Could we ban Johnny Cash’s _Burning Ring of Fire_? Or is that just too heretical?

I used to live over a bar, way back when, and every night, over and over I had to hear, “Just a’ swingin,” by that Anderson dude. The beginning riff would shake, rattle and roll my dishes  
and it

Other than that, all songs by Hootie and the Blowfish–of course, all of their songs ARE the same songs.
