These guys seem to get a bad rep, why is that? I love them... nice, wimpy, harmless pop rock! Nice sounding ringy guitars, catchy choruses, come on... they're great.
Am I stupid for liking them, or do the rest of you abnormally brilliant IDMers like the as well? If you hate them, then why?

I love both bands' ''wimpy, sensitive guy'' lyrics. And nice, nice overproduction, lots of candy coated guitars!

Don't panic is a lovely song (coldplay) couldn't hack 'em for long though
Travis are poo "Driftwood" is one of the most self-reverential, sneering pieces of snotty pap my ears have ever had the misfortune to endure .
"you're driftwood; hollow and of no use..." Thanks, I really wanted to hear that, lads.

No, it's not a windup! I love Travis, and I love Coldplay. I have all their albums, except Travis' first, which kind of sucks.
Then they got into the ''senstive guy'' rock, and I like that. Their producer (Godrich?) makes purdy sounds.
And I LOVE Driftwood, even if the sap can be cringe worthy! I love the music!

Purdy=pretty!
Jingly jangly guitars, lots of nicely, glossed over production. Not raw, that's for sure... Travis ain't GG Allin!

Coldplay is not bland at all. It's subtle and wonderful.
Travis I've heard too much off and am finally sick of. Seen them live three times and when I was asked to go when all my mates (about 15 or something) were going I just couldn't put myself through all that "niceness".
Travis' first album is just a compilation of rip-offs of Oasis' track "Digsy's Dinner" except not really that great and Fran's voice gets REALLY annoying when he groans.
I can still listen to The Man Who sometimes though, it's got some really melancholy tracks unlike the new CD which is all happy days and singing la la la.

I love Coldplay, and think Parachutes is a fantastic album!!! Travis however is alright, but nothing more... The Man Who has some good songs, but a lot of crap... I like The Invisible Band better...

I don't think there's anything intrinsicallly wrong with Travis or Coldplay. They're quite "nice", and they're certainly better than the glut of God-awful shouty American "nu-rawk" bands that seem to be doing the rounds nowadays (Limp Bizkit, Linkin Park, Slipknot, etc). I fucking hate that shite.

Wow, I think Travis is better than Coldplay... apparently I'm the minority. The Man Who is one of my favorite rock albums of the last few years. I didn't like The Invisible Band nearly as much.
And I'll check out the Doves, Ross, whoever they are... first I've heard of them, I'll look them up.

does anyone remember the song "Ain't No Love, Ain't No Use" by a dance act called Sub Sub?
Well Doves is exactly that band minus the female singer.

Sub Sub have a great track called 'Past'. Look it up. Its not like Ain't No Love; it guitars and beautiful.
I wouldn't bother with the new Doves album; I took mine back in tears of disappointment. Their first album 'Lost Souls' is a fuckin masterpiece and pisses all over boring indie trite like Travis. I've been plugging Doves here for ages and am glad to see someone else digs 'em.

the latest Q article described them as looking like binmen. In the same issue they said that of the old Oasis line-up. Must be their mot du jour.

funkmaster, one of my favourite new order songs :)
jonesy- i understand what you're saying..it seems a bit polished in quite a few places..i really don't like the track "words" either...but there goes the fear, pounding, sulphur man and satellites are reason enough to keep it, i think it'll grow on me
