Coldplay

[sheepshead]

Coldplay, like Dave Matthews has a large gay men and soccer mom following. just my take.

[Oscar]

I've got Billy Squier blasting right now. Now theres some music.

[LL2]

Who's Coldplay? Are they the ones that sand that stupid Yellow song or whatever is was called?

[Tyrone Bigguns]

The Clash are and will always be the best rock band. Really I don't think they have a bad song.

The irony of you extolling a band like the clash, whose politics are the complete opposite of yours...is just mindblowing.

Music is music. I listen to Slayer, but I'm not going to go all Ed Gein on some grave yard just cause I listen to Dead Skin Mask.

BTW, the Clash is not the best rock band. Pioneers in punk for sure. I have a hard time with labeling any band the best ever, though the Beatles last 3 albums are as close to perfection as you can get IMO.

Zool,

For the most part i agree with you, but for the clash and political bands..i have to disagree. The clash's music and lyrics and politics go hand in hand..it is all together.

And, like politics, as far from reality as possible.

DMB has a large gay men following. More like college republicans/frat boys. LOL

Exactly.

Unfortunately, that is exactly what happens...a bunch of frat boys rockin it out to RAGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...at Coachella. Completely unaware.

Kinda like Kurt Cobain..the same people that made his life miserable were now in the front row.

I believe there is a potential storm brewing that Coldplay copied their first single from their new album off some other unknown band. My wife was blabbering about it last night, but I wasn't paying complete attention...I could care less about Coldplay because I've always thought they sucked ass. They desperately want to be U2, but have 1/10th the talent.

So did Coldplay pull a Vanilla Ice, or what?

Go suck your mother's tits, Leaper. 1/10th the talent? Fuck you!

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.

Dave Mathew's Band kicks ass and I enjoy listening to them even though hes a huge lefty. If anyone has seen the new Adam Sandler movie Zohan you will know what I'm talking about, even though it was pretty funny part he played.

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.
