The sound of a harmonica can really grate on my nerves. I also ascociate it with types of music and artists I don't like. Bob Dylan for exaple, whose music is like knitting needles in the ears for me.

What a random list of instruments.
By the way; I like all instruments in a certain way, when put to good use. The bagpipes are too often used in popular music, and it works on my nerves. But is says more about me than about the instrument.
I think i dislike whistling with the mouth the most (like Scorpions' Wind of Change or Guns n Roses' Patience). but that's not an instrument.

So, what have people voted for? Have you responded to the poll question and picked the one you "actually like" or have you responded to the threadi and OP question and picked the one you don't?

I quite like both the Harmonium and the bagpipes.
Harmonica is my least favorite.

I love the harmonica in this:
I watched this movie last week, as Im a huge Bronson fan... Once upon a time in the west is a great movie.. If you like the Good, the Bad and the Ugly with Clint Eastwood, you will like this movie. Eastwood was originally casted for this role but he turned it down.

I'm a huge fan of Ennio Morricone soundtracks, but also like Bronson films. I have very fond and vivid childhood memories of my first trip to Oregon watching Death Wish in the inn. The Morricone soundtrack for another Bronson film, Città violenta (aka Violent City aka The Family) is one of my partiucular favourite soundtracks.

My vote goes to the melodica.
Runner-up is ukulele, when use in the service of insipid songs like "Hey, Soul Sister".
And what's the deal with "pirate choruses"? (i.e. a chorus of male voices singing "woh-oh-oh", always the same few notes - see Phillip Phillips' "Home", fun.'s "Some Nights", Andrew McMann's "Cecilia And the Satellite")

I'm confused.
Anyway didgeridoo - ehh...as in an instrument I do not actually like. Never!
Those five instruments in the poll can truly sound awful, but all have the potential to be fantastic used in the right way (just like a saxophone - or a guitar).

The post is confusing as Dean mentioned......but I never have cared for the sound of an accordion; but that might be because my parents used to watch The Lawrence Welk show when I was a kid and I hated the accordion music on that show.
