Coldplay

Coldplay is ok, but they tend to have the same songs over, and over, and over, and over. Same with the videos.

Then why is this "ok"? At least make it good music.

I disagree.

Radiohead have never been replicated. Coldplay are one of those bands who aren't obviously as pop as Britney Spears, so the idiots think that if they like Coldplay or a guy at a piano, it means they like good music.

They're the piano version of Franz Ferdinand.

That is so true. I know some people who listen to Coldplay and they think Coldplay are rock, but if you listen to anything they do it sounds way pop. The only part of that i disagree with is the Franz Ferdinand part cause i can actually stand Franz Ferdinand most of the time, where as Coldplay i have to change the chanel or run away FAST

I would just like to say that Coldplay is awesome--they've come out with three great albums--I personally liken them to U2--

I hate Coldply. Their music makes me wanna slit my wrists. Bad.

I liken them to U2 also. Boring music for boring people who strive for credibility without trying and ironically, don't gain it.

I somewhat agree with you there Eis. I been a fan of U2 since I was a little puke. And I don't consider myself boring (unless other people perceived me differently) and occasionally listen to Coldplay. I do like that song clocks and do like their piano songs. I don't think coldplay is a great band but they're okayish.

I think that post is idiotic to say the least, clasifying people by their music tastes... I expected more from the great AC

Don't take what I say too literally. I am, after all, the great AC. I'm also human and partial to a little non-literal humour too. I wasn't classifying people by their music tastes either, I was comparing the two.

A suggestion you may wanna take heed of 🙂.

It also doesn't make my claim any less true. Coldplay are a band continually cited by people who don't want to seem too into shit music and see Coldplay as safe middle ground, which was my point. As said in a previous post.

I can appreciate a song or 2 by em, but most of their songs sound kinda dull.

They are in no way the piano version of Franz Ferdinand though.

Franz Ferdinand are actually quite good.

Franz Ferdinand are close to being one of the dullest bands around. When I said piano version of Franz Ferdinand I meant they are in the sense of, same thing all the time. If you love their first album, you'll love their 6th. They aren't gonna change, they've hit a formula that works and due to their lack of talent, they'll keep producing it.

😮 I like them. Guilty pleasure... like everclear

AAnd about that last bit, it still is idiotic to generalize I'm not a boring person I don't give a damn if people think im into 'shit music' I like what I like.

Comparing the two? as in people who listen to coldplay and those who don't?

Why is that last part needed? You know I wasn't seriously generalising.

I've never said you have no right to listen to Coldplay. They are shit though.

I'm not being paranoiD. I'm making a point.

I can't tolerate them for longer than a couple of seconds. I do agree that they receive too much unearned critical acclaim.

I don't really have a problem with bands hitting a formula and sticking to it, as long as the formula is good.

Rammstein are a good example.

Coldplay just repeat a really dull formula.

Rammstein have sound that is theirs, that's a lot different to just having a sound you repeat over and over.

They sound like they do because they are Rammstein. Reise, Reise is different to Mutter, Mutter is different to Sehnsucht. Coldplay's albums are hardly different.

Paranoic is a word you phlegmer.

Ha, maybe I'm going insane, but I quite like their new single. Doesn't sound like anything they've done before, it's...not boring.
