I just don't like whiney singers. ;) I listened to it many times on the radio in the morning and it made me fall asleep and be late for work more than once. But hey, people I know, love and respect like that album, it just isn't for me. |

i once decided that i'd never use the "rumba" rhytm again: it's the easiest there is after just on every beat in a 4/4, and just doesnt do much, besides being easy to think of. still it is a nice song, but i mainly think that because it's the only decent song on the radio (have to listen to collegue's radio). also i find that guy sincere. (another rumba-rythm track: rez, underworld, that's prolly why they never put that on an album, besides the live one (i believe that's the name of the track)) |

Why on earth they're compared to Radiohead I have no idea. Is it cause Chris Martin sometimes sings in falsetto? Well jesus fuck better lump 300 million other bands in there. The most obvious comparison is U2, especially AROBTTH which shamelessly steals riffs and vibes from War and The Unforgettable Fire. I think they write some ok songs, and that's about it. They deserve neither to be lauded over like some cosmic new force or to be hated with a passion. They're just there. Oh and the "Good luck with Kid A" statement by Thom Yorke just shows him up as an even larger self absorbed prick than I imagined. Good luck with Druqks, fuckwit. |

i think some of you are missing the joke with the whole gay thing.. i know text based mediums impair the effect of a joke but i think it's obvious that no one really thinks they're "gay" (come on, chris martin is boffing gwenyth paltrow, how "gay" is that?). it's a put on, making fun of testosterone-fueled teens who think anything they dislike "is gay." at least that's how i've taken this thread. cs2x, avatar... also a joke |

are you trying to say radiohead are emulating aphex? i mean i guess that's a good retort to the whole coldplay are radiohead wannabes thing, if you're making the point that "radiohead are aphex twin wannabes" is an equally unfounded and off the mark analogy, but to me the coldplay thing seems dead on. i think the best evidence of their biting would be their performance at this year's grammy's (download it..). chris martin gets on stage and mimes thom yorke movement for movement, syllable for syllable. to me it's blatant. |

OK, "good luck with LP5 then". And I stand by what I said, they-do-not-sound-like-Radiohead. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
did you see the grammy performance? (the autechre remark is closer to the bone.. ae/gescom definitely influenced some of the newer electronic tracks) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
What song did they do? Describe some of the similarities in the "movement" too, I'm curious. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
politik(s?).. just look at chris playing the piano, he mimicks thom to the T. my girlfriend, who is a coldplay fan, agreed when she saw it that he's totally pretending to be thom. |
||||||||
|

I'm sorry I find this really funny. There's not much range for "movement" when you're sitting down, using both your hands and having to sing into a mike is there? I take it his head was rolling side to side and he had his eyes shut and stuff. Well jebus, call the karma police. And call David Gray too, that fucker does the same thing. Maybe he does take little bits from Yorke, but I can say I've never spotted any, and Coldplay and Radiohead are on MTV2 in heavy rotation here, mainly half hour live sets. You must be looking really hard. And like I said, there's not much room for doing anything, unless you're Little Richard or summat. I don't know why anyone would copy Yorke in the first place as Radiohead are one of the least interesting bands visually I've seen. Even Martin jumps about with his acoustic guitar. |

coldplay are excellent... I have both cds of theirs, and both are quality releases... hey, so they might not be totally innovative and brilliant, but who cares? They're beautiful, and touching... and full of emotion... ain't that what counts? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
who cares who they copy live? And really, how can you say that someone jumping around, or the way they play piano is copying someone else? That's just retarded... the fact of the matter is, Coldplays music doesn't soiund like Radioheads music... and the music is what matters right? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ok, did you see the performance clip or NOT? now, i speak my mind on things, but i'm not audacious enough to speak on something i've never seen or read. some of coldplay's songs that i've heard are directly inspired by (to put it euphemistically) the bends. so are a lot of bands, but don't you think it's just a little interesting how so many people pin this radiohead thing on them? there's obviously something to it. coldplay themselves have never hidden the fact that they're at the very least big admirers of radiohead. to me this isn't a big deal, but i just think people should hone up to the influence radiohead have had on them. |

everyone coming out of Britain is considered radiohead clones man... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I can't believe how much Radiohead's 'Go To Sleep' sounds like 'God Put A Smile On Your Face'. Get a fucking lawsuit started Chris! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
And I really think you're nitpicking here Tits, like mullet man said the music is what counts and there's only basic similarity as far as I can see. And maybe those Radiohead comparisons are prevelent in US media but they all died once Coldplay's second album came out here. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
heh, coldplay are truly awful |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
and yes, coldplay sound a bit like radiohead in the sense that all rock bands sound a bit like each other because they use the same instruments... if you use guitars, bass and drums, you're bound to sound like another band using the same instruments obviously... as far as similar melodies, I have all the radiohead albums, and have listened to them plenty, and I have both coldplay albums and a single, and have listened to those plenty, and I really haven't noticed or thought "Whoa, that's a radiohead melody there!!"... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i didn't say they borrowed a melody, just some songs are very much in the bends style |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well yeah, probably... because Coldplay do softer, more melodic rock... and The Bends is fairly soft melodic rock as well... so, they're bound to sound similar... doesn't mean Coldplay is stealing from Radiohead though... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you make a good point |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I think Coldplay is good music... but i have to admit their music is damned depressing. I don't really like pop music though, personally. Coldplay, however, is far more bearable than a lot of other groups considered pop. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
maybe it was hearing a few coldplay songs on repeat over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over again (for work) that made me loathe them. i donno, i just cringe now whenever i hear the guy's voice. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i dont agree on that bands sound alike because they use the same intruments; if there was no radiohead, coldplay would have sounded different, i think |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I don't think they're that bad. Now that they're popular, of course everybody is going to be hating on them. They're decent for what they are, I like their production values. I liked the singer's collaboration with Ron Sexsmith, cheesy as it was. Chris Martin is marrying Gwyneth Paltrow... she went from Brad Pitt to THAT ''minger''! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Do you not fancy chris as much as brad ? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no, well they don't sound exactly the same, but obviously with the same instruments they're going to sound similar! |
||||||||
|

coldplay wouldnt receive the attention they're getting now if it weren't for ms. paltrow, by the way. thanks to the yentas of the world/industry. coldplay is completely and utterly derivative.. but a bland derivative. it's like someone spilled a radiohead drink and the carpet beneath soaked up some of the liquid and melted ice, but none of the flavor. they are professional radiohead fans. they will never be so bold as to go off in their own direction because, well they TAKE direction. the kid a comment was fucking hilarious.. as was the drukqs one.. but the latter is a bit off because they're (radiohead) using some aphex/autechre influence to ADVANCE/progress the genre they're working in.. they're not completely aping their sound! on the contrary... and it's an admirable thing to do. if they didn't, they'd be stuck doing what they'd already done very well, just not as well this time around. u2(1997), flaming lips, radiohead.. these are the rock bands that should be celebrated right now. they know the direction in which the next step should be taken. coldplay is bland, second/third-rate bend-era horseshit. if you disagree with me you're wrong.. and gay |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah that is a pretty assholish thing to say, especially considering his obvious influences (i would have said autechre myself).... but anyways, i thought coldplay sounded more dave matthews bandish, atleast the singer does. |

Thom yorke as a person is self righteous prick the gay remark started by me and I was kidding...but I do believe any guys who absolutely loves them (the way I do) is a bit strange Radiohead kicks ass though |

Couldn't have said it any better than Jarworski has put it. But, let me point this out to ya. You Lemmings seem to be (I take this from your posts) the sortof peeps who will hate good music, if it gets played just once, on mtv or the radio. Well get over it quick. As the human race progresses technologicaly, they're will be less work, and more play, leading to increase in leasure time to listen to music. So, your precious underground movement, that you so love to keep your dicks in all the time, will be found by the rest of the world. What will you do then? Hate the existance of music it's self? I hope not. You see, you people have gotten so involved in judging music that you don't take any time to appreciate it anymore. All music at some level will start to sound the same, there is no infinite number of diffrent songs that can be produced. So I suggest you start to know and love the ones that make ya feel good now. Who gives a fuck if you hate the band, if the music is good, listen to it. I hate fucking radiohead, met them in person in LA, and all of them are ego trip assholes that hate anything human...But you know what, I love there fucking music. Got every album, and tickets to their shorline amp appearence this year. Just ask your self this, if they started playing radiohead on the radio, mtv, bet, nbc, appeared on a now cd, and a kids bop one too, you name it; and everyone was singing their songs, and going fucking bonkers over them, would you still like there music, or hate them for all they're worth? |

its obvious coldplay have a way with pop but that is all it is they dont push any limits it is just music i find that boring but i know many who enjoi it so i have nothing to hold against them at least it keeps shite like the fast food rockers off the charts and of my radio |
