Coldplay is on 60 Minutes. That just proves

[no name no slogan]

there is no God. :(

[MrScorpio]

1. I'm watching the end of the Pro Bowl

There are other alternatives

[no name no slogan]

4. Yeah, I'm watching Hole In The Wall on Fox

I'm that desperate. :cry:

[Danger Mouse]

2. 60 Minutes has jumped the shark.

[no name no slogan]

5. I was watching it for the plane landing in the Hudson thingy

But then they follow it up with a puff piece on Coldplay.

[Danger Mouse]

12. Coldplay owe their success to Radiohead.

Chris Martin should spend his night kissing a picture of Thom Yorke, saying 'Thank you for my millions, Thom, thank you thank you thank you.'

[no name no slogan]

15. Yeah, they really are a dumbed-down version of Radiohead

It makes sense why I can't stand Coldplay, because I can take or leave Radiohead for the most part.

Still, I have a lot more respect for Radiohead than I do for Coldplay. At least Radiohead writes their own music.

17. Listen to Coldplay's "Twisted Logic"

Melody: Radiohead's "A Wolf at the Door"
Chorus: Radiohead's "Electioneering"
Verses: The concept of OK Computer

To add insult to injury, Coldplay's "X&Y" (the song) is the same damn thing as Radiohead's "Sail to the Moon".

[Danger Mouse]

22. They stole 'A Wolf at the Door'?

rage!!! :grr:

[AlCzervik]

3. My poor Nana, i hope her boyfriend Mike Wallace isn't interviewing them.

[no name no slogan]

8. I think it's Steve Croft, but I didn't keep it on long enough to find out

I can only take so much Coldplay in one lifetime. :hurts:

[EastTennesseeDem]

6. At least Viva La Vida was better than X&Y

which is akin to saying that Osama bin Laden is better than Josef Stalin.


Just to clear the air: I really though A Rush of Blood to the Head was a pretty damn good album. I know I know...

[no name no slogan]

10. Thank you

It's like death by hanging or death by electrocution. Either way, you're still dead.

[AngryAmish]

7. It proves that boring rock sells.

Coldplay = The Eagles

[no name no slogan]

11. ....

:spray:

That's about it! I wonder what the equivalent of Gram Parsons would be to Coldplay. Maybe Kurt Cobain?

[AlCzervik]

14. The Eagles

the local "oldies" Station plays them all the time, needless to say i deprogrammed it from my car stereo.

[Twillig]

9. I can live in that world as long as it has Saint Joe

Satriani (ripped off by Cold-plagarism) giving an autograph in Colombia:

13. That's a classic right there

I wonder how much Joe will get in settlement from Coldplay?

[Swede]

16. I like them.

To each their own.

[no name no slogan]

18. You're alright by me Swede

You're allowed to like Coldplay, with no deductions in Cool-osity. :thumbsup:

[Swede]

20. Right back at you no name no slogan.

:toast:

[EastTennesseeDem]

19. I don't hate them

It's just that I've kind of gotten the feeling from listening to these last two albums that they're just not trying that hard. They know they'll make zillions and it sounds like they're sacrificing quality for it.

I still listen to Parachutes and A Rush of Blood to the Head from time to time.

[edbermac]

21. Coldplay?? They suck worse than Oasis.

[no name no slogan]

23. Score one for Coldplay

:thumbsup:
