There's only one sound I really hate. Some of the low end keyboards have this sound. It's hard to describe but... I think the preset is like JUG... or something. It's this weird Tom sound that just goes, GUHHHHH. Yup.

d'awww but that makes for the bestest basslines 
love acid bass with the res at minimum (ie no squelch)

fucking LOVE fm bell patches with loooooong release (<3 dems inharmonic overtones)
i love the sound of kate bush's voice
i love the bell tree
i love peacock.wav
i love the gm.dls square wave / "square wave"acid 303 quack squeak is a bit overdone
i hate the YOI YOI YOI noise some people like to make with the lsdj wave channel
i hate the blackout crew DONK
i hate the sound of metal/screamo vocalists screaming
i hate autotuned vocal "rap" noise like black eyed peas
Kate bush always.

the sound of a falling microscope is an expensive sound
i love it
like:
- NES triangle
- 303 + 808
- oldskool hoovers
- AY squares
- C64 low-pass filter
- OPL2 and OPL3 FM
- a small flame tugged by wind
- blackbird calls
- shortwave radio noise & distortion
- dust on vinyl
- a good female singing voice
dislike:
- Gameboy square
- Jupiter supersaw trance leads
- Autotune (lol, but yeah. Especially painfull in pop-rap)
- the squeaky sound inside your head when you bite on something like a paper towel or slip with a felt pen
- a bad singing voice (male/female diva yodel in particular)
- alarm clock (any)
µb, this song is for you
my alarm clock makes the same sound as the one this guy sampled

you're speaking from my heart bro!!! i'd sign almost the entire rest of that list, too. also i dislike autoduck. i do like rhodes piano sounds, overtone singing and the hurdy gurdy.
Haha irrlicht, I was actually thinking about adding rhodes and overtone singing to my list! I just thought if I get to specific, I'd never be able to finish that list.
Jellica: Gah! I think everyone has an alarm clock with that sound (I need a cacophony of three alarm clocks and one mobile to awake from my torpor, and one of them sounds like that)
dislike: sound of slick professional music
like: sound of crumby amateur music

oh, thats a great point! that 'generic modern recording production sound' is so... empty, all eq'd and compressed and limited to hell. its hard to listen to without feeling depressed by the lifelessness of it. ;(
I hate synth guitars and generally the overall feeling of music that is especially in Sega arcade games. Bad synthetized soft-rock sound of those songs drive me insane. But I guess the super annoying song writing plays a big part in those though. Synth horns and almost real sounding pianos are bad.
I love real handclaps, bells, triangle bass, home recorded guitar with bad sound, harmonicas, hammonds, dirty distorted guitars, cheap toy pianos. Feedback is good too!
Love: The pulse channels on the SN76489/SMS, 303/909, the flute preset on the Casio SA-5, using vocal samples as percussion.
Hate: OTT dubstep wobbles, flange, rapid panning, those trance synths that are in nearly every pop song in the UK, dramatic transpositions of the previous section throughout a song.
those trance synths that are in nearly every pop song in the UK
sadly it's not just the uk, man
NES triganle wave with a nice subtle reverb on it. The first time I did that in my studio I nearly died and instantly wrote a song with that and my acoustic guitar. Thats love.
LOVESES:
- anything with a low pass filter on it
- inspired variations of stutter/retrig sequences
- PWM square of course
- quiet whispery shibuya-kei girl vocals
- supersaw
- rhodes
- that crunchy C64 snare sound from commando (bonus points if you add the kick to punch out the snare even more)
- super-reverbed claps that accompany a snare just before the "next section" of a song
- the phasing brass sound that's always in those Carl Sagan videos
- the snare used in Ninja Gaiden 2 for NES - that's the crispest snare i've ever heard in NES history. OBSERVE:
HATESES:
- general midi or adlib sounds - some of them sound like really annoying bells that way have too much on the high end
- by extension, 80% of sega genesis/megadrive sounds. i think someone mentioned it already but there's this really cheezy instrument that everyone tries to pass off as an overdriven guitar but ends up sounding weaksauce.
- the default DS-10 sounds that come with every blank song
- lil jon "AWWW YEAH"s
