to be fair Peter its classic whiny bullcrap

[Tom4784]

I pretty much hate them, they have a few decent songs at best but most of the time they are repetitive and dull. Most of their songs are completely interchangeable.

i think their giving a bad rap
i taught they were great live and their 2nd and 4th record were great
well each to their own

You like Oasis... I don't expect you to understand. :)

Since when did the difference between a mediocre pop band that churns out schlagermusik at ten a penny and 'musical geniuses' become so tenuous?

and you hate the Killers and anyone that doesn't wallow in self-indulgent poetry and minimal musical prowess.

they make good melody, lyrics...there's nothing to hate :\

[MrGaryy]

I don't know really. When they come out with a really great tune, it really is great. But SO many of their songs are, as already said, interchangeable, they rarely branch out of thier comfort zone. They're talented they're just a bit depressing.

[CaraRawr]

They're a brilliant band - I prefer their older stuff to the Viva La Vida/Death And All His Friends era but they're still great. Chris Martin is a genius, imo.

God Put A Smile Upon Your Face :lovedup:

[Shaun]

for me, it goes:

1) A Rush of Blood to the Head
2) Viva la Vida
3) Parachutes
4) X&Y

I agree with this.

[lol]

I think clocks is a great song by them.

I love Coldplay.. One of the best, most consistent band around!

This is one of my faves... (of many)

I wish my geography teacher had looked like that!!

[NettoSuperstar!]

Theyre bland end of

[Stu]

I can't stand them. Downtempo purveyors of audible misery.

[BB_Eye]

and you hate the Killers and anyone that doesn't wallow in self-indulgent poetry and minimal musical prowess.

You appear to have me mistaken for a Coldplay fan. Either that or you're being very vague and will need to explain yourself. Is this how you perceive everyone who can't stomach generic arena rock?

they make good melody, lyrics...there's nothing to hate :\

I'm sure Pete Waterman or Andrew Lloyd Webber could write a melody, but their music is still contrived and emotionally shallow. Coldplay share a similar predicament. It's easy to say they are just following in the footsteps of Radiohead, but share none of that band's flare for mature songwriting or experimentation.

I would also contest the notion that they can write good lyrics. Case in point.

"O no, I see,

I spun a web, it's tangled up with me,

And I lost my head,

The thought of all the stupid things I said,

O no what's this?

A spider web, and I'm caught in the middle,

I turned to run,

The thought of all the stupid things I've done, "

Are you really so surprised that the kind of insipid self-pity and sentimentality expressed above frequently invite ridicule?

We don't care about Family guy.

maybe you dont, but I do, and it is in context with this thread, which is why i posted it :xyxwave:

Says a Depeche Mode fan.

Actually I don't particularly like that Joe Satriani tribute group.
