COLD PLAY

Or were we supposed to pick the shitty band?

Coldplay >>>>>>>> Radiohead

/thread

:P

EDIT: As simple as it is, "Your skin - oh yeah, your skin and bones - turn into something beautiful" are my favorite lyrics.

...Coldplay, I'd most likely trip all over myself for either if they'd ever visit ALABAMA. No one ever comes here. The closest bands come is Atlanta.

EDIT: Yes, I'm fighting the good fight.

Coldplay has blown throughout the entirety of their existence.

...makes me a very sad panda.

Now you got a -1! :P

You'll be okay, as long as you don't like Creed. Or the Beastie Boys.

That cancels out my beloved +1!

I don't like Creed or the Beastie Boys, but... my poor Coldplay! I think some of you are trying your best to deny Coldplay's awesomeness and, dare I say, superiority (That's right. I said it!)
It's okay. Let it out!

I know you're masking your pain with Beasties hate, but you'll just never be the lyrical genius that is Biz Markie and thus will never be on one of their albums.

I'll say a prayer to St. Geddy tonight:

You can choose a ready guide in some celestial voice.
If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice.
You can choose from phantom fears and kindness that can kill.
I will choose a path that's clear. I will choose to listen to Rush, 'cause they're way better than the Beastie Boys.

I think thats what I'll recite every night...

Did Geddy Lee bang your mother?

Duh.

:D

lol

I want to marry him in that video.

If the former, I pick both. If the latter, I pick neither.

And thus, my answers average out to picking one.

or I will disown your ass.....

My age must be showing (or my geography anyway)

...you should just vote for Coldplay anyway.

:D

j/k, but they are both great bands. Perhaps you'd like them!

I speak from ingorance. As it is I have this crazy day job that sticks me in a different country just about every day, and I have heard precious little new stuff in the last 20 years, and could identify even less of it. Even so, it's better than a desk job, which would kill me by boredom. (He writes, coming to you live and in color from beautiful downtown Brussels, and have to be in Paris in 12 hours and in northern Germany 15 hours after that--get the idea?)

Kind of a freebie.

Never heard of Cold Play.

Also, you kids get off my lawn!

Suicide.

:rofl:

overall, I might say Coldplay. :hide:

"Clocks" is one of the best songs of the past decade.

I've tried for years to like Radiohead and I just can't.

Thom Yorke rightly deserves a "musical genius" nomination.

Although I'm no Coldplay hater. Flame away, but I like them. But they are not on the same level as Radiohead.

I heard one of their songs on the radio and I thought it was U2!

wiiiiiiinnnnnniiiiinnnnggggggg ! ! !

I like zero songs from Coldplay.

Radiohead, 1-0.

When it comes to my favorite bands, I tend to dislike their best known song. I don't know why, perhaps because they are always overplayed and you know there are better songs by the band that don't get that radio play.

Hence, I'm not a fan of "Creep", nor am I fan of "Bullet with Butterfly Wings" by the Pumpkins, nor am I a fan of "Closer" by Nine Inch Nails.

...and about Radiohead the band, for that matter, that none of them are too fond of that song.

Something about how it wasn't really representative of their sound.

Same sort of thing happened to Extreme with the song More Than Words. But I don't think they ever recovered from that first mega-hit, whereas Radiohead recovered rather nicely.

I identify.

Coldplay just plain sucks.

:applause:

I like Coldplay. I saw them live once and loved it; I still listen to A Rush of Blood to the Head and I still watch their live DVD from time to time. They are an enjoyable Britpop band.

But Thom Yorke is an absolute genius, and the talent surrounding him (Selway/O'Brien/Greenwood/Greenwood) is a creative juggernaut. Seriously, they have masterpieces in THREE DIFFERENT GENRES. When I first heard Kid A, I said to myself "Is there anything this band can't do?" They are the only band this generation that has begged that question from me.

Not to mention, Coldplay have tried to imitate them on several occasions.

Coldplay vs. Joe Satriani

Why emulate such a boring tune?

:hide:

even though the two can't be compared.

Arguably the best band today.

Too bad you couldn't have picked a better song...

...like "Just":

or "Bodysnatchers":

I see someone else put up "Everything In Its Right Place".

:hide:

My musical tastes are a little out there. This stuff doesn't hit me at all. To each their own though, and that's why we have a multitude of musical choices. There's something for everyone, and if any older person tells you that there's no good music anymore feel free to kick them squarely in the nuts, because there's never been more choices and more ways to get the music. If someone can't find anything to fit their tastes they simply aren't looking.

I rarely ever mock the music that people listen to. Taste varies.

Radiohead has helped me and continues to help me get through some very rough times in my life.

Some consider my musical tastes "out there". I think they are relatively mainstream.

I make fun my own music all the time. Look at this pic and tell me it isn't mock worthy...



Come on...you know you want to make a joke about that...and if you do I'll laugh along with you. ;)

I encourage people to listen to whatever floats their boat, be it Radiohead or Yanni or Cannibal Corpse, regardless of what others think about it. Music helps a lot of us get through the day. I'd kill myself without it, and I'm not joking. I've had many days where music is the ONLY thing that makes me want to see tomorrow. Another cool CD might come out, and I wouldn't want to miss it!

And for the record, I have no problems with Radiohead, and have mucho respect for some of what they do and say. The free download thing was awesome of them, and I see more and more bands following suit, or even telling people to pay what they want for a CD. I don't consider them mainstream as much for that attitude as for the music, which is relatively mainstream compared to the stuff I'm into (though not even close to mainstream compared to say Janet Jackson or Britteny Spears). I wish more bands with their popularity had their attitude.

Having seen Coldplay live I can honestly say that I do not rate them.
