I hate Coldplay and think Kid A might be better than OK Computer, and In Rainbows was good.
Game of Thrones was good for a few seasons but I lost interest. And from what I heard about the final season I’m glad I did. The same thing happened reading the Wheel of Time series. I guess I’m not an epic fantasy guy even though I read a ton of it when I was younger and enjoyed the LotR trilogy.
Breaking Bad was a slow start and I can see how it could be a challenge to get into. But it’s also the best drama ever created in any video medium if you give it the attention it deserves.
UnpopOp 1: zombies, vampires, superheroes… played out. We need new, creative ideas on the silver screen.
UnpopOp 2: this oughta trigger the forum: the world also has enough doom metal bands with inscrutable logos
Think it, be it.

And Radiohead hasn't made a good album since OK Computer.
I'm deleting my forum account but not before i delete all my posts that don't have upvotes

@GraemeE I see what you did there.

@mclaincausey Unpopular opinion addendum: Admittedly, Rainbows has some good tracks. However, a good album does that not make.

Feel like i should have stopped watching that show around the john lithgow days.
Same. If it ended there, it would have went down as the best show ever.

Kid A is the greatest album of all time. Accept that fact. That said, it’s not fair to base your opinion of subsequent albums on what they’re really capable of in Kid A. I like all their albums for what each brings to the table.
Now whatever this Coldplay nonsense I’ll let you guys figure out. I don’t know where to begin debating that.

I'm not sure what "wave" of britpop you would classify the early oughts but there was some objectively great pop music being made ie Travis, Doves etc.
I'm an exponentially bigger Radiohead fan than any of those bands but in their case the last remnants of "pop" was over by the bends imho

@Matt I’ve tried listening to Kid A so many times and I can’t understand the appeal. I’ll try again, just for you. I really want to like it. I’ve been a lifelong fan of their first three albums, but the later work (with the exception of a few
songs from Rainbows) has never made sense to me. What do you love about it? -
@Matt I would just classify them as indie..
a lot of brit bands from that generation I've listened to growing up was sort of classified in that genre
the arctic monkeys, mystery jets, last shadow puppets, the kooks, two door cinema club..etc

I tried to watch Breaking Bad twice, because everyone kept on saying how amazing it was, gave up both times through a combination of boredom and not actually finding it remotely entertaining.
Like @T4920 , I'm not prepared to put up with shit on the half chance it may get good.

On the subject of TV, I refuse to start any new 'Netflix Original' TV shows until it's all wrapped up and has reached a satisfying conclusion because of their track record of bailing on shit after a couple of seasons.
Nothing worse than really getting into something, then finding out they've scrapped it because it only achieved 85% of it's projected viewership numbers...
