The natural follow-up.
I don’t really have tunes I hate. I’m sure Butterfly will come up, but I think folks don’t like it because it’s hard to play well. The A part of it I do, in fact, hate; parts B and C I like a lot. I’m a bit bored with Kesh, but I don’t hate it; I actually thinks it’s a very good tune.
I kinda hate most jigs with lots of parts for no particular reason, boring jigs like Dr. O’Neal’s and Jig of Slurs.
Well, there you go. Have at it.

I think you ended your own post by substantiating your issues with said tunes.

I can’t come up with five since I naturally gravitate to tunes I like. But…I absolutely cannot stand the hornpipe “Rights of Man.” There…I said it.
I have to say, though, that there is a version of the tune (played on low whistle) on “Four on the Floor,” by Old Blind Dogs (track 10) that is actually pretty cool. Nevertheless, I hate playing and I hate hearing it played by most people.
Much like Crickett I only have a single tune I really hate. Pipe on the Hob. The two-part version, not the one played by, for instance, Bothy Band. I loathe it.
I can’t see what anyboday can have against Pipe on the Hob, The Rights of Man, The Butterfly, Dr O’Neill’s or The Kesh.
The Jug of Slugs doesn’t really count as a tune - it’s more like a slimy excrescence. And please don’t even mention TL (I can’t say its name).
I don’t really “hate” any tune, but there are certain old standards I tend to groan inwardly at when they get started at sessions - not because I think they’re bad tunes, just 'cos I’ve played 'em too often…
The Maid of Mount Kisco
Harvest Home
Morrison’s Jig
Cooley’s Reel
The Primrose Lass (actually, I haven’t played that one so much, but it’s an exception that I genuinely if totally irrationally dislike).
I like the Jug of Slugs - not slimy at all, but I kinda concur with Ben about Tam Linn.
Aarghhhh!!! Put it away!!!
I have nothing against the kesh, morrison’s or Cooley’s, even though you might sometimes like to play “something else”.
Tunes I dislike in particular are modern, unnecessary complicated tunes, with an odd harmony, 7 parts and a half, strange keys…
There are lots of fiddlers here in Toulouse who play that sort of things, poor me… 
“music for a found harmonium” ( http://www.thesession.org/tunes/display/346 ), for instance, is not only bloody difficult for the (unkeyed) flute, but sounds lousy to me.
I have also in mind a tune which merely consist in a small pattern repeated four or five times a semi-tones upper each time. Boring, difficult and no interest in that.
The tunes I don’t like are the tunes that I don’t play well.
The reason some tunes are played so often (over-played?) is because they are really quite lovely- such as Kesh, Boys of Blue Hill, The Wise Maid, Maid Behind the Bar, Cooley’s. I still find the last three challenging.
Here’s a classic old chestnut: Joe Cooley
I don’t hate any of the trad tunes.
I do actively dislike certain modern tunes I’ve heard that seem to be intended to frighten people. Forgive me if I don’t know the names. I don’t even know the names of the tunes I like.

I super double dog disagree with this! yes its almost impossible to play even on a keyed flute but our accordian player starts it and it allwayse takes me back to summer afternnons listening to my dads record collection in the guardin.
the only tunes i hate are the ones i can play yet - there are a few specific examples of tunes i can ‘nearly’ play but for some mad finger spagetti in the middle, funnely enough there mostly all fiddle tunes 
My dad doesn’t have this tune in his record collection, that’s maybe why I don’t like this tune ! 
I don’t hate the tune its just hard to play: Bunker Hill. I agree with Tam Linn. Should be banned.
excuse me but what’s wrong with tamlinn ?
One tune I just cannot stand is Father Kelly’s Reel. I do hate the Jig of Slurs as well. I find the Salamanca very boring to listen to but it is kinda fun to play as well as the Gold Ring even though I can only fake it if some one else starts it. I used to hate Maid behind the Bar and the Moving Cloud but that changed when I heard Matt Molloy play them; still kind of hate them when anybody else plays them though.
As said before, some over-played tunes do get on my nerves, but I don’t hate them because they’re good tunes after all, I just don’t like playing them. There are other tunes that I find simply useless, not horrible but I don’t see the reason to play them, they’re just not enjoyable to me. For some reason I tend to skip the battering ram when I find it on an album, and salamanca too but is kind of fun to play after all.
Will You Come Home With Me? is one of the worse I’ve heard, I usually can’t stop saying “NOOOO” aloud when somebody starts it…
Yeah, I don’t really know about Tam Lin. Don’t play it. Could on my silver flute, but I don’t bring that to sessions.
I think it’s one of those tunes that when I hear a bunch of fiddles blasting away at their low notes in a minor key in unison, it reminds me of the music played for US football films and the narrator says things like, “On any given Sunday in the NFL…”, “The frozen tundra of Lambaeu Field…” Kinda’ like it for that reason.
Aargh, that is a frightening, horrible jig 
!
much easier to “hate” the treatment than the tune
Hi Jem
You could always play the “Glasgow Reel” instead
