"Never hearing ever again" is too long. I generally measure songs by how frequently I can stand hearing them. American Pie is a great song, but I only need to hear it about once a year. Similarly Stairway to Heaven or any of the overplayed hits. I listened to Steeleye Span a great deal in college, and there are cuts I listen to now and again but mostly I've internalized their first ten albums (with solo LPs as well).

The flip side are the songs I want to hear again immediately. I nearly made a mix tape of songs played twice in a row. The Lion Sleeps Tonight (either Tokens or Robert John) still tops the list. Little Willie was on there too, but I'm over that now.

I digress.
