Coldplay is pretty much the coolest band on earth. I’ve now seen them in concert twice and listen to their music non stop. I think the lightbulb idea is really cool and if you don’t like coldplay fine, but don’t complain about their really cool ideas when you are just too lame to appreciate them for the genuises they really are.

He duels with the lightbulb in concert too. They closed with Fix You in Philly and he swung a lightbulb hanging over the stage. Its a little stange.

Coldplay started to suck in July 2003. That’s when the numbing lead piano line from “Clocks” got lodged in my skull. Two weeks later I overheard two dipshits on the elevated talking about buying ‘Rush of Blood to the Head’ “for the chicks,” and I knew “Coldplay” had become the British spelling of “Old Navy.”

the main point that you are missing here is that all the chris-only videos, though they no doubt would still be supremely boring, would be 1039842309842304 times better if they featured ONLY guy (aka the bassist for those not in the know)

Around the summer of 2000 when Napster was alive and kicking, I stumbled upon Shiver. I don't remember how I got to download it, but, I was glad I did. I looked up the band name and found articles and stories on Parachutes and found more songs to download. After listening to Trouble and Sparks, I decided to just order the thing through Amazon UK.

That summer I must've listened to that album a million times over. The simplicity of the songs were what got to me. Don't Panic was instant gratification and I still play that every time I pick up my guitar. Life Is For Living, we all know.

I remember paying 10 bucks to watch one of their shows from their first tour down in Providence. And, I remember watching them play up in Boston a few years later just before A Rush of Blood... was released. They actually re-worked their first album tracks to sound a bit different from the first tour.

The second album was great when it first came out. But, it just doesn't hold up when I listen back. Sure The Scientist is lovely, but, my god it can be boring as hell now. A Warning Sign is the only one that holds up for me.

X&Y just feels like something is missing. Fix You is just torture. The high falsetto is brutal and just way too long before the song gets good with the four part harmonys.

I don't know. I liked Coldplay. But, nowadays, they are just, well, U2.

It’s not a matter of what SOMEONE else likes or dislikes, IT’S WHAT YOU LIKE. Such a simple premiss but it seems like people have trouble following… You felt out of place in HS for being called out on what you wanted to wear and you THOUGHT you learned from it but now you are clearly proving you didn’t if you felt weird for wearing a shirt that OTHER people passed judgement on. WHO CARES WHAT THEY THINK.

I am not trying to sit in the shadows and only comment on bad things, I think you do a great job w/ your site. I get bummed when people only post negative coments on anything. They are usually the fucking slobs that won’t do anything w/ their life and are bitter and jaded.
