The world's most hated songs

I'm definitely not trying to be political here. But I was fascinated to learn via this mornings news that playing songs from this "list" is becoming an accepted way of attempting to disperse crowds. A sonic fire hose if you will. I wonder if how this makes the songwriters feel? What songs would you blare from a loudspeaker if you needed to disperse a crowd?

I know a lot of people like it, but for me one type of music that would decidedly drive me away would be any kind of death or thrash metal.

I kind of thought that way for a long time, too, still not into cookie monster death metal vocals, but there are always exceptions. These young fellas from NZ are clearly thrash metal, not my genre at all, yet have me fascinated...

 
Knocking On Heaven’s Door, primarily the G’n’R version. For me, anything by James Taylor, Jackson Brown, The Eagles, and Stevie Nicks are repellents.
I disagree pretty much 100%, but hey, personal tastes, I liked your post because it made me laugh...
