’t care if they’re from East Peoria or not…
On the flipside, tonight on XM’s Tom Petty’s Buried Treasure show I heard two songs that never get old:
ELO: I Can’t Get It Out of My Head [video]
The Kinks: 20th Century Man

Gotta slightly disagree with the REO. I’m not a big fan of their later stuff, but Gary’s solo during Golden Country on the “Live - You Get What you Play For” is still one of my favorite guitar solos of all time.

Granted, I never went so far as to buy one of their albums. They were way overplayed on 106. A little hometown favoritism, maybe?
