X&Y????, I don't like it when people put words in my mouth the way you did. I never said anything agaisnt your precious Oasis. I said how things are where I live, and I don't need someone jumping on me trying to make it bigger than it really is. Please feel free to twist someone else's words around, but not mine.

Fine, I can see this is going nowhere and I`ve said all I`m going to on the subject, sorry to everyone for hijacking the thread.

Oasis are the best band out of this bunch.Oasis are the most important band of the past 12 years. Musically, they changed everything.. coldplay wouldn't be coldplay w/o them and radiohead, well would still be the same.. but Oasis kicked the door off. All three quality bands but Oasis has THATcertain factor which puts them over the top.

I agree that Oasis had A LOT of influence and I like their stuff quite a bit, and Radiohead is one of the most innovative bands of all time, but I still like Coldplay the best.

 

I don't know if Coldplay IS the best of the three, but to me, they are. Unfortunately, Oasis does not get the attention they deserve because they were so overblown in the 90s. Not many people in the U.S. think they are worthy of accolades. I don't agree with that, though.

 

Radiohead is an amazing band, but I think they often get good reviews just because they are "Radiohead". I am not crazy about some of their albums, but somehow they still manage to blow the critics' minds. OK Computer still remains their best album in my opinion. :D

Radiohead.

 

simply because they always reinvent themselves.. and no 2 albums sound alike. I have said this so many times before.. they constantly evolve as musicians and as a band.... something Coldplay is capable of.. but failed with this last attempt. I think Coldplay has a lot of potentional.. they are clearly a band that strives off of fans and each performance. Touring does them well.. and hopefully, #4 will be greater than AROBTTH in terms of 'evolving'...

 

I won't even touch Oasis... lol I think they are overrated.

I have a problem.I have listened to Radiohead and have not found this wonderful side about which all speak.Everybody said that Radiohead is the best.

And I believe all of you.

Maybe I listen to Radiohead too late.

 

Oasis,I think is the same.I have heard a lot of them,but again I listen Oasis too late.

 

In my opinion Coldplay is now the best.Even if people say that this last cd was not as good as expected.

haha what a joke of a thread, coldplay are radiohead mark 2.

 

oasis blow them all out of the water, and its fact. i mean, a half full reebok stadium or massive stadiums world wide filled to the top full of classics.

 

oasis 1 - 0 shite

I`ll agree with you on that mate :lol: Oasis do blow em out of the water, but well, I guess on a Coldplay board we were always gonna get a biased reaction.

and its fact.

Fact: n. A concept whose truth can be proved;

Opinion: n. A personal belief or judgment that is not founded on proof or certainty;

 

 

...definitely the latter. :wink:

it is fact. Can be very well proven.

I'm having a hard time understanding why people think Oasis are a great band. They haven't been relevant for almost 10 years.

 

Another thing, I'm all for recycling, but if you are in a band what's the point in releasing the same rehashed material again and again. The ego's of the Gallaghers are considerably greater than their talent IMO.

Exactly. Oasis is nowhere near as good as everyone says they are. And IN MY OPINION (with emphasis on the "in my opinion") anyone who actually liked Don't Believe The Truth is in serious denial.

What the hell Oasis? Practically no one even remembers them here anymore' date=' despite their new album.[/quote']

 

lol they sold out madison square garden in a half hour this summer; something coldplay will never do.

Lord Almighty. Do you think that because you say "Oasis did this.. Oasis did that" it's going to somehow change the perspective and reasoning that I see with my own two eyes? I don't care what Oasis sold or how fast, You. Still. Hear. Not a damn thing about them here. Period. They have a fanbase, no one is saying that they can't sell well. They barely get any radio/video play and they're just irrelevant compared to bands like Radiohead and U2, who've also been around for years and years yet have managed to reinvent themselves in such a way that they can't be forgotten. Coldplay is still a fairly young band, but right now they're on top. Oasis is not. Quit lying to yourselves.

 

And honey, selling out the Garden in half hour nothing that U2 and Radiohead haven't done or can't do. You can't deny that it's quite unjust to say Coldplay will "never" sell it out in half hour. Put your ridiculous fanboy bias aside for one freakin' second, and at least write truthfully. Geezus.

sorry- didnt know debating your argument with facts would upset you that much.

Oasis irrelevant for almost 10 years? hardly. I think thats just you, and many others like you, who like to come up with excuses b/c they have some issue with the Gallaghers. Noel Gallagher is a genuis, and you are a twat(but the IMO is appreciated).

In Fact.

Oh Christ On A Bike, were back to this again are we? Your the one lying to yourself you don`t seem to realise that, while your telling us to put our fanboyism aside, you are the one most guilty of it, If ticket sales have nothing to do with it, expain to me how Coldplay are on top? Have they played an equivilent of Knebworth so far in their career? Have they even played the equivilent of Man City stadium this year? Have they had a single this year, that even people who hate them, sit up and listen to whenever it comes on like "The Importance Of Being Idle"? (And don`t say Fix You is that kind of song, because the people I know and work with can`t stand listening to it when it`s played).

Even Coldplay`s new album has been met with critiscm by the people who buy music.

At work, I`m the oldest person in the stockroom (I`m 27) the others are around 17,18 or in their early 20`s, and we have a CD player, we have never played a Coldplay album yet, but the Oasis albums are getting played quite regular, what does that tell you?

 

Also, the fact that when people who aren`t in their little fan base speak of Coldplay, they always say, "They`ll never write another Yellow" when people talk about Oasis who aren`t in the fan base, they say "They`ll never write another album as good as their first two" say the difference between one song and 2 albums?

 

So please, explain to me how you think Coldplay are on top, seeing how anything we give to you as to why Oasis are best is just met with the great objective argument line "well....I don`t care about that".

Coldplay are on top right now because the world says they are. 'Nuff said. U2, Coldplay and Green Day were the top three selling bands in 2005..so...am I crazy to assume they're on top right now? Crazy along with the rest of the world?

 

If you tell me it's not about the sales, then what is it about exactly? Because it seems like sales and sold-out concert times is all your Oasis comrades up thread can come up with. Coldplay/Radiohead/U2 touch people's hearts, they're music is inspiring to zillions and all three are acknowledged for what they are. Oasis did that in the past and sadly lost it. (Maybe Coldplay will too, who knows?) But it's really about damn time you came to terms with that.

Now your a hypocrite, it was YOU that said you didn`t care about sales and concerts etc, you want to make your mind up, you say it doesn`t matter then you come back with the same thing to try and prove your point, you can`t have it both ways, either they matter or they don`t.

 

No, Oasis are in front of Greenday this year in terms of album sales in the UK, and are also in front of U2. Ahhh, but your still on about the US again eh? What are the world sales, post them, cos I`d like to know them if you have them.

Also, do you want to look at the overall sales for each band? Look at Oasis`s third album for comparison, sold over 7 million in total, and over 650k in the UK within 3 days, so Coldplay don`t come close to that, and don`t come close to record sales, I mean WTSMG is the second biggest selling album in the world, and is steadily closing on the top spot, I mean, it sold over 900k in the UK alone this year.

Coldplay have got a long way to go before they even come close in terms of sales.

 

Coldplay are only up there this year cos of the hype of this album, something that will change with the release of their next one, I think the fact that they haven`t had a number one single yet in the world has alot to say as well.

 

Oh, and you still ahven`t told me why you think Coldplay are the biggest, I`m sorry but "cos the world says" doesn`t cut it, not a reason, I could say that, "cos my dog says" means naff all.

 

Oasis have lost nothing, but seeing as your arguments are all over place, I`m having a hard time trying to put these facts across to you.

 

As of now, Coldplay are the biggest selling artist of albums, but not of singles or tours (which they have trouble selling one gig out, let alone full tours) of which are all included, even the reviews (other than Q and NME) of their new album have been midling, but then again, you probably don`t care about that either when it goes against what you`ve decided in your mind.

I disagree. Coldplay have no problem selling tickets quickly. They've even had to add tour dates to their schedule because their shows sell so fast. Oasis as a live act is probably better that Coldplay, but that doesn't mean tat they both don't create the same amount of excitement.

It`s no secret Coldplay have had trouble filling many of the venues on this tour, sure, a few, such as the Bolton gig used to film the video to Fix You were sold out, but when compared to Oasis`s tour this year, Coldplay cannot compare.

 

that`s not to say they couldn`t excite the crowd, I don`t mean that at all, I`m sure that, if the end of the Fix You vid is anything to go by, they give a good performance, but when people don`t give Oasis their dues and try to dismiss them as has beens, I feel the need to explain a few things.

If you feel the need to preach the successes of Oasis upon others, feel free to do so. But for a lot of us who think Oasis can't make decent music anymore, nothing you say can change our mind.

When did I say sales were not important? Coldplay as a young band still have a lot to prove and I wouldn't say they're the best because it's still too early. If you notice, I haven't said they are.

 

I'm positive it's not Oasis, I can tell you that much. Recycling material. Changing band members. Lack of a buzz in the states.. they may be huge in the UK still but it seems like outside their fanbase, they've lost it here. I would go with Radiohead or U2, since they have accomplished everything Oasis has AND have managed to not have Americans forget them.. which is hard for alot of international bands. Oasis may sell because of the strong hold they had in the 90's, but you know.. they haven't even won a Grammy. Something Coldplay did on their first album. It speaks volumes how much more appreciated Coldplay seems to be here, compared to Oasis.

 

I wouldn't give the "best" position to Coldplay because they're so young and the same thing that has happened to Oasis can to them as well. But they very well could be the best. They progress with every album, sales-wise, hype wise.. they've improved their skills with instruments, they perform better. It's all there.

 

I don't see your "they're struggling to sell tickets" point. If anything, they keep adding more tour dates and more radio shows and programs and it seems like the demand is more. They certainly wouldn't be adding if it were going badly for them.

 

As for your sales question, X&Y debuted here at #1, U2's HTDAAB debuted at #1 (sold more than Coldplay) and Don't Believe the Truth debuted at #12.

It's not what I've decided in my mind, it's what I see. There were bad reviews, yet X&Y is still selling magnificently. By the way, If you're the biggest selling artist, most people would say you're on top right now. I don't understand what's so hard to grasp about that. Tour and Singles sales aren't very accounted for, Coldplay isn't a "singles" band and they've said that themselves many times. They're an albums band. That means a lot more (to me) than singles any day of the week.

 

As for your sales question, X&Y debuted here at #1, U2's HTDAAB debuted at #1 (sold more than Coldplay) and Don't Believe the Truth debuted at #12.

 

...this has nothing to do with which band is better.

 

The American media/music industry is shite. If you don't hit up TRL, get played on MTV, get called up by Blender Magazine or you're not "in" with the mums, then you won't get a #1 record. I know plenty of americans who still love Oasis. Regardless of fuckin "buzz". In the words of Noel Gallagher, they don't suck dick to get ahead.

 

There are other countries in this world that matter besides your own little fun house of America.

 

Oasis still mean something to me after all these years. They do to millions more as well. They've lost nothing in terms of quality. OASIS STILL MAKE QUALITY FUCKIN RECORDS. Thats for all you t.wats who had your mind made up even before you listened to any of their new material.( and if you havnt, your argument is irrelevant)
