For the most part I hate falsetto singing. There are a few exceptions.
I am not a fan of long intros especially if they're not layered or evolving. This also goes for songs that are so subtle in changes that they seem looped, such a Carnage Visors by the Cure. Almost 30 minutes long and nothing seems to be happening.
I also tend to get irritated when a song keeps repeating the same word throughout a song. Even though I like the Cars. Ric Ocasek is the worst offender. An example from one of his solo records.
"They Tried"
They tried to tear you away
Yeah, they tried
Oh, they tried to lie in your face
Yeah, they tried
Oh, they tried to tip you off sweetly
Yeah, they tried
Oh, they tried to get on your good side
Yeah they tried, they tried
They never got the picture
They never got the joke
They never felt your fire
They only saw the smoke
They tried to tell you what's right
Yeah, they tried
Oh, they tried to push you around, yeah
Oh, they tried to be what you wanted
They tried, they tried, they tried, yeah
They tried to get you for nothing, yeah
Oh, they tried
They never got too conspicuous
They never felt quite right
They never knew your darkness
They only saw your light
Oh, they tried to make you out stupid
They tried, they tried
Oh, they tried to come on like Cupid
They tried, they tried, they tried
Oh, they tried to tell you what's real
Oh, they tried
Yeah, they tried to stay on your heels
They tried, they tried, they tried
They never knew what ticked you
They never knew for sure
They always said they picked you
They never knew what for
Ah, but they tried
Oh, they tried to pick you apart
Yeah, they tried
Oh, they tried to be your best friend, yeah
Yeah, they tried to top you off sweetly
Yeah, they tried, yeah
To get on your good side, yeah
To get on your good side, yeah
To get on your good side, yeah
To get on your good side
They tried
To top you off sweetly
Yeah, they tried
