Yeah , totally agree with this guy !

...

at least all these (2) Coldplay threads are finally making it look like ATRL is not some pop-princess-obsession forum...

This album is their best yet, I feel like they are evolving to a more unique sound. They're much better than U2 and Radiohead, that's for sure.

I prefer U2 over Coldplay. VLV is a great album but it's not better than X&Y.

Their last record was too plodding, though someone must have loved it, cause it sold a shitload.

LMAO.

i have nothing against coldplay but it was interesting to read what john lydon (singer with the sex pistols) had to say about them over the weekend in an interview at the isle of wight festival

heres what he said:
"I pity the poor b*****s who have to watch them. They are utterly humorless. I met them a few years ago, said hello and realized they were just men in anoraks. They looked like a gang of little poncy masturbators. There is no fun, they don't offer joy. Their music has a couple of quite nice tones here and there but it's a box of tosh sold to slightly inadequate, half-baked people."

Alright ! You guys hate Coldplay and Viva La Vida . But that won't prevent Viva La Vida debut no.1 Billboard Hot Album with a great sale number !

The Sex Pistols try too hard.

Yeah, U2 is still far superior. However, I think VLV is better than X&Y.

U2 > Coldplay

end of story.
AND I can't understand the hate on James Blunt

Radiohead are easily better, unless you're talking about The Bends.

Uh, coldplay is NOT a rock band. Neither is James Blunt. Wats up with that?! No wonder rock music is in the state it's in. It's cause every pop artist out there is being labeled pop incorrectly. And Colplay aint that bad. Theyr new album - o hell yeah - but theyr good in general

^ We all know that James Blunt isn't rock. I'd say Coldplay does fit into rock though. The are many different subgenres of rock. There are, however, other bands out there that need to stop being considered rock.

Radiohead is more groundbreaking than Coldplay...

...too bad i cant make it through in rainbows

Everytime a rock band (e.g. Coldplay) has crossover success, they get labeled as pop.
You might as well call Evanescence pop.. although I agree, James Blunt is not rock.

this makes me luhl.

Coldplay and Nickelback, yes.

What a horrendous article. And if you think that no heterosexual males like Coldplay, then you are retarded and ignorant, mostly ignorant. I'm not sure how anyone can say that Coldplay is the worst thing to happen to rock. They actually make music that makes people feel, like Radiohead, like U2, which rock bands are supposed to do.

If this article said that Nickelback was the worst thing to happen to rock, then I'd be applauding the writer. But since he didn't state that, he's an idiot.
