Who here likes Coldplay? I love the album Parachutes, in fact I'm listening to it right now... the songs are very good, running from positive, to negative, and they really achieve these feelings very good... I think the lead singer has a great voice as well... I think these guys are very similar to Travis, but better... althought Travis is a good band... what do you think?

i HATE coldplay. UGH. easily some of the most bland, uninspiring, and facetious music in the last decade. i just cannot understand why so many people like it. it always makes me laugh when people say 'parachutes' is the album radiohead should have made after 'ok computer.' fuckin' dolts. i hate travis too, which is unfortunate cos that's my first name. but i can't help that they suck. not as bad as coldplay tho. just godawful derivative shit, and radiohead will even tell you that coldplay are cold playin' them.

why don't you just listen to the bends more instead of listening to a totally unoriginal act? save yourself some money, or use it to buy a 2nd copy of the bends or even the first album. as much shit as radiohead get for pablo honey i'd say that album is about "10(0) times" more interesting than coldplay. shite. at least coldplay aren't going to try to copy kid a and amnesiac. that'd be laugh. they're making enough money copying off of radiohead's style from 6 years ago, sadly more money than radiohead themselves are making by persuing new musical frontiers. i think parachutes has outsold kid a and amnesiac, and it probably has outsold the bends in the united states too, which is really tragic irony.

the best thing about coldplay is their production.. but wait a sec.. as it turns out they used the same producer as radiohead!

I'm with titsworth. the music is bland, unoriginal etc. the sound/production is really good but then the quality of the actual music...

it's actually travis (almost the same band anyway) who used nigel godrich to produce their 2 (most recent?) albums. nigel produced 1/2 of the bends, and all of ok computer, kid a, and amnesiac.

Coldplay isn't very creative, or original... but they're damn fine pop craftsman. Very talented, I don't care how jaded you are.
Travis is better, though!

i do like travis better. like coldplay, they have a lot of bad songs. but they do have one i like a lot, "sing." i liked it enough to play on my show cos its banjos blended well with this mogwai song "2 rights make 1 wrong". "sing" doesn't rip off radiohead like some of their other songs do. coldplay are bigger copycats, hence their name (cold playin' the public for dolo).

actually what i was saying was that unlike coldplay, among travis's bad songs is one i like - "sing". coldplay doesn't have any songs that particularly interest me.

The Man Who from Travis is amazing, I swear it's my favorite guitar album of the last decade. (not including Radiohead, of course!)

I own The Man Who and The Invisible Band by Travis, and Parachutes by Coldplay, and although Travis have release some excellent songs, they have also release some very stupid and boring songs... Whereas PArachutes is pretty much excellent all the way through (my opinion)... I like Parachutes better... and sure it's nothing new and innovative, but who said you needed to be new and innovative to be good?

No way, Travis kicks Coldplay's ass! I love them both. Trouble is one of the best song I've ever heard. Driftwood, from The Man Who, may BE the best song I've ever heard!

The best thing about Travis and Coldplay is that one day they will die. I hope I'm there to see it.
Radiohead, on the other hand, are an amazingly inspirational, talented band. Pyramid Song sends shivers down me.

Coldplay are alright, nice n mellow, but I only like 'Yellow' and 'Don't Panic', rest of em are turds. Travis are fucking awful, apart from 'Writing To Reach You' which is average. Radiohead are pretencious student cunts and should die soon, so everyone can get on with their lives instead of wondering if they've been scared out of their Aphex phase by shit record sales

Ok, I've been listening to Travis a lot today and yesterday, and I think it's pretty good... still not as good as Coldplay, but pretty good... Parachutes is a great album!!! The Invisible Band is a good album!!! The Man Who is alright...

I think Yellow by Coldplay is an amazing song!!! I have never gotten sick of it no matter how much I've heard it, and it still sends shivers through me... I also think Safe by Travis is an amazing song!! A similar effect to Yellow...

I hate coldplay as well. Uninteresting, uninspiring, recycled rubbish. Don't people realize we need LESS support of this kind of industry bullshit? There are BILLIONS of cds out there from the past that are classics, people should invest money in these if the industry won't stop pumping out this crap.. I mean COME ON, how daft are you people?! When you're 30 are you still going to be listening to coldplay? I doubt it. They've ALREADY been forgotten god friggin dammit. Another can on the assembly line that's what they are. Radiohead are progressive and I agree with the first person who stated he/she hated coldplay. Pablo Honey is actually quite the listen, people just don't give it the time of day and forget its a DEBUT, the fuckers.. Listen to Blur's debut, people don't give them HALF the shit radiohead get for there's despite Pablo being better.
Travis to me are just as bland despite Nigel producing them. Borrriiinnngg.. If you want some good music go out and buy some Pixies as well.
I meant it when I said there are billions of better things you could spend your money on.. And if you can't figure out what to buy give ME your money, I have about a hundred jazz cds alone I could buy.

I agree with Thelonius Punk, Pablo Honey is NOT a bad album, in fact its lightyears ahead of 90% of the shit out there. Why do you people hate it so much? Because it isn't the same sound that Radiohead is known for? Just because it is DIFFERENT doesn't mean it is BAD.

but the thing is Dingle its not even indie.. YEEESSHH that crappy 'yellow' song was driving me nuts with its stupid air play.
Pavement is pretty indie and they rawk! Err... or USED to rawk I should say, kind of went downhill towards the end.
