Here's some of my unpopular opinions:

Charles Mingus>>Sun Ra>John Coltrane>>>> Miles Davis
The Kinks are way better than The Rolling Stones
Tim Buckley>Jeff Buckley
Just about every indie band out there is overrated.(not sure how popular/unpopular this one is)
Frank Zappa OWNS The Beatles in the 60's which wasn't even his best decade(that was the 70's)
Broadway the Hard way is a good album as is Jazz From Hell.
The best guitarist ever was Frank Zappa.
Soul/R&B is a great genre and is better than Rap, Reggae,and Blues combined.
Neither Brahms nor Wagner were the best of the Romantics, Chopin was.
Tom Lehrer is the best popular music had to offer in the 50's.
J.S. Bach is boring, in fact the whole Baroque era had very dull music, with a few exceptions.
Radiohead is a great rock band but they were never that original.
Progressive Rock is the best rock sub genre.
Univers Zero is the best Progressive rock band.
Classical>Jazz
Metal is not very good.(This includes every sub genre)
Contrary to popular opinion Electronic music is indeed emotional.
I don't care what anyone say's Joy Division is Crap.
Ravi Shankar is better than Phillip Glass and a lot of modern composers for that matter.
Yes>Led Zeppelin
The Dead Kennedys>Fear>>The Ramones>>>The Clash
Post rock is indies take on prog except its boring unlike prog.
Neil Young is better than Bob Dylan.
Sparks is Amazing. Better than any other 70's, 80's, or 90's pop band.
Rap is a terrible genre, but not all of it is bad.
Elliott Smith>Nick Drake
John Cage is a crappy composer.
We need more organs, vibraphones and bassoons in music.
Emerson Lake and Palmer are amazing and better than Dream Theater.
Pet Sounds is overrated.
The album Loveless(My Bloody Valentine) should never be loved as the name implies.
Adam Lambert is a terrible singer as far as phrasing goes.
TuPac is not a good poet.
Mr. Bungle>Faith No More.
The Allman Brothers Band>Lynyrd Skynard.
Kind of Blue is boring.
FF6 and 8s soundtrack owns FF7s soundtrack.
Moonlight Sonata is Beethovens Worst work.
Rush is good but nowhere near the best prog rock band.
