Ok, here are a few:
-Kid A is one of the worst albums of the decade.
-The Flaming Lips output has been more mediocre than good as a whole. And I consider myself a fan of the band. Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots is especially bad.
- Slowdive > My Bloody Valentine
- Most of the 'original' shoegaze bands sucked...like Chapterhouse, Lush, Cocteau Twins, Pale Saints, Galaxie 500, Ride (sans a few songs), etc. Which brings me to my next unpopular opinion that 4AD is arguably one of the worst of the independent record labels.
- The Hold Steady are an inconsequential bar band with almost no discernible talent.
- The new breed of indie/folk/slowcore songwriters like Bonnie 'Prince' Billy, Bon Iver, and Iron & Wine are insufferable. They are all a bunch of half-rate Mark Kozelek wannabes.
