      I was struggling to think of something I truly hate

      I was coming up with a lot of bad tracks, sure, but they don’t really inspire hatered

      This one however, viscerally upsetting from the first bar

    Gonna go against the grain here with something classical: Pachabel’s Canon in D. I liked it when I was a kid, for at least the first 10 or 20 times I heard it, but since then I’ve probably heard it thousands of times, and I’m not even a strings player. I’m not exaggerating either; it’s in so many commercials, weddings, movies, just over loudspeakers in the grocery store… ugh it’s inescapable. Pretty the first few times, sure, but it’s so aggressively bland.

      I didn’t have a solid answer to the question until I read this. Absolutely gets the worst response from me.

      First two chords and I’m like “nooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!”

      I could have sworn a friend of mine wrote this, because he often said the exact same thing. But, he was a string player.

      Personally, it seems like I can’t go a day without hearing one of The Four Seasons in media.

    I Will Survive - Something about this song just makes me murderous.

    Don’t Stop Believing - By the gods, please do stop. I love Journey, but just don’t play this.

    Bohemian Rhapsody - I think I’m just really tired of it. It’s been held up at such a pinnacle for so long and played far too often and I just can’t anymore. I don’t care. Turn it off.

      Oh good. There’s someone else who doesn’t see the appeal of U2.

      And you just don’t like Elevator because you missed the expertly hidden, subtle innuendos. 😂

      Carol of the Bells kicks ass.

      Tell you what I can’t stand, is The Obligatory Christmas Release. Some musical act, band or increasingly a solo “artist” gets big and especially if they have one brand-defining hit, they are required to do a Christmas release that is the thing they’re known for with sleigh bells and a word salad of Christmas words including a refrain where they just shout “It’s Christmas!!!” Los Del Rio did a Macarena Christmas mix. And we allowed society to continue anyway.

    All I Wanna Do Is Have Some Fun by Sheryl Crow, or any song where the artist is doing that annoying kind-of-singing-but-also-just-talking thing (NOT to be confused with rap, I do enjoy lots of rap and hip-hop). It’s hard to explain. I think Red Hot Chili Peppers has a song where they do it too, and it annoys the fuck outta me.

    Dancing Queen by Abba. Something about the baseline makes me feel physically sick (literally, not figuratively). Can’t bear it.

    Sweet Caroline - Neil Diamond. I’m from New England so I hear it often and the back story makes me cringe every time and I haaate it

      Yeah as someone who has spent almost their whole life in the Carolinas I am sick to death of that song, especially when people do the little singalong bits.

    Anything by Morrissey. The histrionics are annoying enough but I think he’s an objectively bad musician. He seems to just meander around with no discernable melody. Like, what are you even trying to do man? I’m pretty certain the actually catchy Smiths songs were written by someone else.

    Runner up: Hold My Hand by Hootie and the Blowfish. If it comes on at a place of business I will immediately walk out of that business.

    The Piña Colada Song.

    It enrages me. I hear the first note and I want to break a window. If it comes on in the car, I almost break my wrist with how quickly I turn it off.
