heresjohnny Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 1. close, coldplay or john mayer but i think it goes to Coldplay 2.John Mayer, Sigur Ros, Radiohead, Porcupine Tree, Red Hot Chili Peppers. 3. they have tried but no i dont think they have. which is good i only want one Coldplay. 4. no, they have not passed u2 yet. with a good 5th album they will/ if im not mistaken The Joshua Tree was U2's 5th album. so Coldplays Joshua Tree is next. then they will be the biggest band in the world. but def. passed a-ha.

Tnspieler1012 Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 Is coldplay the best rock band of this decade? Arguably, it's tough entering band's like radiohead into the equation since their most famous work was done in the late 90s. I've had arguments with my bro about the nineties and he always emphasizes influence and impact on the music world. In terms of the 00's Coldplay had certainly been one of/if not the...biggest band/s around. They have also been one the best quality bands to enjoy that kind of popularity and success. So while they would easly have been drowned out nirvana/radiohead/oasis in the 90s, in terms of this decade it's certainly possible. Musically speaking, the question is almost relative, but when i comes to a vh1 countdown in the next decade...Chris and the boy's certainly have a chance. What Other Bands have been good this decade? Oh jeez...radiohead, and u2 continue to be amazing with age. Personally speaking I'm partial to the strokes, the killers and sigur ros. Has coldplay changed music in this decade? While still very young, they started at the very beginning of the decade, and after churning up four award winning and immensely successful albums, I think they've aged to the point that they're showing up the influence list of most upcoming bands nowadays. Have they surpassed the bands that influenced them such as u2 and radiohead and a-ha? No, they have a lifetime of success to catch up with and we'll have to wait until the next decade for critics to concede that coldplay are a prominent and impacting force in music history. I still have doubts that Coldplay will ever reach u2 status by the end of their career, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ricardo Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 Is coldplay the best rock band of this decade? No, they have a lifetime of success to catch up with and we'll have to wait until the next decade for critics to concede that coldplay are a prominent and impacting force in music history. yes this is a very good point and answers everything; however I have one question: how were bands like radiohead, oasis, U2 ,etc considered at their time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knotty Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 1: No. They're the best pop band this decade. They're not rock; thinking so shows you have a very narrow understanding of music. If you include bands that aren't rock bands, Death Cab for Cutie still beat them. And if you don't, Mayday Parade or Jimmy Eat World win. 2: See above. Also see: Switchfoot, Bloc Party, Dashboard Confessional, Interpol, Snow Patrol. 3: Definitely. See the fact that they were nominated for a mercury award for Parachutes, and that now everybody thinks the album is safe. The point is that it wasn't close to safe or easy at the time, it just became such a popular style of music that looking back on it it seems that way. 4: They've always been better than U2, they'll always be struggling with Radiohead (because the very fact that they're influenced by them and that Radiohead are such a trailblazing band means they'll always be half copying where they see Yorke's gang as an influence) and A-ha are shit.

Pseudonym Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 Is coldplay the best rock band of this decade? Yes, they are the best rock band EVER in my opinion What Other Bands have been good this decade? Snow Patrol, Keane, Radiohead, Dave Matthews Band, Lifehouse, OAR Has coldplay changed music in ths decade? Of course, see Snow Patrol, Keane, Death Cab for Cutie, etc. Have they surpassed the bands that influenced them such as u2 and radiohead and a-ha? They will never pass U2, cuz no one will. They are miles ahead of a-ha, yet they cannot be compared to Radiohead as the bands have each gone off in completely different directions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bellynelly Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 Is coldplay the best rock band of this decade? In my opinion, yes, but they are probably not. What Other Bands have been good this decade? The Killers, REM, Stereophonics Has coldplay changed music in ths decade? No I don't think they have changed music purely on their own, lots of other bands and artists have too. Have they surpassed the bands that influenced them such as u2 and radiohead and a-ha? No, Come on, U2? If coldplay are around as long or longer than U2 then maybe.

They are miles ahead of a-ha, yet they cannot be compared to Radiohead as the bands have each gone off in completely different directions. You're trying to claim Coldplay influenced Death Cab? Death Cab formed in 1997 and if you check out Gibbard's older stuff you'll see that the skeleton of their sound was already there. They're one of the most untouched (and untouchable) bands in the world. You have a point with Snow Patrol's 'Eyes Open' but 'Final Straw' was incredibly unique. And yes, Keane are just a copy. You also say they will never pass U2, but are 'the best rock band ever'. Are U2 not a rock band? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hans! Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 Is coldplay the best rock band of this decade? Yes definately What Other Bands have been good this decade? Arctic Monkeys, Keane, Muse, Radiohead Has coldplay changed music in ths decade? Not really as there aren't that many mainstream bands that are influenced by them Have they surpassed the bands that influenced them such as u2 and radiohead and a-ha? U2 - No, perhaps in 10-15 years time. Radiohead - Commerically but not musically. A-ha - not sure as im not that familiar with them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
footyfan10 Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 Is coldplay the best rock band of this decade? I say this obviously biased, but I don't see how anyone could debate this. No band has reached more people and countries and been as succesful in this decade than Coldplay. Certainly critics wouldn't vote them the best, but I don't think you can deny what they've done. What Other Bands have been good this decade? There's tons of bands that have been great. U2, Radiohead, Keane, Snow Patrol and many others. Has coldplay changed music in ths decade? There's no doubt that so many bands have either tried the Coldplay sound or are at least in someway influenced by it. Even if they aren't, more people are apt to listen to some similar bands due to Coldplay's influence on them. Seriously, would bands like The Fray have so many top 100 singles without Coldplay...I think not. Have they surpassed the bands that influenced them such as u2 and radiohead and a-ha? I'm not sure this is really a great question. The word choice of "surpass" doesn't seem that logical. I think with great bands like the one's you named the best thing is to be mentioned in there company, and for people to not be like, "wait what?????". And I think Coldplay has accomplished that with flying colors. They're dominating an era of music. When people look back Coldplay will define the new millenium sound.
