Used to hate Brahms' Lullaby with a passion. Took me a month to be able to play it. Now, I hate Handel's Joy to the World. Really hate it.

Ok, de gustibus etc., but the music was likely cobbled together from bits of Handel, rather than actually composed by him

Also, second theme in first mvt. of Brahms' Sym. No. 2 is so reminiscent of the lullaby it took me a while to get past it. Now love Sym. 2
