I prefer not to wonder about it and in any case just try to not hear it when I'm listening to the song... lol
Porg for short. My love of music doesn't end with prog! Feel free to discuss all sorts of music with me. Odds are I'll give it a chance if I haven't already! :)

Put PF's "another brick in the wall part 2" on that list too and also a few other PF song(half of DSOTM for example). And while I hate to say it, "limelight,""spirit of radio" and "Tom Sawyer" have also been played to death. The truth is most classic rock songs have been played to death. That's why these days I prefer the deep tracks channel on sirius xm otherwise I'll just play the proper album where the played out songs sound ok in their proper context.
I have the same feeling about half of DSOTM. I played it to death myself. But The Wall too.

Two that come to mind are 'Zeppelin's Kashmir and 'Skynyrd's Sweet Home Alabama.

At home, all ZEP LPs (from LZ1 to Presence) are 'played to death' stuff

If it's getting airplay in 2022: it's overplayed.

Queen have been one of my favourite bands since 1984, BUT, I can suggest a few songs of theirs That are not only played to death, but also amongst my least faves by them, because they are much more commercial than the bulk of their material and do not represent what their albums generally sound like;
ie Killer Queen (spoils the flow if Sheer Heart Attack for me)
Somebody to Love
Don't Stop Me Now. (way too commercial)

Are a lot of people's selections born out if them being played on Planet Rock?
If so, I can see why. I stopped listening to it, mainly because it tends to play mainly 'straight ahead rock' and not enough progressive rock for my liking.

I don't listen to the radio that much but I can't think of many stations that would play the first 3 much. Bo Rap and Imagine are obviously played a lot but if you listen to Magic or Smooth in the UK, I would guess Baker Street is the most played song. 
Maybe it's even played to death by oneself? I played Money far too much I guess.

There are a few songs I have played too much, most of The Joshua Tree for example.
I never get tired of listening to The Joshua Tree and maybe you too feel the same way. Wink

All songs I possibly could name are just songs I already dislike in the first place. A truly good song can't be played to death, but that's just how I look at things. Then again, I never listen to the radio unless I'm with other people. Probably the song I've heard the most on the radio, and one that happens to be one I play myself regularly as well is Dreams by Fleetwood Mac. But I'm always happy to listen to it.

I'm surprised to see 21st Century Schizoid Man come up. I've never heard that songs outside of my own volition.

There are certain songs that can drive me right out of a store with my ears covered and me repeating “La La La La La!!!” Losing My Religion by REM and All I Want For Xmas is You by Mariah Carey top the list, but there are many others: Runaround by Blues Traveler, Only Wanna Be with You by Hootie & the Blowfish, All For You by Sister Hazel, Round Here by Counting Crows, Higher by Creed, and Smooth by the Matchbox 20 guy & Santana (Santana, why?) to name a few. Most of these are 90s songs further confirming my theory about how great the 60s, 70s, and 80s were for music.
