Whoa there! Saudades do Brasil is marvellous and I've always liked it. Lots of other nice Milhaud, Poulenc and the other Frenchies.
Much easier to list recordings I hate that others love......

Pachelbel's CanonI used to agree with hating the Pachelbel until I hear the Savall version on his CD Ostinato. It removes all the dirge-like qualities usually heard and is fun. I guess most performers ignore that the second movement is a gigue.
Even Bernstein liked the Saudades and played it in his Harvard Lectures.

Well, I hope that you and Owen have booked your tickets for the
Philadelphia Orchestra's 2023 season where some of Alma's works are to
be performed as part of the Big Cheese's new emphasis on inclusivity. I
suspect that these will be drawn from the seventeen surviving lieder
noted by Wikipedia, rather than the long-forgotten theatre songs, as
previously cited, scored for mezzosoprano, C melody saxophone, violin,
cornet and piano, later discovered in the basement of what had been
Barney's Burlesk Theater in Akron, Ohio, where Alma had been putting on
the old hot wiggle to assist her husband with the rent on the old
shovel and broom. Oral tradition maintains that her performances of
'Stinker Lee' and 'Nobody In Town Can Bake A Jelly Roll Like Mine' -
her English was never perfect - brought the house down every time.>> I

Correction: what Alma actually sang was "Nobody in Town can bake a
Casserole like mine' which rather missed the point, much to the delight
of the audience.

Speaking of drag, Kylie and Danniii Minogue have just opened the Sydney Gay Mardi Gras. Do you think they could give a much-needed boost to the Met? Fiordiligi and Dorabella? Clorinda and Thisbe?
The Met could probably stand a bit of loco-motion. They're high on the
loco already, but slow on the motion.

Milhaud. Piano concertos and Saudades do Brasil.
Kabalevsky. Piano concertos and music for piano solo.
Godowsky. Music for piano solo.
Etc. etc.
I hate so much that others love (everything before Bach, almost everything after 1950, all operas, all ballet music, ...) that I wouldn't know where to begin.
