You've never heard of Kasabian?! Have you got your sarcastic hat on? If not then they're meant to be the "next Oasis." that pub rock, drunken singalong kind of sound, nothing exceptional but decent enough listen.

Mumford & Sons are a folk band from London. Their album is a little gem.

On XFM (Indie/Alt type station) we have Arctic Monkeys, 2 of their songs get played a lot. Mumford & Sons Little Lion Man. Muse Uprising is overplayed as anything.. and I can't think of much else. Still, all beats Coldplay.

^ They are supposed to be sick live, although their audiences are apparently quite rowdy.

Besides the usual Stairway, Bohemian, Teen Spirit and Sweet Child, I would also add:

Coldplay- The Scientist
Kings Of Leon- I don't know what the song is called actually but it's so goddamn overplayed
Foo Fighters- The Pretender
Black Sabbath- Into The Void.
Radiohead- Creep
Muse- Undisclosed Desires, Uprising

To be fair, it was an Oasis concert... Oasis are essentially The Beatles for chavs. Kasabian were supporting. They were really good live.

But outdoor venue + people needing a wee + having a cup = piss down your back.

Not the biggest fan of Oasis, myself though I get a kick out of watching Noel-Liam argument vids on youtube >.<

They are 30/40 yet they are still so immature!

Speaking of Oasis, Wonderwall is as overplayed as hell.

I saw them live last year.

I was faster at moving out of the way.

I'm only really a fan of Kasabian for nostalgic reasons, they're not awful, but 'Empire' was so overplayed that I can't stand the song. They're good to put on a jukebox in a rowdy pub and watch your best friend stamp her feet and shout along to... (or I may be on my own with that one)... Saying that, I did really enjoy seeing them. They put on a fine show.

Generally, the only radio I really listen to are local stations or Radio One (which I'm pretty sure causes a small piece of my soul to die everyday). So anything by Coldplay or Nickleback will start my teeth grinding. 'Sex on Fire' by KOL and 'Don't look back in anger' by Oasis seem to be on an hourly rotation.

'Living on a prayer' by Bon Jovi is played far too much on local stations. There's just no excuse.
