This is where we place the things we can't stand, barring the one situation/context in which we love them.
I hate Daydream Believer. It's one of my least favourite songs, and I'll generally leave a place when it starts.
However, the shit jihadist training montage from Monkey Dust is one of my favourite bits of TV. Set to? Daydream Believer.

I can't stand CSN unless Y is involved, and even then it's 3rd rate by Neil Young standards.
But ugh, CSN.. maybe the most OK Boomer band of all time.

I cannot stand sweet pickle relish, unless it's on a Chicago-style hot dog.
This is kind of how I feel about mayonnaise. I can't eat it unless it's on a deli sandwich with mustard, the mayo+mustard combo works. And even then, I only want a little, it can't be oozing out of the sides when I take a bite.

Eh, I'd say it's the Eagles. I mean, they have a song called 'Get Over It'.

I can't stand fish unless it's breaded and fried to the point where you can't tell it's fish. Y'all might like feeling like you're eating hydrazine but "tastes like toxic rocket fuel" has never been a top priority for my everyday language.

Not a fan of Wang Chung except for their work in To Live & Die in L.A. which smokes.
