Mama Wendy got me going on Sara Bareilles, Norah Jones, Ingrid Michaelson, etc, and that's been the music of my transition.
    And from my POV: how many times do I need to hear "Help," "Welcome To The Jungle," "Start Me Up," etc? As you said, if I'm in the mood, sure. But otherwise....

      You don't have downloaded music nor do you listen to anything from when you were a teenager? My musical rotation is vast, but I don't go very long without listening to most of the following. Not every day, but I listen to music most of the day in my office and it's pretty likely there are bands from way back when that come up at least once a week.

      The Cure
      The Replacements
      REM
      U2
      The Beatles
      Zeppelin
      The Who
      The Clash
      Etc.
      Etc.

      Maybe you also need to go deeper into musical catalogs. There's way better material from each respective band than Help, WTTJ and SMU.

        No matter what I have pretty much thumbs downed every band's top selling songs on Pandora. I've just heard them tool many times -- even bands I really love. I would much rather hear a band's 100th most popular song for the first time than their most popular for the 100th.

        We could do the world a favor and erase all of these songs, for a start. And there are plenty of people on that list (Chubby Checker, Santana, the Police, Blondie, the Monkees, Diana Ross, Marvin Gaye) worth listening to.

          I do, but nowadays I have to be in the mood to hear the "hits." That's one reason I started listening to the Current a couple years ago. The corpie stations around here play the same old stuff I've heard for the last few decades. IF there is a new song, they'll hype it for a month or two, then it disappears.

          FTR: of that list you have, I have most of the Cure, ALL of the Zeppelin, and not a big enough fan of anyone else on the list to get anything more than their Greatest Hits stuff.

          Related: While AC/DC's Back In Black is a tremendous album, TNT (US version was Dirty Deeds) album was way better, IMO. And I think Whole Lotta Rosie was their best song. The guitar work, especially at the end, was so sick. And "Ride On" is such an underrated song.

            Me in my teens: this radio station is playing my jams.

            Me in my 20s: this bar is playing my jams.

            Me in my 30s: the grocery store is playing my jams.

            What happens when I hit 40? The oldies station is playing my jams?

              Yes. I've heard "Smells Like Teen Spirit" on the "classic rock" station.
              The old joke was: did you know Will Smith was a rapper? Or Mark Wahlberg? (Some of my co-workers were legit shocked). Now, the joke is, "There's a whole generation that only knows Billy Ray Cyrus for Old Town Road, and not Achy Breaky Heart.

                          Yep. That blurb from Revolution Calling and then the stuff about AK-47's from the next album's song Empire are very prophetic.
