When I was in high school, and even later, I used to like the song "The Zoo" by The Scorpions. Now, I can't even listen to it thanks to classic rock stations. I can listen to any other Scorpion song, but "The Zoo" makes me want to stab a spork in my eye. (Sporks do less damage than forks; it's a fact).
Now, I don't own any albums by The Scorpions, but I enjoy their music and even went to a concert once. It was 20 years ago, but still. But, thanks to radio, that song has been killed. At least to me.
My question to you: What song, or songs, has radio killed for you? Don't worry about being embarrassed about the song; I put up a Scorpions song for Pete's sake.

There are several songs off of Steve Winwood's The Finer Things album that I love, but get squirmy listening to because they were so overplayed 20 years ago. A pox on commercial radio and its restrictive corporate playlists!
I'm one of those people who, if I like a song, can listen to it over and over again. The only thing that bugs me about radio is when they keep playing songs I don't like. :P
Unfocused: You know, I haven't heard a Winwood song in a while, but you are right, there was a lot of airplay on some of those songs.
DC: For the most part, I'm the same way. Maybe I never really liked the song that much?
Killed how? Did they just overplay it, or do they play some lame "remastered" version of it or something?
You made it to a Scorpions concert?? I totaled my 1977 firebird (yeah, baby!) on the way to a Scorpions concert about 15 years ago. Needless to say, I didn't make it to the concert. Man, was I bummed about that car too!
Dreamybee: Just over-played. I can't stand it anymore.
I saw Scorpions at a Monsters of Rock festival in '88 or '89. It was a fun show, but a little long.
