How Coldplay actually sounds
-
Is Coldplay the American Tragically hip? Im Canadian and the tragically hip has to be the most mediocre, boring, forgettable band in Canada. I would say overrated but that’s the thing, tragically hip were gone and forgotten and not a single Canadian ever said “they’re my favourite band!”
Then the lead singer became terminally ill and ran a final tour and suddenly everyone i knew who had never once listened to their music in decades was all “BEST BAND EVER”
Except Coldplay isn’t dying, but I do find that I can’t ever find a person who likes Coldplay beyond having one or two of their songs as their Spotify filler that they often skipI think Coldplay is British.

Meh. There’s by far more mediocre bands with some fame than Coldplay. At least Coldplay isn’t one of the “hype” entertainers like Bieber that need constant press coverage to stay relevant or a band that will play anything and have no real sound of their own like OneRepublic.

"Fine doesn't mean fine. The scale goes: great, good, okay, not okay, I hate you, fine." ~ Max Black (2 Broke Girls)
You're quoting 2 Broke Girls to give cultural critiques to Coldplay?

Maybe this is why they thought nobody would ever find out.
Don't know what's worse, being caught cheating and becoming a national meme because of it, or having it happen during a Cildplay concert.

Idk why people shit on Coldplay, they sound fine
Until these two fuckers basically all I knew about Coldplay was they're probably the ones who did that song about apreggios called Clocks.

I don't get why this is so big, wouldn't anybody be that embarrassed to be caught at a cold play concert?

U2 was for your great grandparents lol.
Jk. It's impossible for people in 2025 to appreciate this, but when U2 first hit the scene, they were a fresh air alternative to the stale late '70s disco scene. And for kids like me with a burgeoning political awareness, they were heroes. Also, mullets. It's very difficult for me to accept how they turned into a bunch of tax-dodging cunts who produced a fucking Spiderman musical, of all things (probably as a tax dodge).
"This song is not a rebel song. This song is Sunday, bloody Sunday" or, better: fuck you and your mother. I will say what I want when I want.and call you fuckers out for all the bullshit you put us through. But, since these are the eighties i will do it somewhat politely.
Boy. October. War. Under a bloodred sky.
Somewhere along there they got lost and made the unfo. Still good but.. fuck Eno.
Then it all exploded with the Joshua tree. They became the biggest band on earth, almost imploded under their own weight during/after R&H. Reinvented themselves with Achtung Baby and Zooropa and became what we have nowadays.
But that glorious beginning, the rage, the pain. The angst of our entire generation in those three albums with bloodred sky as the magnificent encore. The Magnus opus.
It was nothing like them now. I can't even name their last albums.

That's certainly how I feel about Parachutes. Solid little album, even if it's not reinventing the wheel. I feel more mixed about A Rush of Blood to the Head. Some of their best tracks are on that album (The Scientist may be their best song), but a lot of it is forgettable, and Clocks just sucks, don't know how that became a big single. I thought X&Y was pretty meh, and then I stopped listening.
I'd generally agree, definitely consider XY completely forgettable. That said, I think Rush of Blood is a great album as an album. Parachutes is a better collection of songs but Rush feels more comprehensive to me. Even clocks, in the context of the album, works. The only other album I enjoy is viva la vida, because while it's not perfect, I like what they were attempting with that one. I'd like other bands to experiment with those kinds of concepts so even if I don't think they exactly hit the mark, I appreciate the attempt

Coldplay good. Fight me
I don't like Coldplay at all, and never have. But I also know music taste is entirely subjective, so it is a pretty pointless thing to fight about.

I'm absolutely sure people don't like Nickelback.

Only those that like music.

That song is infamous in Sweden. But not for any positive reasons.
The title when sung, sounds an awful lot like phonetic Swedish. "Sunday, bloody Sunday" sounds like "Smeå negrer i sanden", which translates to "small n*ggers in the sand".

Part of me continues to be jaded that Travis came out the same time and are the clearly superior band and did not make it big.

Sure and plenty of people also don’t like other bands. But for some reason people are very vocal about their distaste for Nickelback and Coldplay. And it’s always people who think they have some sort superior music taste.
