I used to have a bumper sticker with a picture of an accordion, a red circle and slash sliced through the middle. The text said "Use an Accordion, Go to Jail".
-
I can't pick, I love all music and instruments. I would have to say (Sorry to my Aussie friends) that dijeridoo (spelling please) thing. Just because I couldn't play it.
-
Anything "jazzy", like horns.
-
It depends who's playing it. A recorder played by a child who can't play it correctly is downright painful...not to mention the spit that flies out the end is disgusting.
-
I still have a violent hatred towards the sound of a plastic recorder. Especially when playing "Three Blind Mice."
-
kazoo
-
I have to agree with Stableboy, the oompa loompa polka stylings of according music in Tejano and other spanish music is just unnerveing, but that's just me. It sounds like circus music, it's a good thing they haven't added the soundings of coliopy music... oh I should just keep my mouth shut before I give some idiot a bright idea!
-
Organs. Organ music drives me mad.
-
When someone's vocal chords aren't up to par.
-
I have to agree with Baron Kevin Von Bagsley. I HATE the organ. It reminds me of DEATH, since it is played at many funerals, and TOTALLY creeps me out !
-
The fiddle! And the steel guitar! ARRRGGGHHH!
-
oboes always sound like dying geese to me.
-
the recorder.
-
cymbals
-
I would have to say the human voice beat-boxing, and trying to act like it is some sort of drum... not only is it annoying it sounds stupid.
-
Bagpipes having a Scottish mother she had records of these and they screeched their way through my life.
-
Pan flutes....they were all the rage in the 70s. Pan Flutes play the Beatles...Pan flutes play Led Zeppelin...Pan Flutes play Billy Idol....yech. For goodness sake, why would anyone want to listen to good music murdered on pan flutes?
-
Celine Dion
-
To me, there are no annoying instruments, only annoying music.
-
well any instrument can be annoying if not played well/right. but i'd have to say that the recorder is the most annoying even when played well
-
The Freakin Kazoo!!
-
Bagpipes ... only certain military cerimonies with bagpipes do not bother me because the "honour" overcomes the annoyance ... but otherwise, the bagpipes just annoy me.
-
Any foreign type of singing with large amount of vibrato and undulating pitch as to make no recognizable tune is very irritating.
-
The Clarinet. no offense to anybody, it's just a personal opinion.
-
the Oboe
-
Air guitar or air drums. Can't help it they give me chills of embarrassment for the "musician."
-
When played well, the piccolo. It's just high and annoying. When played poorly, the clarinet or violin, they both sound screechy and squeaky.
-
the tuba
-
Harmonicas or recorders.... even when played well
-
While I think it does wonders for certain songs, I find that the synthesizer cheeses up a lot of good music. I would probably like Bruce Springsteen and Depeche Mode a lot more if they toned down the synths. I would probably like the '80s a lot more if the toned down the synths for that matter.
-
A kazoo.
-
Anything used too much or out of context. I love the electric guitar w/heavy distortion. IE Pantera, Tool, Korn. Use that same sound for Dave Mathews or Sting (who I really dig) and it would annoy the hell outta me. Too much steel guitar in a country/Rock crossover defeats the purpose also.
-
The OBOE! ARGH!
-
Oboe, my dad thinks he's absolutely amazing and instead sounds totally painful.
-
The Tuba
-
Bag Pipes!
-
In this order; 1. A kazoo 2. A violin (if played badly) 3. An accordion (if listened to for over 2 hours)
-
the bag pipe
-
Clarinet. I think they sound really bad on their own.
-
toddlers drum, hands down the instrument of satan!
-
The triangle. I mean, seriously, what's next? The hexagon?!? lol
-
A Violin with a new player practising
-
As a composer, I don't think any instrument is annoying. It's how the instrument is used (and who uses it) that makes it annoying. Though this "annoyingness" might be because it is of a culture that we did not grow up in.
-
any one in the hands of someone that thinks they're better than they really are
-
Flute-a-phone
-
Bagpipes.
-
The Muzak device.
-
The recorder. It's tunelessly 'orrible.
-
I REALLY dislike the accordion. I grew up in a German-Czech town. It seemed every other kid was taking accordion lessons, and if there's anything worse than a skilled accordion player, it's an UNskilled one. There was a school orchestra (tiny town, small school), and the violin part was taken by ACCORDIONS. No one would have even considered studying violin.....
-
kazoo, violin played badly, recorder, flute played straight into your ear, organ sometimes.
