Hermes_tri Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 Please help me!! Love Coldplay with all my heart, but is there any other band I can love even close? :) I mean, 95 percent of all the music I listen is Coldplay.:laugh3:.and I decided to give a go to some other rock band. I occasionaly listen to hard rock, Placebo, Offspring, rock-pop like Robbie Williams, Timberlake (yeah!) and Rob Thomas... But any other rock band?:cool: Tried U2, not really... I think lyrics are not my type.. What album should I give a go? they have so many..:dozey: Oasis - big no! couple of good songs, rest is too noisy, not touching..:\ Green Day - good, like it actually, but its more like punk - rock..:confused: Maybe Keane? tried couple of songs now, pretty good!! Thinking of buying an album...:P What would you advice, what do you listen to? :):D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yellowtalk Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 Right these are some of the band I listen to, not necessarily similar to Coldplay: Radiohead - In Rainbow and OK Computer <<< inspired Coldplay The Rifles - No Love Lost (only had one release so far <<< Brit Rock @ it's best The Kooks - Konk <<< Decent Muse - Absolution, Black Holes & Revelation <<<< Very good! MGMT - Orcular Spectacular <<<< A love em or hate em band Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mc_squared Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 It's got to be Travis and Keane. Their the closest, plus the three bands have good relationships with one another. We even met Chris at a Travis concert in October. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a-chan Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 Sigur Ros << surreal, beautiful, haunting, genius Snow patrol << kinda like Keane, good Lifehouse << decent Queen <<classic Dave matthews band <<nice Fiction plane <<agreable (it's Sting's son band ^^) Kinda sound like Police As for U2, try the best of called 'U218 Singles' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mc_squared Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 No Radiohead - dont like the sound much :(.. Neither do I.;) Im really surprised that noone here listens to u2 ;) I've always quite liked U2, and elements of VLV sound U2-ish owing to the Eno involvement. However, generally speaking, I think their sound is very different and has a harder edge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mc_squared Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 Snow patrol << kinda like Keane, good I quite like Snow Patrol too. Seen them live a few times. Don't think their songs have as much "depth" as those of Coldplay, Travis and Keane, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hermes_tri Posted December 6, 2008 Author Share Posted December 6, 2008 Tried more Radiohead - no deal :)...... Hm, Snow Patrol is good, yeah, but their last album - still deciding, whether to get it or not.. Lifehouse, know only one song... may be worth giving a try. Sigur Ros - nice!!!

Hermes_tri Posted December 6, 2008 Author Share Posted December 6, 2008 maybe Snow PAtrol lacks deep sense, but lyrics are good : "And it's beginning to get to me That I know more of the stars and sea Than I do of what's in your head Barely touching in our cold bed It's so thrilling but also wrong Don't have to prove that you are so strong 'Cause I can carry you on my back After our enemies attack I tried to tell you before I left But I was screaming under my breath You are the only thing that makes sense Just ignore all this present tense..." beautiful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayzo Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 Check out a band called 'A Silent Film' they are like The Editors, but I think a bit more edgier, and better.

coldplay_are_forever Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 I really can't think of someone like COLDPLAY...They are TOP!! you can have othe good bands, but not like coldplay, never. In any case you can try Franz Ferdinand, Blur, Muse, Oasis, The Libertines... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darlene_Ihnfsa Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 don't that thread should be on WoM sub-forum :thinking: the ones i would advice you have been said already (Snow Patrol, Travis, The Kooks...), but i think you do nothing bad listening to some older bands may be... why not bands that Coldplay have said they like/admire :idea2: for instance: Echo and The Bunnymen or The Verve, just an idea. I think if you say what you'd like to listen may be we can advice you better... for instance i like some bands just for their kind of classical style (mainly for piano songs/parts) like The Fray, The Feeling, Counting Crows :uhoh: For more rock bands i prefer: Placebo, The Raconteurs, Jet... Others: Mattafix, Mike Oldfield, Seth Lakeman May be check the Mixtape Exchange thread will help you to get to new bands. :) :o I didn't knew that there are Fiction Plane fans here :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a-chan Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 :o I didn't knew that there are Fiction Plane fans here :o I can't say I'm a 'fan' but I like them ^___^ Good to hear from time to time ^^ (and I like very much daddy's music too...) And another add to the list, some are not 'bands' but still very good: Jeff Buckley, my music god, the one and only http://www.deezer.com/track/558616 Tori Amos, brilliant, amazing performer and pianist http://www.deezer.com/track/860392 AaRon (french group but sing in english), beautiful... http://www.deezer.com/track/620544 The servant http://www.deezer.com/track/729894 Razorlight http://www.deezer.com/track/73495 Stereophonics http://www.deezer.com/track/1415 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
