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

I made an offhanded comment about not liking Akon’s part in Gewn Stafani’s Sweet Escape to my friend. He then proceeds to play the song around me every chance he got for weeks and have Pavlov’d me into having a negative reaction to the song. I have also developed an uncanny (according to my SO) ability to recognise Gwen Stafani’s voice even though I have never put on one of her songs on my own.
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
Allstar by fucking smashmouth
Hey now
Saw them live in Omaha I don’t know 28 years ago probably.
all day line up of bands Gold dust, seven Mary Three, sugar ray, sneaker pimps, No doubt. I forget else who was there
Piano man. And most of billy joel
Mariah Carey’s christmas fucking song and also Wham’s, just shoot me. I love Black Hole Sun btw.
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.
Now I want to go watch Wayne’s World
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
Dopesmoker. As much as I love Sleep and Stoner Doom, that song just blows.
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.
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
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
ANYTHING by Jimmy Buffet
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
Anything by Jimmy Buffett or Meatloaf or Joe Cocker.
Meatloaf Junior highs I will do anything for a love flashbacks oh my god
I can’t stand anything by Crosby Stills & Nash or by Cat Stevens. It all sounds like horrifically depressing heroin addict music to me.
My deceased father in law loved listening to them, and it drove me nuts.
I’ve never actually sat down to listen to any of those but Cat Stevens father and son song at the end of guardians of the Galaxy 2 that hit me so at least like that one
I feel like a horrible person for describing anyone’s music like that, but hearing either of those two artists instantly sours my mood and makes me feel depressed and despondent. I’ve had struggles with mental health for 30+ years, and one of the few things that helps with any consistency is avoiding things (music, movies, tv shows) I know will likely put me in a sour mood.
I’m glad their music brings joy to others. I am just not ever going to enjoy it. The absolute best I can possibly manage is to grind my teeth and bite my tongue until the song is over and hopefully something more pleasant comes on.
Oh I never said it was a happy song. It’s depressing as fuck.
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
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
God I hate Wonderful Christmastime. It’s the laziest, most cynical cash-in on a Christmas song. It goes nowhere. Aaargh.
Any RHCP song
You’re holding on to anger. You should Give It Away Now.
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.
