Can't sleep, gonna ramble.
I don't know if these are unpopular or not, or if anyone even particularly cares, but whatevs, here's a few of mine...
Oasis' last two albums are their best. Kinda sucks that they split when they did, they were starting to get as interesting musically as they'd ever been.
Ziggy Stardust isn't that good of an album. Great songs let down by a pretty flat, muted production style - literally every song on that album sounds much better live. Aladdin Sane sounds much better so far as glam Bowie goes.
Calvin Harris sounds much better since he's been working with better collaborators. One Kiss is an absolute beast of a tune.
Flowers Of Romance by PIL is probably my favourite post-punk album ever.
A lot of the 1st wave British punk albums don't really hold up that well. The exceptions being Never Mind the Bollocks, The Clash and the Buzzcocks' Another Music In a Different Kitchen (which you could argue isn't really punk rock, but pop music played fast)
I love me some Bob Marley, but his bandmates Peter Tosh and Bunny Wailer made far more consistently awesome music.
Hallelujah is probably one of Leonard Cohen's worse songs.
13 is Blur's best album.
K is one of the masterpieces of Britpop.
Always Outnumbered, Never Outgunned is the Prodigy's best album.
And I think that's about it from me.
