Plenty of songs I never get tired of listening to but unfortunately they tend to _not_ be the ones that make it on the air, with the exception of nearly anything by Pink Floyd. But in the past 10 years the only song that’s made it on the radio and was well-played that I didn’t get totally sick of is _Voodoo_ by Godsmack. Which is one of the few instances of a band I originally thought sucked coming out later with a great song. ---
