This is mostly the effect of certain songs being vastly overplayed on the radio and in TV shows and movies over the last 40+ years. I am sick of these songs, but somehow still manage to enjoy them (most of the time).

Led Zeppelin - Stairway to Heaven (this is the all time No. 1 in this category)
Black Sabbath - Iron Man
Black Sabbath - Paranoid
Jimi Hendrix Experience - Purple Haze
Jimi Hendrix Experience - Foxy Lady
Rolling Stones - Satisfaction
Guns N' Roses - Sweet Child O' Mine
Guns N' Roses - Welcome to the Jungle
The Police - Roxanne
The Police- Don't Stand so Close to Me
U2 - Where the Streets have no Names

Eric Clapton- Crossroads
Pink Floyd- like the Doors there are many but “money” def

The classic rock stations in my area never really played The Doors.

Floyd! How could I forget? I feel this way about a lot of DSOTM, but especially Money.

I enjoy all of these, but more in the contexts of the albums they appear on. "With or Without You" is a big one for me in this category.
