I guess it's all down to if you like the band (or genre) or not. In the case of Spin Doctors, I'm seriously no fan of their music. I would also like to throw in "Little Miss Can't Be Wrong" in there as well. 90's Mediocrity defined.
With that out of my way, there a lot of songs with repeated riffs that I love, but once again I like Flipper ("Sex Bomb"), "Louie Louie" (Especially performed by The Sonics), The Trashmen ("Surfin' Bird"), and The Velvet Underground ("Sister Ray").
Getting back to musical pet peeves, "Gangnam Style" was very annoying on first listen, no matter what it was about. For me, it's all down to actually being a listener to the style of music or the artist.
Trivia note: I think I remember some toothpaste commercial using music in the style of the "Two Princes" hook back when the song was kind of relevant to it's time.
