Mylo had some kick ass tunes on it. - Hurts Like Heaven (such a great feel to it) - Charlie Brown - Us Against The World - Major Minus (pretty dark for Coldplay but excellent) Totally agree. What pisses me off is so called 'intellectuals' who claim Coldplay are shit...and when you ask why their only response is 'Because they aren't rock n roll' I've had people tell me this, in cyberspace and in real life and I just think that is the dumbest thing I've ever heard. The thing is people don't want to be one with the crowd. They want to unique. I've seen people who like Lady Gaga loving Coldplay, so these people assume if this person who likes Gaga likes Coldplay also, they must be crap without even giving them an honest chance. I've seen this in real life. People who haven't heard a single song of theirs putting them down because they are: a) Liked by teenage girls who like Gaga/Beiber b) They aren't Rock N Roll c) They have 'no attitude'. And it just gets on my nerves after a while. I mean the band never claimed they were 'rock n roll' or that they're full of attitude. They make good music, that's all. Whether a Beiber, Lady Gaga, Rihana or even a Kanye West fan likes it, it doesn't make the quality of their music any less. Uh-oh...went on a rant again.  "so called 'intellectuals' " ...Hmmmm why did you put quotes around "intellectuals" when you have already preface it with the "so called"? |

Not sure if sarcasm or massive Oasis fan.  It was mostly sarcasm, but to me Sgt. Peppers is vastly overrated as well. thank you!! i thought i was the only one? to me, abbey road IS and always will be the greatest beatles album. |

Gem's songs always sound like they're stuck in some awful 90's latin rock era or something. "awful 90's latin rock era" .....Was it awful because it was overly-influenced by Virgil?? ....Oh, you mean, like Ricky Martin and "She Bangs"? that's rock ya know. |

I never got this "us vs. them" mentality for music. Even in Oasis' prime in the mid 90s, it didn't stop me from listening to Blur. There is room for all when it comes to music if you want it to be so. Too many follow the Gallagher beliefs TOO strongly. There are many great bands out there other than Kasabian and the Arctic Monkeys.  Oooh, weren't you an anomaly during Britpop's heyday!! |

Bruno you make a point there. Me I never liked Coldplay. Except for " yellow " and a few others. But not because of the reasons you said so thats cool just like I don't dig radio head. I do like some of it. But in general not my bag .. But at least I listened and didn't pre judge to be trendy , not my style anyways and as you know I'm no fucking intellect I believe in giving a fair listen them use your ear if it hits you it's cool if you don't move on ...when it comes to Coldplay , I moved on same for radio head but at least I listened with my own ear  . ,

If you give it a chance and then you don't like it fair enough. But having preconceived notions and hang up about them and not having listened to them, just slagging them off just to be different from the pack is not cool. Good on ya for giving them a fair chance mate! |

"Parachutes" is an excellent album and, in my opinion, their best. I prefer the old Coldplay but I still respect them for trying something new.

Trolls are out early tonight it seems. LOL ...Love how the terms "troll" trolling" are so pliable now-- so arbitrary to allow the discreet "non-trolls" to distance themselves from those awful blatant trolls, whose underlying objectives bore many similarities to the "non-trolls" than they would like to admit-- as if their absurdum ad infinitum was any better than the proclaimed trolls' reductio ad absurdum. Anyway, MORE "JAW-DROPPING" AND OHH "GIMME SHELTER" PUT-DOWNS PLEASE, YOUNG GENTLEMEN!! |

Good on ya for giving them a fair chance mate! Yea and I will listen to them and radio heads new stuff as well I haven't liked anything of late but it don't mean they both cant make something I would like so why not listen rather than say oh I hate this I'm team Noel or I'm team Liam. Or I can't possibly like a blur tune Liam and Noel don't like them. Fuck that. Liam and Noel don't pay my fucking car note , rent , vacations , or concert tix , when they start ill listen to them like I did my parents when they paid .. Til then I do what I want and if blur make or made a good tune ill listen same for any other band ,.. I think Lennon said it before leave grudges to sports. There ill hate til I die , but here it's just music why the team shit was so lame |

Think Coldplay's first 2 albums are great, was only 1 or 2 tracks on the 3rd album that i liked, and by the 4th album their new material just doesn't do anything for me.

Coldplay ARE amazing live! I have had a few wow moments with their music.
OK Some dodgy & depressing tunes here & there but a solid album band overall. More than can be said for alot of other big artists out there today.

All of their albums are listen-able and I don't get why so many people hate them because they're boring. I get if you're not into their music (ex. I can never get into Arctic Monkeys) but they do have some good stuff if you like that pop/soft rock sorta thing. Even if you don't like their change of sound Mylo Xyloto was a good pop album. I've seen them live, they're a decent band. When it comes to hating on popular bands, I'll leave that for Nickelback.  |

I'd put Politik, A Rush of Blood to the Head, In My Place, Fix You, Sparks, Yellow, Don't Panic, Amsterdam, and many others up there with any other band's greatest songs. FACT.  |

It's obviously hard to judge off a 30 second clip...
but SBOTA does NOT sound like a 'hit single' which they so badly need. It may be a good song, but if that is already the chorus (or part of it) we are hearing, that is not gonna cut it for radio. I personally don't care if they sell a ton of records or not, I'll buy it either way. But if BE are ever going to stop getting crap for being in Noel's shadow then they better have something 'catchier' than that up their sleeves....
No?

Coldplay ia great background music when you're doing math.
But if I'm not multitasking when I listen to them, it just bores me to tears.

I've seen them live, they're a decent band. When it comes to hating on popular bands, I'll leave that for Nickelback. See Teal it's not so much that I hate them cause there boring. It's just that there boring , and most oasis supporters treat oasis like a football team ...very passionately It's hard to get worked up over a Coldplay concert or song , they are as ash & debris just said like background music ... To me that's doesn't spur passion ya know ? I don't hate them. But I do find them boring and they don't inspire to me to follow them , there biggest cheerleader here was probably the most boring , art house person ever on a forum .i won't say who , cause then ill be talking about someone who ain't here anymore britishlove knows of who I speak .... But they are the anti oasis to me , no passion , no spark , jmo. And your welcome to yours Edit : dev I know you two got along , I am not mentioning name. But he was very artsy and not in your way ,, we were oil and water and he worshipped Coldplay. So he is the perfect example to me of why I don't like most of there passionless work. IMO of course |
