I don't know what category to put this in, so please forgive me if its in the wrong one

I have a problem with Facebook - in my main page (news feed?) it always has heaps of other pages that I can 'like' - these are pages that some of my friends obviously like. How do I stop all these pages from appearing in my news feed?
All I want to see is the posts from my friends - not posts from different pages that they 'like'

I can click on the arrow to not receive anymore posts from xyz page, but I wondered if there is a way to stop these pages appearing in my news feed

thanks in advance!
