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

Green Day Rocks!

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

what album would you recommend to start with?

i'll update the post!

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.

^^^ what he said!

Oh, thank you so so much guys :)... Ok, my list to try out so far is :

Travis, Keane, Rifles, Kooks, Muse.

Maybe give one more chance to Green Day

 

No Radiohead - dont like the sound much :(..

 

Im really surprised that noone here listens to u2 ;)

Just heard Radiohead - "Creep" ...so amazing.........

^^^ what he said!

 

:D

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'

 

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.

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.

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!!!

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

Check out a band called 'A Silent Film' they are like The Editors, but I think a bit more edgier, and better.

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...

oh thanks, Jizo! good stuff...

 

so far love Muse most, and KEane.... hm..still on a quest:)

 

good point, coldplay_are_forever:)

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

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...)
