The general fan'n'critic community always saw Amnesiac as a lesser record to Kid A and even saw HttT as being the superior record; common understanding is that even Radiohead themselves never saw or intended Amnesiac as a masterpiece. Yet here I frequently find that people insist on it being their best.

Yeh, Life In A Glass House is a total leftover...Same with I Might Be Wrong, You And Whose Army, Packt Like Sardines, Pyramid Song...

Considering your reasons then you haven't listened to it enough to judge.

Nope, the first half is typical 90s Radiohead, and the second half is live material.

Compared to KID A, The Bends is a work of art. (Not sure this is an unpopular opinion but "KID A" was a waste of vital resources).

I also feel Madonna deserved to be inducted into the Rock N Roll Hall of fame based on her impact to Pop music (I think this is an unpopular opinion as well since most people I know think it was blasphemy to have her name up there with Rock N Roll legends.)

I agree with you on that one.

Tool's best album is Lateralus, not Aenima.

Tool's best album is Undertow, not Aenima.

My most unpopular music opinion is that American Idol sucks.

Rock =/= pop for the most part.

Sarcasm right?

Aside from Pulk/Pull Revolving Doors this album is gold all over.

I really like how it compliments Kid A. I really love the alien sound of it all, and the feeling of post-apocalypse.
