Gonna go against the grain here with something classical: Pachabel’s Canon in D. I liked it when I was a kid, for at least the first 10 or 20 times I heard it, but since then I’ve probably heard it thousands of times, and I’m not even a strings player. I’m not exaggerating either; it’s in so many commercials, weddings, movies, just over loudspeakers in the grocery store… ugh it’s inescapable. Pretty the first few times, sure, but it’s so aggressively bland.
Haha I have, at least if I’m thinking of the right thing, the YouTube video? He stretches a few (my degrees are in music theory so I can hear what he means and not all of them are exactly the same chord progressions) but I feel seen nonetheless.

I didn’t have a solid answer to the question until I read this. Absolutely gets the worst response from me.
First two chords and I’m like “nooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!”
Have you seen Pachebel Rant?

Yeah, Rob Paravonian.
I could have sworn a friend of mine wrote this, because he often said the exact same thing. But, he was a string player.
Personally, it seems like I can’t go a day without hearing one of The Four Seasons in media.
Yeah, I feel for the string players, honestly. Especially the ones who take wedding gigs.
The cello has to repeat the exact same 8 notes throughout the piece.
