I always think that people dislike the sound of German because of its media representation. When it's only ever spoken like the political leaders in Triumph of the Will, it's understandably unpleasant. But I find spoken German quite beautiful (so much so I studied it throughout college). A good example of nicely spoken German is "Die Bombe die Nicht Tickt" (a reading of a short story by a German band whose name eludes me). Also the main character in Goodbye Lenin.
