A few major ones off the top of my head:
Depeche Mode:
I don't hate these guys as much as I used to, but they're still somewhat disappointing. Somone recommended them to me about two years ago since I was heavily into The Cure at the time, and yeah, this just wasn't doing it. Again, I don't hate them as much as I used to. I can enjoy the odd single from them every now and then.
Dead Can Dance:
Thought they'd be similar to the Cocteau Twins. Some of their stuff is sonically impressive, but overall it's just way too bombastic sounding for my liking.
Animal Collective:
Rob put this one perfectly. They're pretty interesting when they can get their shit together, but too much filler keeps me away from listening to a full album of theirs. I still like Spirit They're Gone, Spirit They've Vanished, though it's technically credited to Avey Tare & Panda Bear.
Refused:
I was quite excited to get The Shape of Punk to Come since my friend loves it (I usually trust his taste) and I thought the Ornette Coleman reference was neat. Immense disappointment. I'm not sure what the big deal about this band is. They just sound like a watered-down Fugazi with a shitty vocalist.
