Coldplay

[lazyitus]

Apart from Oasis, Coldplay are the only other group that I have every album. ( Except Banderas who only made one, I think. )


I've got to say that I think they've made some bloody brilliant music over the years.

The current album Viva La Vida is a great with LOST being the pick of the tracks.

Keep churning it out lads. Brilliant live too.

I caught them on Jools Holland last week. Really enjoyed it. I don't get the hate from some quarters.

Did anyone see Glen Campbell? I didn't realise he could play so well. He went out on a limb a bit on 'Galveston' but I still loved his solo.

Coldplay don't do it for me i'm afraid. Find 'em boring

[Albert Bridge]

I think they're fantasic.

I'd say so yes

[Yugguy]

I find the singer's insistence on constant high-pitched droning to be rather wearisome. He's actually got a decent voice when he's not squeezing his bks in a vice.

BOOOOO!!

Im not a fan of Coldplay, although today driving home from work and their latest was on, and I admit it was a catchy tune and i actually turned up the dial to 11!

[dilbert]

They're love it/hate it.

TBH their music has become bland, but their first songs were quite good. What you can't argue with is that their production is first rate, and I'm always a bit of a victim for well produced albums.

..One of the few Pop/Indie bands that I like and respect.

[Nadyenka]

They have very bad also boring guitar player.Same also for Bass player. They singer want to save the planet more than make good music.

Maybe Coldplay should recruit Joe Satriani as their guitar player (And no that wasn't a serious suggestion.)

Personally i think Coldplay have moments of excellence, like 'fix you' which is a lovely song. However generally they don't do it for me. Just a huge stab of blandness....

However i am a Rock fan so probably not surprising..

[Hunky Dory]

I don't dislike 'em. In fact some of their songs are ace.

It's just a mystery to me why Chris Martin writes so many vocal parts that he can't quite seem to "comfortably" reach the notes in...?

I've never heard that before in my life, but it's absolutely brilliant. Thanks
