Sweet One Posted September 18, 2005 Share Posted September 18, 2005 he's looking for bands that are like coldplay, not celebrities who like coldplay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RA-D Posted September 18, 2005 Share Posted September 18, 2005 Thirteen Senses are quite a good one Keane have no guitars but are still quite feasable I'm going to suggest some early Radiohead, although be aware that Coldplay are like Radiohead rather than the other way round (my disclaimer) that's all for now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
If.......... Posted September 18, 2005 Share Posted September 18, 2005 There's a band called Blue Merle that reminds me a lot of Coldplay. The singer's voice sounds a lot like Chris Martin's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonnie2789 Posted September 18, 2005 Share Posted September 18, 2005 athlete are a bit coldplay-esque i guess also alot of people who like coldplay also like travis and even muse. personally i don't think they're similar at all, but many people seem to think so, and also many like both cp and muse.

my_star_is_fading Posted September 18, 2005 Share Posted September 18, 2005 try some pink floyd. True, theyre not LIKE coldplay, but coldplay did kinda evolve from theyre kinda music. You can definatly here some floyd-esque stuff in coldplay, and visa versa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RA-D Posted September 18, 2005 Share Posted September 18, 2005 and even muse. personally i don't think they're similar at all, but many people seem to think so, and also many like both cp and muse. I think the two are both derivations of different aspects of Radiohead, hence why there are many common fans. (I'm not one of the "Everyone copies Radiohead" people BTW, I prefer both Coldplay & Muse) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antics Posted September 18, 2005 Share Posted September 18, 2005 Yeah it's weird. Both Coldplay and Muse are always being compared to Radiohead, yet those two bands don't even sound a like. I guess it's the different eras of Radiohead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverion Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 I dont get it myself. Early muse sound similer to early Radiohead. Big Deal. And Coldplay souund like a cross between Radiohead Ok computer era and Radiohead The Bends era. But bands evolve and anyone that says any of these 2 bands sound like Radiohead are stupid nutters. Because they have evolved and made their own type of sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is why their sound was so uniqe. Thats why DSOTM sold billions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ross_c21 Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 no way is parachutes sound anything like radiohead have ever done, maybe now they have a radiohead ring to them but back then coldplays sound was well coldplays and i dont think of anyonce that it sounds like Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

majorbabu Posted October 7, 2005 Share Posted October 7, 2005 The Autumns have a similar sound. I highly recommend their self-titled album. Try out a bunch of sample clips here: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B0002VEQDE/ref=m_art_li_1/104-0599658-8579135?v=glance&s=music Not quite sure why this band isn't more well-known. Give em a try anyway :) oh and Engineers, sound a bit like Coldplay in parts. I couldn't find any sample clips for these guys, but here's an amazon link anyway http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B0007YMVEW/qid=1128717315/sr=8-1/ref=pd_bbs_1/104-0599658-8579135?v=glance&s=music&n=507846 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexTHFC Posted October 10, 2005 Share Posted October 10, 2005 I've been told some of the tracks on my EP sound a bit Coldplay-like. http://www.cdbaby.com/gladwin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corum Posted October 10, 2005 Share Posted October 10, 2005 I personally hear no Pink Floyd in Coldplay at all. I don't think CP sounds anything like them. Could they have been an influence - maybe, but sound similar or anything like that - no. My two cents. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
