my handle there is "khemikal".

 

honestly.. i can't stand comparing bands period.

the "my daddy can kick your daddy's ass" bs is

really embarassing.

 

and i don't want to be embarassed because i enjoy

lisetning to two great bands who are unfortuantely

being compared like two NBA teams.

i hate that website. and i like radiohead a lot.

AtEase >>> you

Similarities: They're English. Radiohead had a "Happier Fitter" and Coldplay came along with a "Bigger Stronger". I honestly believe that if Coldplay were an American band (or just not from the UK) and titled that song differently these comparisons wouldn't have started, much less taken off the way they have.

 

That ATease website... I don't know. I could never be as big a fan of Radiohead as I would like to be because of their fans, as horrible as that sounds. I would hate to be grouped with those people that bag on a band because "they've gone mainstream". I hate it when people write something off as soon as it becomes popular and well accepted. Who cares if a band is famous.. it's what they do with the fame, you know? I don't like the way a lot of big Radiohead fanatics seem to look down on anything that isn't written by Thom Yorke.. kinda pretentious and elitist. I can't stand that.. but each to their own, I suppose.

the only problem is that Coldplay fans start all the comparisons again and again...

Far not all members on Atease think that everything which isn't written Thom Yorke is shit. And not all of them hate mainstream. There're many people who have good music taste, I mean that many people appreciate the same bands I do and I've even discovered some new stuff owing to them.

Some of Radiohead fans there are pretty nice, I mean it. If you look at this board, Coldplaying, you also can see some dumbs but it doesn't mean we all are like that.

Just no need to generalize.

Somehow I'm having a feeling that Radohead fans are the most agressive and mean in people's eyes.

I honestly did not write the above to start a huge discussion. It's just my lone opinion over something that I've noticed in a lot of big RH fanatics. You place RH vs literally any other band and RH will always be the best. That link you provided only proves what I've thought all along.

and for you Coldplay wouldn't be the best versus another artist?

They're my biggest, most favorite band in the world and I love them to itty, bitty pieces.. but no, Coldplay are not the best by a long shot.

 

Edited: Not the best, yet :lol: :wink:

that is the point: favourite

 

no-one ever said those results were handled as best ;) favourite...

 

EDIT:

 

anyway, what i meant was that list contained hundreds of other artists including Coldplay, so your comment about "looking down" was ridiculous and pointless
