Subj: [kl] Music the makes you Wince

Been a bit of chat over how rap is or isn't music, Morse code and
Stravisnsky. Let's try a new thread: music you just hate.

I'm not talking about simple trite stuff (best of Jim Sweringen, for example
- kids need easy stuff). I mean the ones that get programmed over and over,
seemingly just to torture the members of the band/orchestra/quintet/etc.
You know the ones - tunes that make you roll your eyes when you open the
folder and see what's in it (again). Pieces not worth the effort, even if
it's minimal. Groaners. Music to punch puppies by.

I'll start - I have a visceral aversion to anything written by Leroy
Anderson . . . but the worst is (to my mind) "Clarinet Candy." Loathsome -
I'd rather play air hockey with my tongue than play that dog again. Ever.

What's your un-favorite?
