If I understand the rules, it's good songs that should be retired? Shitty songs like Black Eyed Peas "I Got a Feeling" or Celine Dion's "My Heart Will Go On" or most everything by KISS are obvious choices to destroy all copies and let us all take roofie to forget they existed. But decent songs is more of a challenge. Stuff from the 60s that Boomers have ruined thru over-exposure seems the most obvious. The Turtles' "Happy Together" is an okayish 60s pop tune but is now associated with hawking everything from cookies and cars to tampons and cruises.
Exactly many songs should have never seen the light of day. I think for this list it is the widely accepted classics, many of which I dont care for anyway (Freebird, Stairway, and some of the others mentioned) Although some of these songs id never heard of.

Id want to add Layla and probably a few other Eric Clapton songs, any Grateful Dead song that the average person knows, anything by Journey that has been popular, holy shit I could put together quite a list as I think about it.

Rule of thumb: If there's a good chance you'll hear it at a football or hockey game or a wedding reception, it should be sent for a long time-out.

Flex will stand up for the music of my wedding reception. It was great. It was the music of his people.

There is a post-post-hardcore now?
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

This reacquainted me with the term "happy hardcore", and im anything but happy about it, bullshit techno mis-appropriating the term hardcore.

Liam Gallagher says he’ll deliver a second solo album
