What's a song you could never stand hearing? - Lemmy.World

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

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.
