I swear that if I see one more cover band play Roadhouse Blues or the female equivalent, Bobby McGee, I'm going to grab all the beer bottles I can reach and start hurling them at the band.
There's some good choices listed here but these two IMO should be laid to rest.
Mike
Bobby McGee - totally.
Roadhouse Blues - I was lucky enough not to be exposed to it all that much. We did cover it a few times back in the early 90s, and I've heard one Doors tribute band play it, but I guess I was lucky enough to be spared.
In many cases, I wouldn't blame the bands playing them though, but the audience.
I remember when I started working as a DJ and Nine Inch Nails' Closer became a hit (at which time I had already heard it too often) - people (mostly girls actually) asked for that song practically every night I was working (6 nights a week) for well over a years. Sometimes I'd have to play it twice a night.
