Coldplay: Love 'em or Hate 'em?

[AlecBGreen]

My friends slag on me for it but I think they're great. Unlike most mainstream bands, they actually have t.a.l.e.n.t. So...whats your take?

[Kerrytravelers]

1. Love love love 'em.

Listen to them all the time, especially while driving. It calms me in Los Angeles traffic.

2. Ive got Parachutes and Rush of Blood

what else would you recomend? Id like to listen to some new stuff b/c my old ones are about worn out....

[NaturalHigh]

3. I can listen to them on the radio...

and I have one of their songs on my other computer. They're not a band I would go to see in concert, though.

4. If they come on the radio I'll give them a listen. I wouldn't pay to see them

live, though...or buy one of their albums.

5. I don't hate them, per se, but they do bore the shit out of me.

6. I kinda like 'em, a little

I actually loved them before they became really huge. Now they're just being overplayed.

I have A Rush of Blood to the Head but I never listen to it anymore, so I'm thinking about selling it.

7. I have very strong opinions on music. Coldplay, however, gets a 'meh.'

I like a few of their songs. They're catchy and inoffensive.
However, they're also uninteresting and rather on the dull side.
Their best song is 'Don't Panic.'
I won't turn the radio off if I hear one of their songs come on.
My reaction won't be 'Oh, it's Coldplay!'
or 'Eugh, it's Coldplay!'
More like: 'Oh. Coldplay. Well, I guess it's alrizzzzz....'

8. Used to love them but somebody vile and disgusting is now associated

with their sound. I've thrown out the CD I owned and deleted all but one song, which I keep around because it reminds me how people lie.

Touchy subject!

[Skittles]

9. especially love the piano playing

yes INDEED

[Lindsey]

10. I love 'em but it they remind me so much of an ex that I thought was

"the one" that I can barely listen to them anymore. Every now and then I'll pull out "Rush of Blood" it's an incredible CD (imho) but I can't listen to "Parachutes" because of the memories.

[GoneOffShore]

11. Whiny emo gits

I'd rather listen to Abba.

12. I think I've heard one song by them

It was kind of pretty, though it reminded me of the 80's band "Aha" for some reason. I guess, 'meh' is my choice.

13. Hate them like Bush hates books.
