Haha, this is awesome. I've been joking for a long time words you'll never hear among the guys: "Hey--you want to go see Coldplay in concert?" The worst thing is the ridiculous post-apocalypse Sgt. Pepper's costumes they wear. Regardless of how much money they make, I'd feel like an idiot having to wear those suits everywhere. Yeah, we get it. It's a theme. Clever.
You guys are crazy. Coldplay is amazing. Rush of Blood to the Head is, well, perfect. And so is Parachutes. And so is X&Y. Viva is their only shake album to date, for live performance reasons in my opinion. I know that this is just another useless opinion among all the others, but nonetheless. Can we get an age bracket of those involved in the commenting? I think that would be interesting...heehee. To each his own. And yes, the Grammy's are a scam. Except for the part when Plant and Krauss won Best Album. I don't care if its a scam, that record was fantastic.
Im another Coldplay hater... I just dont get it. It IS elevator music. I love the Plant /Krauss stuff...I love everything Plant does.
I don't think that good music is dead, I love radioheads newest album and their performance last night with the USC band was incredible.
Haha! Nice one. I'm in the "25-42" age bracket. Ahem. I can appreciate that Coldplay creates unique, original music. But it's very chick-ish, easy listening.
There's the song in question in the lawsuit. The local radio station was playing samples of each song (Satriani's I Just Wanna Fly and Coldplay's Viva La Vida) back to back, and it sounds very very very similar.
I HATE Coldplay w/ the white hot intensity of 1000 suns. U2 also, esp. that one newer song of theirs that has the "ya, ya, ya, ya" in it. OMG, as soon as the first note comes across the radio waves, I've got my hand on the dial.
How can you lot say this about two of the biggest bands in the world at the moment? I can think of loads of really GOOD songs from both bands. Viva La Vida was probably the biggest song of 2008, Beautiful day was one of the biggest songs of the late 90's early 2000's. We might just be talking about difference in opinion of age groups here, which i suppose is fair enough you generally only like the songs your brought up with and don't change from that. I'm not saying there weren't good musisions in the past like some of you have mentioned, but Coldplay is what they WERE..... NOW. Viva La Coldplay!!!
But, would you go to a Coldplay concert with another dude? OMG! That ya,ya,ya song is so annoying. I loved that South Park made fun of them. See comment below. Haha. Although JT made the right decision by doing his own thing. He's very talented, imo.
music doesnt seen to have a backbone or individuality anymore...coldplay, the fray, bands like these, they're just gay. no other way to describe it, gay. then bands that do "try" to rock, well they all sound like nickleback, and nickleback sounds like thier crap. its just terrrible, i dont know how kids today put up with this crap, i guess they just dont know any better.
I was thinking about this the other day. When will there be another genre movement? When will there be a band that begins a song with something that echos Smells Like Teen Spirit? Something you hear and you stop and pay attention.
Is this thread just a piss take of British music artists? Because i can think of plenty of examples for it to go the other way.
The fact of the matter is some of us like Coldplay and others hate them. That is life in general Personally i dont care for them, but with that said a lot of you may not care for my choice in music.
The type of music Coldplay makes should have disappeared when "Friends" went off the air. It's that type of coffeehouse emo crap that people who drink soy-everything and use recycled toilet paper would be attracted to. It's art house chick music pop that's right up there with Hootie and the Blowfish, The Counting Crows and Dave Matthews (although DMB has a kickass drummer). RMX
