they sound like a parody of radiohead and radiohead are already a parody of u2

because they're popular

Parachutes was a good album.
Everything else is shit.

They're not that bad

They really really wish they were U2. I think that's why people dislike them

I wish I had Bono's money too though

Generic.

They had a lot of potential to make tasteful popular music, but chose to dig deeper and deeper into the top-20 garbage and got Rihanna and Avicci to be on their songs instead of working with Eno.

viva la vida is easily one of the top 10 albums of the 2000s

>>63615879
fuck off

Okay, I'll bite: explain why that record is so great

They have a repertoire of about 4 song templates that they've been reusing since the beginning of their career. They're inoffensive, but repetitive and boring.

Coldplay's first 3 albums are just Fake Plastic Trees + No Surprises + Let Down + High & Dry put in a big early 2000s stew

Parachutes and AROBTTH are GOAT
X&Y is pretty good
Viva la Vida and MX are nothing memorable but good albums nonetheless
Ghost Stories is dull and boring
AHFOD is utter shit

>>63615879
rush of blood is good too
x and y isnt terrible but its pretty boring
mylo xyloto was shit and the next ones are even worse

Coldplay sucks now because they sold their souls to get more money rather than develop a sound that was very very solid up until MX.


A Rush Of Blood To The Head, Parachutes, Viva La Vida and even X&Y (which is criminally underrated) are all great albums in the pop-rock and post-britpop areas and even contain some songs you would never expect for a band such as Coldplay to put out.

Coldplay also had some amazing b-sides that could have been better on the actual album.

The band has talent, Chris Martin is just a fucking idiot who needs to jump off the popular train and make some interesting music again.

coldplay never made any interesting music ever

>even contain some songs you would never expect for a band such as Coldplay to put out.
what? a fucking awful shoegaze song? god you are retarded

drop trip for the last time

Coldplay's first five albums, while not exactly the pinnacle of art, are all really enjoyable.

They stole from Joe Satriani

There's latrines in portugal, actually better at crafting music than coldplay.

Coldplay is music for men who cry when they masturbate

Bro the smashing pumpkins are bad ass
