    If you could permanently remove one song from the setlist, which would it be?

    I'm going with You Really Got Me. I never cared for the original, it doesn't excite me in the least bit (other than improvised jams during it), it's been massively overplayed since Van Halen I came out, and I truly would not shed a tear if I never heard it again.

    I posted a poll because those other songs are ones that have frequently come up in other tour discussions, and I figure they will get the bulk of the votes.

    a:7:{i:6900;a:5:{s:12:"polloptionid";i:6900;s:6:"nodeid";s:5:"61463";s:5:"title";s:17:"You Really Got Me";s:5:"votes";i:4;s:6:"voters";a:4:{i:0;s:5:"28475";i:1;s:2:"31";i:2;s:4:"5862";i:3;s:5:"31217";}}i:6901;a:5:{s:12:"polloptionid";i:6901;s:6:"nodeid";s:5:"61463";s:5:"title";s:13:"Ice Cream Man";s:5:"votes";i:1;s:6:"voters";a:1:{i:0;s:5:"27964";}}i:6902;a:5:{s:12:"polloptionid";i:6902;s:6:"nodeid";s:5:"61463";s:5:"title";s:17:"(Oh) Pretty Woman";s:5:"votes";i:14;s:6:"voters";a:14:{i:0;s:2:"11";i:1;s:5:"27896";i:2;s:5:"20165";i:3;s:5:"25313";i:4;s:5:"28716";i:5;s:5:"28413";i:6;s:5:"28145";i:7;s:4:"4146";i:8;s:5:"25454";i:9;s:5:"25975";i:10;s:5:"25786";i:11;s:2:"58";i:12;s:3:"181";i:13;s:4:"1342";}}i:6903;a:5:{s:12:"polloptionid";i:6903;s:6:"nodeid";s:5:"61463";s:5:"title";s:4:"Jump";s:5:"votes";i:9;s:6:"voters";a:9:{i:0;s:5:"25002";i:1;s:4:"7379";i:2;s:4:"8719";i:3;s:5:"22706";i:4;s:5:"12663";i:5;s:2:"33";i:6;s:2:"32";i:7;s:5:"27766";i:8;s:5:"24030";}}i:6904;a:5:{s:12:"polloptionid";i:6904;s:6:"nodeid";s:5:"61463";s:5:"title";s:6:"Panama";s:5:"votes";i:0;s:6:"voters";a:0:{}}i:6905;a:5:{s:12:"polloptionid";i:6905;s:6:"nodeid";s:5:"61463";s:5:"title";s:9:"I'll Wait";s:5:"votes";i:1;s:6:"voters";a:1:{i:0;s:2:"84";}}i:6906;a:5:{s:12:"polloptionid";i:6906;s:6:"nodeid";s:5:"61463";s:5:"title";s:32:"Some other song (please specify)";s:5:"votes";i:0;s:6:"voters";a:0:{}}}

      Dance The Night Away or You Really got me or Pretty Woman.....I would say Jump but that's not going to happen.

          Oh I don't think it's about what will really happen - just what you're sick of hearing and that is.........JUMP.

          Oh dear.

              Ok.....Then Jump it is.......someone needs to start a thread for which 1 song would you include in the set as well......I'm casting my vote for D.O.A. right now.

                  Pretty Woman.

                  The others listed have some musical merit even if we are a bit bored of many of them.

                      That's right. I don't think any of these songs will ever be removed either, which is unfortunate.

                      To be fair though, I think most bands do have about 5 songs that they play at just about every concert that the die-hards are tired of.

                              Got rid of that horrible bass solo by dumping Hot Sauce.

                                  Jamie's crying. Totally pointless song, with bad verses and even worse chorus.
                                  The heart is on the left. The blood is red.

                                      You're out of your mind, listen to the live version on The US Festival bootleg(s), it fucking shines in all its glory...

                                          I voted "Jump". Not that I dislike the song, but it comes off stiff and perfunctory live. I don't even think the band likes it very much, but they feel they have to play it as it was probably their first true crossover hit...

                                              I haven't heard that version, but it's the melody in the chorus that bothers me the most.

                                                      It was left off the setlist for all but 4 shows this year. I'm only considering songs that it's obvious they have no intention of dropping.

                                                      I will say this though, I didn't mourn not hearing "Jamie's Cryin'" for most of the shows. It's always been one of my least favorite songs. I'm pretty sure it was the last song written for the first album and to me, it sounds like it was written quickly.

                                                      A sizable number of fans don't care for Little Dreamer, they think it's a buzzkill. I for one love Little Dreamer, but I think Jamie's Cryin' is the buzzkill.
