Top 10 Popular Albums That I Never Need To Hear Again 

Never get tired of playing Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon, AC/DC Hells Bells, Any Led Zeppelin album or the First Boston Album - They are all iconic, legendary and simply awesome.

What is crazy about this is that I don’t hear theses overplayed songs that much anymore because I don’t listen to the radio very much. Between pay to hear radio services and my own personality made playlists or mixes ….leaves little time for that aggravation.

Appetite for Destruction hands down! Love the album just played to death.

I bought the Darkside of the Moon immersion box set. I thought it would take me weeks to listen to all the versions I wanted to hear. 2 days later I had listened to the remaster. The alternate mix. The live version. Then I listened to the Blu-ray audio and Quad version. Never thought I could listen to an album 5 times in 2 days but it never got old. Crazy

Thanks Brendon, Solid video as always. The two albums for me are Hysteria and Appetite For Destruction. Don’t get me wrong, I like both of these albums. I am just burned out on Welcome To The Jungle and Pour Some Sugar On Me.

I was a new wave kid growing up, so it was in much later years I got into Zep and Floyd, so they still sound fresh to me. The Mellon Collie I still play in autumn, it fits and also that vinyl set I purchased for $75 has turned out to be a great investment! Great video, keep on rockin!

I will definitely be playing Led Zeppelin 4 again!

Mellon Collie is like Pet Sounds and Abbey Road (along with a few other Beatles albums) in the sense I can listen to them endlessly. I always seem to discover something different when listening. I think you're spot on with Nevermind, Hotel California, Back In Black, and Dark Side of The Moon. For me (and like you I'm only including bands I either love or are considered legendary by others) I've gotta throw in Out of Time by REM, Blood Sugar Sex Magik by RHCP, and anything by Aerosmith.

Great video Brendan. I think Def Leppard Hysteria is also worth a mention on that list

Oh man. The vocals on Great gig in the sky put it in another world for me. Brings me to tears every time. 😍 Pyromania would be one of my choices

In my case, it's probably more songs from those albums than the full album itself. They all have enough deep cuts that I still enjoy listening to. A good album is always worth listening to imo. I wish AC/DC would release a Live album from that tour with Axl, I think that'd be awesome! Cheers.

Great video Brendon. For myself since I was born and raised in Chicago I was stuck in "Classic Rock Hell". One radio station in town we use to call the " Zeppelin,Pink Floyd,Rush and Van Halen" station. In other words everytime you'd turn it on you'd hear one of those four bands or all four withing 5 to 15 minutes. So the albums I love and don't need to hear again: 1. Pink Floyd - The Wall 2. Rush- Moving Pictures 3. Van Halen- 1984 4. Led Zeppelin - Pretty much 1 through 4. The other issues was that those four bands not only were overplayed but the same 4 or 5 songs were played. Ugh... I with you on the Eagles for sure as AC/DC BNB as well as Metallica 's Black Album. Again all great albums but I just don't need to hear them.

I like that you made this list! These days, I hesitate to watch those "Best Albums" list videos because I know one of these albums is going to be at the very top! I totally agree with you on "The Great Gig in the Sky". I've heard tons of people talk about how "beautiful" and "moving" that song is. Maybe I'm just a jerk, but for me that lady's vocals get tiresome very quickly (which is too bad because I really love the production and instrumentation on that track). The rest of the album is pretty cool, though.

For some reason I have never gotten tired of Boston's first album and I bought it when it just came out new lol.

I am sure that Cobain's suicide did add to his notoriety but I do remember him being a huge star even before that happened. Just to give you and American music fans here some context. You have to remember, I am not even from the USA- I was a teenager in the early 90s and I grew up in a rural provincial part of England. Everyone knew Nirvana and knew who Cobain was, and everyone was copying him, right down to his haircut. He was really the last iconic global rock star - even before his death. People often say the suicide gave him the notoriety, I am sure there is some truth to that particularly in terms of the legacy there has been since, but I clearly remember how huge Kurt/Nirvana were even before that, and his death was a main story on the British national news bulletin.

Bon Jovi - 'Slippery...' and Def Leppard - 'Hysteria'. Absolutely loved them when they came out, but every note has been stuck in my head forever since.

Hi Brendon love the channel, I feel the polar opposite I have never got this thing about oh I never need to hear that again....but I love it. If I love an album then I'm playing again & again. I own all those albums & never ever tire of them. Cheers for the videos keep up the good work.

I've listened to DSOTM (and other "until The Wall" albums from Floyd) almost on a daily basis since 1988 or 1989. And can't get tired of it (/them).

Brendon your channel is just cool man, it must be cool to just talk about what you love and just share it and gain a following of viewers/ subscribers. I get a lot of info from you and just listened to a Rat album you mentioned on Top 10 On an Island albums, and Im literally getting introduced to so much cool music and to me New music.

Great show good commentary. I own all the albums you spoke of and I agree with everything you said. ✌🏻

Many of those you have mentioned I own but probably haven't played for maybe 4 or 5 years. I play Hotel California and Rumours at least 3 times a year as they are both perfect and are special to me. Albums/songs can provoke memories of great times/friends and sometimes I need to hear them and I guess I always will. Good topic though, your choices were interesting.

At least once a year I'll give ZOSO a spin, front to back. It's fantastic. A lot of these albums that you list, if heard on a very good sound system, are like a journey. Mostly it's the overplayed singles that are the problem...a lot of them, when blended in with the entire album are quite nice.

Shocking Top 10 list. 😀 But I totally understand the point of this list. It's those big hit songs that's played everywhere that often makes you tired of an album. I often go and listen to those "forgotten" amazing album tracks like "22 Acacia Avenue" from the Iron Maiden's album etc. 😎

I've felt the same way about certain albums before. Then I'll come back to them after a few years and in some cases they were BETTER than I remembered. I think moderation in listening can go a long way.

Great idea for a video. Do songs next!!

Again, fun idea for a video....I'm really surprised "the joshua tree" didn't make the cut. For me there are songs I don't need to hear again even though they are great, like "sweet home alabama" " stairway to heaven" or "the number of the beast".... and then there are songs I can still listen to even though I've heard them a thousand times like Jumpin' jack flash and a host of Rolling Stones songs ( except Honky tonk woman, this one I really don't need to hear again)

Number Of The Beast is Maiden's best album, and metal's finest hour. NOTB is like Plato. There are thousands of philosophers that came after Plato, but almost all of them just restate Plato's arguments. NOTB is an album that showed everyone how intense and melodic metal can be and needs to be heard at least once a quarter if someone calls themselves a metal fan. "Watch him Die, According to plan, He's dust on the ground, What have we learned???" That is awesome!!!

Hi Brendon When I Grew up here in Sweden in the 70's We had no Rockradio only 1 or 2 programs a Week only 1 hour at the time So I have never heard the best songs too many times Coz Swedish radio always lookt down on Rockmusic So still today I play songs like Smoke on the Water - Deep Purple

Brendon, I really enjoyed this video. It shows me that you’re an oddball just like me trying to stay away from all the popular songs not that we hate them but got “overplayed” example: instead of Hotel California I always go for “One of these nights” although there are songs on that album that got overplayed as well I always tend to reach for that one. However I enjoy all the old album from debut to the long run. I would probably get criticized for never putting Hotel California as my #1 album. It would come in somewhere mid way. And it’s not that I don’t like the album. End of Rant/comment.

Great one Brandon..i am in agreement wt yr sentiment..in fact some of these albums are kept to one side never needed to be heard again. Though i do think there are still a lot of gems not played on radio in some of these.

Hey brendan great show as usual. I have about 5000 cds and 300 vinyls. Only bands that i enjoy....!!!! mainly hard rock and metal. All complete discographys. Gave away 3000 cds of bands like eagles u2 twisted sister motley crue kiss europe which i couldn't stand anymore.I have only music which i enjoy 100%. .

Interesting topic. I used to "overplay" certain albums when I was younger but now with time in short supply, it doesn't happen as often. I can probably recite DSOTM, Zeppelin IV, and Electric Ladyland verbatim, but still enjoy spinning them only once or a couple times a year..still enjoyable after all these years.

I must confess I don't have all of these albums in my collection. I agree with you on Aerosmith, Nevermind and Pink Floyd (I never really liked DSOTM and I gave my copy years ago away). But you shocked me with LZ! Just listened to it some days ago and ... yes I can still listen to all songs on it.

This was a fun topic. We all hear these songs on the car radio and don't drive home to hear them again. For me there can be years in between listening to stuff like Def Leppard Hysteria; but then when a box set is released I got to have it. 😆

Another great one, Brendon. I love Def Lep but if I never hear "Pour Some Sugar On Me" again it will be too soon! I grew up with High N Dry and Pyro and I thought those albums were overplayed, but nothing compared to Hysteria! ;p(

Great list, Brendan. Agree on several, with 1 exception. Won't listen to Get a Grip because when i reach for Aerosmith, it's my 5th or 6th choice.

I can relate, there are albums I love and I will defend all the time. I start playing them and at the first song the whole album runs throught my head and somehow I feel there's nothing new I can gain for listening to it.

One album I'm guessing that is probably overplayed is Springsteen Born In The U.S.A. I just got that album in the mail.Finally overcame his political views i do remember seeing videos of this on Mtv but I'm finally diving into Springsteen and I do love this album been playing this constantly over the last several days

Oh my sweet Jesus!. I would NEVER EVER get tired of "Back In Black", "Dark Side Of The Moon", "Hotel California", and "Led Zeppelin IV". Even if they are overplayed. I don't really listen to the radio that much because I have my own personal playlists with different styles of music to fit my mood.

Fleetwood Mac - Rumors, AC/DC - Back In Black, ZZ Top - Eliminator, Van Halen - 1984, Def Leppard - Pyromania.

The problem is when you hear the music on the radio and your not in the mood for it.

I would say Appetite For Destruction is one I never need to hear again. I never tire of Dark Side of the Moon for some reason.

Me and my ex wife had an inside joke where we would say “this song is on the list.” “The list” are songs that are technically GOOD, but you just never need to hear again. Smells like teen spirit, enter sandman, more than a feeling, bohemian rhapsody, stairway to heaven, hallelujah, sweet child o mine, even flow… the list goes on…

Hello. Enjoyed the video. I always preferred, "Pump," over "Get a grip." I think the music is better overall and better produced to my tastes .

It's unsurprising that Nevermind by Nirvana is gonna be mentioned in this list. I picked up the guitar through that album when I was 11 years old during 2009, and it's a great album from start to finish. However, Smells Like Teen Spirit isn't the reason why I picked Nevermind as my favourite Nirvana album, I only picked Nevermind only because I picked up the guitar to that album and that it had a profound effect on me growing up. Great video Brendon!😁👌You did a fantastic job on making it.

Good for you Brendon…this took some courage and I knew when I finished watching I’d see some negativity in the comments. I’d like more of this from the channel actually- especially thoughts on remastering/CD audio quality for reissues, box sets (missing tracks, could it be better), etc. You can’t possibly be expected to like everything so let us know if something is bad and not worth buying, and of course, when it’s earned your recommendation.

When you say you can't put an album on and hear something new, try listening closely to just one instrument all the way through, or maybe follow the harmonic rhythm or time changes (Rush, I'm looking at you) or some other structural aspect of the song. Something new might pop out. Better yet, if you play an instrument, try to learn the song, and it will suddenly be fresh again.

I was surprised but understand Hotel California being on this list. A lot of these, not so much the album but songs related to, I do tend to skip more often then not. Def Leppard's Hysteria was one I had trouble with for a while thanks to Pour Some Sugar on Me being played (seemingly) every hour on the radio.

I'm glad I'm not the only one that gets burned out by an album. I have a couple of those on my list too!

haha. Led Zep 4. I just bought a copy of that. Big roots to my childhood, party on Garth!

Good and solid video, overplayed albums indeed, but good songs there. 🤘👌

100% agree with all your picks. I'm sure the 1st Boston album is up there as well😂.

great video! im not usually up this early...do you like Amon Amarth?

i have one main rock radio station in my area, theyve played the same 40 songs for 40 years... so unfortunately, i understand exactly what ur on about bro... if i never hear stairway again, im good with it... thanx

Nevermind is the most played pre 2000s album on Soptify, I guess most people haven't gotten sick of it yet. Smells Like Teen Spirit still averages almost 1 mil plays a day.

Hi B: I find myself rather fatigued on Aerosmith in general. I traded away the CDs and I just do not miss them. Someday I may reinstate some 1970s albums on vinyl, but I am in no real hurry. I had G&R Appetite For Destruction as brand new vinyl back in the day and it is in my current CD collection, but I just never need to hear it again. Axl has always been tedious and even Slash is a tad overexposed these days. I hope that you don't hate me now. 😃. The main hit songs are played way too much on local rock radio. Somehow DSOTM never seems to get old for me, but I don't play it that often these days. I have it on ordinary vinyl (with poster and stickers) and remastered CD,. The same goes for Led Zep IV. I have not played it in years. Stairway To Heaven came on the radio a few days ago and I cranked it. 🔥. - Heather

Amazing video:)

I enjoy your videos about record stores and new purchases more. Cheers

Nice Video, and I agree with some of your choices. But I will never get tired of Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness. This is a Smashing Pumkins gem that never gets old or boring, at least for me. I know you are a huge fan of the following band, but I never need to hear again any of the classic Poison albums. I think they sound dated and corny.

Is your copy of Back in Black the 2003 remaster or is it an earlier pressing? I've always wished the 2003 remasters came in jewel cases, but I guess at least they have been consistent with the digipak so they all look nice on the shelf.

I tend to just have individual songs I never need to hear again rather than entire albums ⬇️ Sweet Child O' mine - G'N'R Welcome To The Jungle - G'N'R November Rain - G'N'R Patience - G'N'R You Shook Me All Night Long - AC⚡DC Moneytalks - AC⚡DC Thunderstruck - AC⚡DC Bohemian Rhapsody - Queen Enter Sandman - Metallica The Memory Remains - Metallica Fuel - Metallica No Leaf Clover - Metallica Whiskey In The Jar - Metallica Unforgiven 2 & 3 - Metallica Hero Of The Day - Metallica Until It Sleeps - Metallica Turn The Page - Metallica The Boys Are Back In Town - Thin Lizzy Symphony Of Destruction - Megadeth The Boys Of Summer - Don Henley Crazy Train - Ozzy Osbourne Time After Time - Ozzy Mama I'm Coming Home - Ozzy Road To Nowhere - Ozzy Paranoid - Black Sabbath Iron Man - Black Sabbath Man On The Silver Mountain - Rainbow Rainbow In The Dark - DIO Rock & Roll All Nite - KISS Detroit Rock City - KISS Every Time I Look At You - KISS 10 (entire album) - Pearl Jam Better Man - Pearl Jam Smells Like Teen Spirit - Nirvana Come As You Are - Nirvana In Bloom - Nirvana Heart Shaped Box - Nirvana Imagine - John Lennon Bad - Michael Jackson Black Dog - Led Zeppelin Over The Hills & Far Away - Led Zeppelin Going To California - Led Zeppelin Whole Lotta Love - Led Zeppelin Bad To The Bone - George Thorogood & The Destroyers Dude Looks Like A Lady - Aerosmith Janie's Got A Gun - Aerosmith What It Takes - Aerosmith Angel - Aerosmith Love In An Elevator - Aerosmith Rag Doll - Aerosmith Magic Man - Heart Sweet Home Alabama - Lynyrd Skynyrd Pinball Wizard - The Who Won't Get Fooled Again - The Who My Generation - The Who Sympathy For The Devil - Rolling Stones Beast Of Burden - R. Stones Smoke On The Water - Deep Purple Woman From Tokyo - Deep Purple Me & Bobby McGee - Janis Joplin Love Shack - B-52's Stand - R.E.M. Losing My Religion - R.E.M. The One I Love - R.E.M. Teach Your Children - C,S,&N Night Moves - Bob Seger Turn The Page - Bob Seger Thunder Road - Bruce Springsteen Jessie's Girl - Rick Springfield Mickey - Toni Basil Wishing Well - Terance Trent D'Arby Us And Them - Pink Floyd Money - Pink Floyd Time - Pink Floyd Run Like Hell - Pink Floyd Comfortably Numb - Pink Floyd Learning To Fly - Pink Floyd Ramblin' Man - Allman Brothers Band

The first album I thought of was Guns and Roses Appetite For Destruction.

Lol... Great albums, Great list... you have 5 that are on my list too!!!...RIP, unless I am really board of other music or In a mood to listen to something I haven't heard in 5 or more years! Do a list of albums that you still play, but skip songs on the album that are big hits 😁

NOTB was the first metal album I ever bought at just 15 years old, so for that reason I will always love it. I don't think there are any albums that I no longer need to listen too, its more the big hits that radio overplays from these albums that I don't need to listen to again.

How about “Rumors” instead of Zeppelin IV?! Just a thought!

In no perticular order: 10- Dookie - Green Day ... 9- Ten (side 1 only) - Pearl Jam ... 8- Black Album - Metallica ... 7- Led Zeppelin IV (side 1 only) - Led Zeppelin ... 6- Nevermind - Nirvana ... 5- Are You Experienced? - Jimi Hendrix Experience ... 4- Countdown to extinction - Megadeth ... 3- Dark Side of the Moon (except Brain damage / Eclipse) - Pink Floyd ... 2- Use your illusions - Guns and Roses ... 1- Back in Black - AC/DC

Cool show!. I deffo wouldn't be bothered about hearing Dark Side of The Bloody Moon again! Personally

Couldn't agree more about Great Gig In The Sky

One point to mention, in fairness, these albums all have deep cuts that are worth repeated listens, and not just the major cuts. But a fair list.

I'll never get sick of mellon collie.

I can't subscribe to this point of view. But don't worry, I'm still subscribed. 😁 By your estimation, I should never be able to play The Beatles, The Rolling Stones or Elvis Presley ever again. And I sure still do. And I can even still play "Stairway To Heaven". ha! It depends on how good these songs and albums were to begin with. And I also own a lot of CD's. However, I find after a month with a new album, I'm likely to go back to my favorites.

Biggest reason I turned the radio off decades ago. A few here regretted hearing once and sure it won't happen again, lol ;)

I don't share you opinion on NOTB, since it never got played on the radio. We all listen to it when we want to. But, the radio overplayed some albums, which I can't stand to listen to. With GNR, only some of the lesser known songs can I listen to.

Agreed with exception of DSOTM

For me, "A Night at the Opera" Queen from 1975.."Aqualung" Jethro Tull..Paranoid Black Sabbath...

Just take a break on them, I grew up listening Starway To Heaven and Hotel California at nauseam, I stayed away from them for years, and now can enjoy them again. But I prefer the Hell Freezes Over version over the original and now love many other Zeppelin songs over Starway.

My favorite go to Eagles is On The Border. Never tire from Already Gone and great deep cuts IMO

Great video idea I agree with all your choices, in a way it’s back handed compliment to the band as I listened to them that much that I became tired of them 1 nirvana nevermind 2 guns n roses appetite for distraction 3 Metallica black 4 iron maiden - notb 5 oasis definitely maybe 6 black sabbath paranoid 7 megadeth countdown to extinction I love all these albums but just can’t listen to Them as they offer nothing to me Sad as I’m a huge iron maiden fan - tbf I’ve over played all their albums from the 80s

brother love hear from you. never forget LIMP DISC is weeks away w brand new Bizkit music x

I love AC/DC, and I love back in black, but I’ll always throw on Powerage first.

If you don't listen to these it comes as a pleasant surprise when they come on the radio. As an Australian, Cold chisel is a band I love but I never need to hear Khe Sahn ever again.

I can still listen to a lot of those records, but there are a few I have of my own. Number one on my list is Fleetwood Mac's "Rumours." My friends played that album endlessly for months when it came out, to the exclusion of everything else and almost to the point of ridiculousness. It is a great record, but I am so sick of most of it now that I really don't need to hear it again. Number two for me would be Pink Floyd's "The Wall." Overplayed on the radio like crazy, and this was where Roger Waters really began to let that obsessive/depressive side of himself come to full fruition, and he has never stopped with it, even to this day. I really can't stand the guy at this point. His music is SO depressing, SO negative and SO cynical, I really have had enough of him. There are certain tracks on the Wall that I really still love, but I don't care if I ever hear that album again. With most of the big classic bands, I have made up compilations for myself of all the best songs from their records, and I prefer to listen to those now. I know the original albums inside and out, so picking out all the songs I still enjoy the most satisfies me much more at this point in my life.

Brendon, Great topic and I agree 100% with your picks. I would also add Soundgarden Superunknown, Beatles Sgt. Peppers, Def Leppard Hysteria (Sorry Brendon) Megadeth Countdown To Extinction and another Pink Floyd The Wall. BTW my all time worst Pink Floyd song comes from DSOTM, Money, I HATE that song.

It's more like with me that there are some multiple Lp's/Songs per artist rather than individual LPs. U2- I think that I'd become aware of the band with "Pride (In The Name Of Love)" but I really became aware of them (like everyone else) with "The Joshua Tree" which had 3 big hits on it, then before I knew it there was a follow up LP "Rattle 'N' Hum", which also had a few big hits on it, and then they wouldn't give me a break so they released "Achtung Baby" which has 5 big hits - "The Fly", "Mysterious Ways" ,Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses", One", "Even Better Than The Real Thing". I had U2 fatigue.I only relented with "All That You Cannot Leave Behind".Nowadays I like U2 from 1980-2000 - the one song, really that I still can't stand is "One" . Gun's 'N'Roses - "Appetite For Destruction" - I quickly got off the G'N'R train - But the song/video which haunted me was "November Rain". Nirvana - "Nevermind" - I recall coming home from school and seeing the video for "Smells Like Teen Spirit" - little did I know that that song and "Come As You Are" would be so played to death. I don't even think that those 2 tracks are the best songs on the LP (yes probably the most commercial) but I prefer "Lounge Act" ,"Territorial Pissings", & "Aneurism" which I only discovered maybe 18 months ago ( because I didn't buy the LP when it came out).

Really enjoying your videos. Just wondering, does this mean you won’t be wearing that shirt again either? 😁

Boston's first album Boston would be at the top of my list.

For me it's U2's Joshua Tree. I'll play it once in a while, but I skip the first 3 tracks, which are the hits.

Aside from Beast and Black Album I'm with you on everything else. I grew up with those two and can't let them go.

Easy three for me. Zep IV Boston debut AC/DC Back in Black.

Also here in the Atlanta region the rock station “The River” only plays a very limited classic rock songs….. because they have to pay a high amount to the record companies for the rights to play the songs on the air… You basically can set your clock on when these overplayed classic rock songs will be played they just change he song list in different order. Also, I hate to say this, but rock ‘n’ roll is a dying format here in this region. I have to say maybe even talk radio is ahead of. It certainly know that urban music is tops in this market.

The Last Resort off of Hotel California might be the best track off that album. And it wasn't overplayed!!

Really Number of the Beast? Gonna go play it now

I always thought while back in black was the better overall album to for those about to rock , I think ftatr had the better high points 🤘

Being very selective in my music and just enjoy all my favorites that I grew up on , normally still listen to Black Sabbath, Dio, Rainbow, Scorpions,Heart. for old school listens all albums and videos , and finished replacing a lot of good Old School , music bought a collection of all Joe Satriani. Nothing I don't want to listen to in my collection

The Boston album is great. However I can live another 30 years and never hear another darn song from it

Rumours has to be on this list as well as GNR Appetite!

I'm with you all the way with Metallicas 'Black' album. I love Metallica and I used to love Enter Sandman, but I'm so sick of hearing it I never put the album on any more. I also agree about 'Nevermind'. It's a great album but played to death. I tend to listen to MTV unplugged or Incesticide instead.

NUMBER OF THE BEAST NEVERMIND METALLICA METALLICA. UNBELIEVABLE ALBUMS 🇬🇧 🤘

I agree on half of your list. I still listen to Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Metallica, Pink Floyd and Led Zep 4. I gave away my entire AC/DC collection for the simple fact they are overplayed every day on any given radio station no matter the format. In my opinion, to the listener it is YOUR choice how often you play it and burn YOURSELF out on the artist or album. As mentioned, I occasionally pull out these albums and enjoy them and not play them every day to the point of burn out. There is a world of other music out there to enjoy. Expand people!

I don't have a list for this... but mayyybe The Wall is one album I feel I had enough with it..
