First, coldplay neither sound nor aspire to be U2. At best you might have an argument like that regarding Radiohead. But, Coldplay has admitted that their biggest influence was Travis.

Plagiarism: Who knows. This stuff happens all the time...smaller bands/artists accuse a bigger one of doing it. Usually they don't win.

Take a listen. I definitely can can the similarity. But, only in bits of the original..when it goes to the chorus it is different.

The question is how Chris Martin (coldplay) came up with it...was it purposeful or did it seep up from his subconcious. Plus, how many rock songs are just a few chords away from each other.

Most Britpop rock bands sound similar b/c they pretty much have the same influences. I've always thought Coldplay sound a lot like the Verve, which isn't a bad thing cos the Verve were pretty good.

What makes Coldplay better than most is Chris Martin's vocal. Only Chris Carraba of Dashboard Confessional comes close to Martin's level.

Like Harv said if you can't just enjoy the music for what it is instead of what the misguided liberal musicians "stand for" than there is much in the entertainment industry that will piss you off.

That being said I would have to say the greatest rock band of all time would easily be Pink Floyd. Those guys are amazing and no other band can come close to replicating their sound, mainly because David Gilmour's talent and uniqueness just cannot be matched.

I know what you're referring to. Some unknown Brooklyn band is claiming they Chris Martin visited their set and stole the melody from them. However, the track was already cut in '07, six months before Martin even visited the unknown band from Brooklyn. It sounds like a loud of crap to me.

Matthews was good until they started playing stadiums, i lost interest then. As a conservative if all I listened to was "non-liberal" artists all i would be able to play is Debby Boone in which case I wouldnt writing this because I would have offed myself years ago.

Well, the other band would've had the song written prior to the visit as well, I suppose. The question becomes who wrote and performed it first...and as far as performing it goes, it looks like the other band wins.

Then you have Martin's recent comments about being the world's worst plagarist...which may not have been what he meant word-for-word, but it does seem there is some truth in the notion that Coldplay builds heavily off the work of others...even if they don't copy it directly.

So, in my mind, that reduces the value of their work...I'm not saying it invalidates their work, but if you take an existing work and tweak it to make it your own sound, I'm not going to assign as much creative value to what you are producing.

Well, Springsteen is probably still pissed that Reagan co-opted "Born In the U.S.A." for his campaign, when the song was meant to be a political critique.

Music is a primal form of expression. There's no reason to avoid politics in music unless the artist is only creating the music for the purpose of making money. Besides, almost every artist out there makes a political statement of some kind, even if it's just reinforcing the status quo (which is what most music does). For instance, even a sappy love ballad reinforces heterosexual normacy with male artists crooning about "her" beauty and female artists singing about "his" strength - or whatever.

We just don't perceive most music as being "politcal" - which is exactly what allows it to reinforce social norms (because we don't realize that it's happening!).

My avatar depicts an infant that is part human/part alien. The government started testing alien dna on humans after the UFO crush at Roswell; the Air Force was able to capture 4 aliens from an unidentified planet. At the height of the cold war, Ronald Regan signed off on 6 "Super Soliders"--solider that were cloned from alien genes--for Operation End Game.

I'm talking about how Coldplay likes to market themself and how Martin tries to push his political ideology through his musical success.

Martin wishes he was Bono...wishes he had the political clout and international stage to push his wacko ideology. I'm not really saying Coldplay is trying to sound exactly like U2 musically, although you can certainly hear elements of a U2 influence in much of Coldplay's work (not copying...influence).

Definitely. Many people still think it's a patriotic song. But that's the risk you run as an artist - music is interactive, so there's always the chance that the audience will interpret a song differently. Reagan didn't do anything wrong in using the song - but I'm sure Bruce didn't like it.

But anyway...back to your previously scheduled Tank-bashing. 8-)

Martin usually write the lyrics but all Coldplay's songs are composed by the whole band. They don't record a song until they all agree on it. I think all 4 members are even paid equally by their record company.

But yea, when people think of coldplay they usually think of chris martin.

Martin is certainly a better singer than Bono...Bono has never been a great singer. However, Bono is a tremendous lyricist and has incredible stage presence that few leads can offer.

I agree with the assessment that Coldplay is probably 85% Martin, while U2 is far more equally divided from a talent standpoint. That is why U2 has been able to remain relevant to popular music as a band for the better part of three decades.

Grohl is a better singer than Kurt, imo. I like Foo Fighters more than Nirvana. Maybe that's because im not an old fuck like you. :)

You are old too. You like a band that is so 2002. Get with the times.

Well to be fair he was right on with the dude from Dashboard Confessional. If you get a chance to hear him sing on the first Further Seems Forever album, do it.

And if you havent already, check out Motion City Soundtrack. MPLS band hitting big. Very clever lyricist and well thought out songs on the last 2 albums.

So how many of you have already bought or downloaded Viva? I'm guessing, me, Michele, Ballhawk and Tyrone.

Great album. All tracks are great. My favorites are 42, Yes!, Strawberry Swing, Death and All His Friends, Viva La Vida, and Violet Hill. :)

Make the world a better place and go buy/download Viva today!!!

Gotta be honest, I really don't like them. I don't dislike them, but I'm not going out of my way to listen.

I'm probably 4-5 years older than you, just way smarter.

Grohl is a great singer no doubt, but how was his singing in Nirvana? Is the drummer going to be the frontman? The suggestion was that Kurt was Nirvana, and I believe he was.

Hey man....nice shot.

You're a dumb fuck.I am smarter than you. :lol:

I am just suggesting that I like Foo Fighters more than Nirvana. Smells like teen spirit is ok. :)

Foo would definitely be closer to your thing.

Bleach is in my top10 all time favorite albums.

And no...you're a tard. You're ability to learn is very dimished, or you just choose not to.

While bleach was a great album, im going to have to go with nevermind as nirvana's best album.

The foo fighters, and nirvana are both of my favorite artists,
On a side note did anyone see the foo fighters concert last night on fuse?

I have an acoustic "Times Like These" and "Everlong" that you'd like. (I can email them to you)

Also, my favorite Nirvana album is "Unplugged in New York".
I love the Stripped down acoustic renditions of Nirvana hits and covers

I've seen Foo at the BC. Good band. REally enjoy their older stuff.

My taste in music is constantly evolving. I'm not sure what I'm in to.

That is something that probably will never change. One day I'm tuning into an 80's station, the next I'm listening to R&B, then my all-time fav group, STP...the list goes on. There are also some genres of music that I love listening to live, but to sit and listen to it from a CD...forget it. BLUES !! Love, love, love, live blues & jazz!

I can so relate to that one...especially live blues at an outdoor venue. Love it!!

Kurt was Nirvana, etc.

Well.....

Grohl is a great drummer, but Novaselick(sp) was barely average. Without the voice and the angst of Kurt, there was no Nirvana.

Krist...his importance is not only in the playing.

Without all 3 there is no Nirvana...they had a band with a different drummer and it wasn't succesful.

As for U2...the bassist was subpar and Adam Clayton was a decent drummer..but far from being great..or even really good.

The "hey man..nice shot." reference had nothing to do with Nirvana.

Geeze man, I know. It was just a funny place to drop in a Filter reference from their only good album.
