I like the Peter Sarstedt song as well and still after 30 years, each time the radio plays Owner Of A Lonely Heart, I still put up the volume.
Songs I never want to hear again: other radio favorites like Black Velvet by Alannah Myles, Take My Breath Away by Berlin and The Time Of Our Lives by Bill Medley and Jennifer Warnes.
As for prog: I wouldn't know. Prog is not much on the car radio, so I can arrange myself how often I listen to a certain song or not. So there's no danger of "overeating" ("over-hearing").

Stairway to Heaven is an obvious one as it's been over-played to death. Peter Sarstedt - Where Do You Go To My Lovely? The lyrics make me cringe, though I do like the follow-up Frozen Orange Juice. Anything by Canuck caterwauler Alanis Morissette, I think I am actually allergic to her. Anything by Stock, Aitken and Waterman. With a name like that they should have been an ace Prog power trio instead of purveyors of cheesy 80s s%*t.
Struggling to think of any Prog that makes me groan when I hear it, though maybe some early Rush where Geddy Lee squeals too much.
Richard, I can't believe you hate everything by The Doors!
I love that Peter Sarstedt song
Alanis has probably made my favourite rock album.I think your allergy to her is similar to mine for the Doors. I love organ as well but I just can't listen to them and have never owned anything by them in any format. Never been remotely tempted. If I hear anything by them on the radio I swithc it off immediately and that station goes on my blacklist

Usually has a coquettish female singer singing wordless vocals. You know the commercials I mean.
Or a 2/4 feel on acoustic guitar complete with glockenspiel, handclaps, and gang vocal "oh's" with glottal stops.
In a recent songwriting session I put something like this smack dab in the middle of an acoustic jazz/progressive tune.
