I Would Like To Discuss College Football Bands and Music Played at Games

Does the NCAA only have licensed rights to allow for bands/songs to play four songs?
I just watched the replay of GA Tech / FSU Game. There's two bands at the game and besides a few of the fight songs, war chant, etc. I must have heard the following:
Thunderstruck by AC/DC - At least 25 times
Apotheosis Rave Song - At least 25 times
Timber (piped in Music) at least 10 times
Seven Nation Army Song - At least 28 times
Zombie Nation - At least 30 times
Fall Out Boy (piped in Music and ESPN) - Centuries at least 15 times
This isn't just GA Tech that does this. It's every fricking College Football band in America doing this.
It makes me cringe while watching College Football.
I watch one game and hear the same shite after every play... watch another game and hear the same shite after each play... watch another game and hear these same songs after every play... watch another game and hear these same songs after every play
And it has been like this for the past few years. It's making me really dislike watching College Football.
I am sure I will have a bunch of dick faces scold me for this post but the band and piped in music is getting really fricking annoying.
They need to come up with something different because I hear the same songs every different game for an entire long season.

ok rookie. I am sick of hearing the same songs played in every single game the entire season for the past 5 years.

It really is a terrible thing, I don't know why all these schools think it's what the fans want.

We should discuss the cheerleaders and majorettes wearing too much makeup as well then... cause most of them look like whores.

At least you can hear your band Ole Miss' band is so quiet we actually have to use speakers to be able to hear the band.

I just wished that they would play different music. I'm all for hyping the game up with music and the bands playing but it's the same exact shite for every single band in the country that we have to listen to for every game for the entire season.
Have you ever heard a song play on the radio and say "I am so sick of hearing this song" - It's that times a million every week for an entire season

I meant to post this in More Sports but SEC Bands do this shite as well so it doesn't matter

I noticed that when I went to Oxford last year Yall blared it at the Auburn student section too for some reason.

LSU has a specific song for each down. They then play various traditional songs throughout different phases of the game. What's nice is that with the exception of Tiger Rag and Eye of the Tiger, their music is very unique to LSU.
They also play the occasional pop rock song like Green Day's Holiday. However, most of the really good stuff gets banned because the students add a bunch of profanity to shout.
There is more and more pipped in music being added. It's typically before kick offs, or during a lull. I'm fine with most of it, as it seems to get both the team and crowd into it.

No problem! I actually find it refreshing that LSU has these traditions or UF has the Go Gators Chant or Alabama plays that Roll Tide Chant after getting a 1st down... School specific traditions do not bother me It's the cookie cutter songs that bug the shite out of me.

My ears bleed at the mention of that song... if they're gonna let band music take a backseat to piped in stadium music, at least play something hype.

You say this, but OU and USC respectively play Boomer Sooner and Fight For Troy ad nauseum. I know it is part of their tradition, but dang learn another song. I know some people get bent out of shape with Rocky Top being played a lot, but it is nowhere near as bad.
Regardless, I get your sentiment. I'm just glad that these guys aren't in the SEC. it just makes watching their games unbearable.

I actually love the Rocky Top Song. I love the school specific songs and traditions. These 4-5 down that are played after every song is what is driving me crazy about this sport.
I know it sounds like I am griping but it is getting ridiculous. It needs to change
