Can't think of any at the moment, but I know what you mean. I think something like "Money" doesn't really fit the criteria because when you first heard the album, it was a great tune. After hearing it about 1000 times, you are probably sick of it, but it doesn't mean it ruins the album, only that you listen to the radio too much (or the wrong radio station).
I love the episode of "How I Met Your Mother" (Mondays on CBS if you didn't know) where they recall the tale of Marshall's car. The day he inherits his older brother's Pontiac Fiero, he gets a cassette single of 'I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles)" stuck in the car stereo. I remains there through the life of the car, and when he's on a cross country trip with Ted, they go through periods of hating and loving the song. I thought it was bang on when it comes to these 'classic' songs that you hear all the time. Sometimes you hear them in a different context, or you realize something about them that makes you appreciate them even more.
Then again, sometimes you hate them even more.
