For me it’s always been Black Hole Sun by Soundgarden. It just annoys me to no end. Although I get why people like it and that it’s just a me thing but still and i can’t stand the music video either.
Runner up would be rooster by Alice in chains

Killing Me Softly With His Song
There’s entire genres that I don’t like such as country or Christmas music. Specific songs have to be Wonderful Christmastime by Paul McCartney and I Will Always Love You by Whitney Houston. Wonderful Christmastime I already don’t like because it’s a Christmas song and almost all of those feel preachy and disingenuous, but a friend described the song as Paul trying out every button and knob on a synth and I can’t unheard that now. I Will Always Love You I just don’t like. The instrumental is there, but that’s all I can say about it since nothing seems to stand out and it just kinda sounds like background noise. And I understand that her vocal work is impressive, but that doesn’t make it a good song. Honestly, the song feels like I’m being yelled at for 4 and a half minutes
God I hate Wonderful Christmastime. It’s the laziest, most cynical cash-in on a Christmas song. It goes nowhere. Aaargh.
Have you heard the original Dolly Parton version of I will always love you? She’s got a less forceful voice in general, and her version was a much gentler delivery on top of that.
Not saying anything about you liking or not liking the song, just curious if it’s Whitney that’s the problem, the arrangement, or the song itself.
I didn’t even know Dolly sang the original, I’ve only ever heard Whitney’s version. Dolly’s is… slightly better, I think because like you said it is gentler. Still not a fan. Also I hear the Whitney Houston version at least once a day at work, that’s a big reason why I hate the song
whole genres. Like a ton of country/western and rap but especially m&m. that friday song but like 99% of people can’t stand that.
You put that earworm in my head so now you have to suffer as well
It’s Friday, Friday Gotta get down on Friday Everybody’s lookin’ forward to the weekend, weekend Friday, Friday Gettin’ down on Friday Everybody’s lookin’ forward to the weekend Partyin’, partyin’ (Yeah) Partyin’, partyin’ (Yeah) Fun, fun, fun, fun
lol. I have shingy happy people now anyway but I like that. turn your love around. and tommorrow shine.
Bittersweet Symphony. Not entirely sure why, but the repetitive strings grate me pretty quick.
Outside of that, any country song from the past 40 years. I can tolerate older folk-country stuff. But newer country? Absolutely not. I hate that I can’t open my mind to it, because there are very few genres that I avoid, but country is simply repulsive to me.
Fuck yes! If I never had to hear that song again i’d be so happy. That and Counting Crows Mr. Jones - “Sha la la la la la…” Fuck right off with that.
Ah I love counting crows. And I love shouting that part in a shower
Ya, that one and champaign supernova get on my nerves fast. So does wonder wall.
As far as country goes my knowledge of songs is very limited any males lrom 1990s to 2000s I probably refuse to listen to because I probably heard them on the radio at some point in my life especially during that time.
I like Johnny Cash diamond Rio Alabama they all have some songs that I can enjoy. Modern I like some of Laney Wilson’s stuff and the band Perry like some of their stuff
I’m sort of new to it but lately I’ve been exploring what I would call Southern rock like a silent comedy and Dorothy
Yeah. Now that I think about it, a female-led country song is more tolerable than a male lead. I think it’s the voice, and the lyrics… and the guitar, and the everything else. Yeah, nah. I just can’t do it.
But old stuff, like Jolene from Dolly or Patsy Cline (or KD Lang’s renditions) and folksy stuff like Cash (Highway Man is boss) and Woody Guthrie are a-ok.
No it was just that period had by far the worst. Achy breaky heart, shove a boot in your ass. Ride my big green tractor omfg it’s awful
Any RHCP song
You’re holding on to anger. You should Give It Away Now.
Just here to comment that there are so many songs listed in this thread that I like: Black Hole Sun, Rooster, No Rain, Wonderful Christmastime, Born to Run, Bohemian Rhapsody, etc.
None of these are my favorite songs or bands, but I like them.
ANYTHING by Jimmy Buffet
What about Coconut Pete?
Bohemian Rhapsody.
It’s some goofball pastiche of bad musical ideas. People love it, and every few years it’s “rediscovered” and I have to endure more.
I get that it’s played out now, but I really think it’s a masterpiece.
Queen is just a masterpiece. I don’t know if there will ever be a band like them again that just sold out everywhere they went. I guess Taylor Swift but I don’t know if she united people.
They brought so many groups of people together to sing in unison. I find it hard to believe there was a world from my youth when we were united in stomping out bigotry, fighting the aids crisis. Russia lost, the wall came down. The future seemed so promising and when Obama won more so. Then 2016 everything went to shit
A lot of Queen is masterful, a lot of Queen is absolutely horrible. I would draw your attention to Fat Bottom Girls, a song about a boy who was raped by his caregiver, giving him a lifelong sexual fetish.
Now I want to go watch Wayne’s World
Are you mental?
Dopesmoker. As much as I love Sleep and Stoner Doom, that song just blows.
Piano man. And most of billy joel
Shiny happy people by R.E.M
(Black Hole Sun is a personal favorite though! lol)
So wierd I actually somewhat like shiny happy people
I have a hard time not liking the b52’s
Man we would not get along musically. Can’t stand the b52s. Don’t mind old school rap. Do like m&m. Not a country guy but some songs have grown on me.
You do know it’s not actually “m&m”, right?
Yes. I don’t know why I copied what he wrote just seemed simpler
sounds like it. honestly my favorite music has complex lyrics and melody and instruments and not so much on beat. jethro tull is my fav band. I had an RA who used to come into my dorm room and dance around making fun saying walking in was like hanging with fairies (the uh. mythical kind.)
Blind melon’s No Rain. Anything country. Braddah Iz’s Somewhere Over The Rainbow…don’t get me wrong, he’s a great singer, and there’s a lot of other songs he sings. I was still living in Hawaii at the time he passed away, and all the local stations played the shit out of that song for a month. Shit, EVERYONE was playing that song non-stop! So much to the point that it drives me crazy whenever I hear it.
Again, love Iz, can’t stand that song.
I much prefer Marusha’s version of ‘Somewhere Over The Rainbow’.
Honestly, No Rain immediately came to mind, but if I am being honest it doesn’t disturb me as much as others. Damn close though. I think it was just a product of the massive amount of airtime that song got.
No rain and crash test dummies
Anything by Pink or Katy Perry or Vance Joy.
I believe that if there was a time anomaly and we lost all pop music from the early 2010’s we would be better off as a species.
Such a dark time for music that was.
