So many to choose from... Lennon's Imagine and most of the Beatles for starters.
Yes!!!! I never cared for them too much.
I never cared for them either. But in retrospect, they were actually outstanding lyricists and musicians, but their voices were odd, nasally and bland with their Liverpool accents, making it unenjoyable for me to listen to them.
BUT! Years ago, (2008?) on season 7 of the American Idol singing show, they did a few weeks where the top finalists had to sing various Beatles' songs.
Suddenly, hearing those songs sung by a beautiful female or male voice with instrumentals behind them completely changed my mind! The songs were wonderful and quite emotional when someone else was singing them, and suddenly I understood.
Who knew! Here's one of them. Makes the hair stand up on my arms:

I really don’t have that problem because I don’t listen to the radio. I stream music or play vinyl at home. However, I can’t stand rap. It’s every where, commercials, TV & movie. There’s some nasty raunchy lyrics in rap. Even in the latest Elvis movie they played modern rap during the scenes with Elvis and black singers (his time as a child etc). We all know rap music wasn’t around in the 40s, 50s & 60s. Yet they put it in the movie. Most people under 30 wouldn’t notice. My daughter told her friends she didn’t like it & they said they didn’t notice the rap music. My daughter said, “that’s because y’all listen to it & I don’t!” Proud mom moment! Years ago a country black rapper came along. Cowboy Troy. He sings clean lyrics about country life. I was impressed but I’m just not into rap of any kind. Ha Ha, I’m old enough to know the very first rap. I actually have the vinyl, Rapper’s Delight. That was my limit. So I went from saying no to heck yes, some music does get on my nerves. I think I do a great job avoiding it.
Say something (I’m giving up on you) A great Big World/Christina Aguilera 🤮 I have never finished the song. Freakin terrible https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=-2U0Ivkn2Ds
