Just past being seasonal now, but _“All I Want For Christmas Is You”_ by Mariah Carey. Never heard anything else of hers that I would listen to by choice.

_She Hates Me_ by Puddle of Mudd  
_Twist And Shout_ by Deacon Blue (what got into them the day they wrote this?)  
_Beautiful Day_ by U2

Oops, forgot the most obvious one of all:

_Unpretty_ by TLC. I’m mad about this song, but I could live happily without hearing any other song from the entire R’n’B-pop genre!
