Do you ever feel like other musicians sound just like Coldplay lately ? - Page 3

Yes, I have definitley heard alot of Coldplay-inspired music recently. But I am actually flattered by it.

Well I hear a lot of bands claiming they sound like coldplay, but I have yet to hear anyone that I actually think does.

Really, bands are influenced by Coldplay just like how Coldplay was influenced by other bands. It's natural, nothing bad.

Man, I'm with you there!

The Killers have got punch ! to their music. Bands like Keane and the Fray, are competent .. but they lack the punch of Coldplay; you know, that quality that makes you not skip half the tracks on the album.

Keane has a punch and they are unique, Perfect Symmetry was the best song of 08 from Q and they won something with the album.

However, the Fray, the singer, similar. He can't do much with his voice like Chris can.

I didn't mind the first couple singles until they became overplayed and just annoying, and the second album shows how un-original they are, self-titling it and all

Well, I never bothered buy an album of the Fray. I once thought of buying "One Republic" but .. they haven't really got me yet.

What about safety suit. I gotta give it to them, "STAY" is more depressing than anything Coldplay ever did. Something about a girl tying her boyfriend to a chair and beating him .. just doesn't appeal to me. Its like, driving with STAY blasting from my speakers, is the equivalent of an extended kick in the nuts.

They did, and it's REALLY HORRIBLE

And back to the main subject... I agree that a lot of music now is being influeced by them... I find it rather annoying,

Its ok to say you're inspired by someone ... if that musician is of age and not still mainstream. But to make music like Coldplay, while they are still relavant and kicking ... is just annoying.

Its like if a girl started singing just like Beyonce now and says she's inspired by Beyonce.

Its like what Pink said, immitation is not flattery, its just annoying.
