I love the fact that the boys have such an interesting and varied taste in music. I mean they like artists that other band may not necessarily like (Santogold, Ting Tings, MIA, Jay-Z). Makes me sad when people say that they have bad taste in music :cry: I mean I know hiphop isn't for everyone...but that doesn't make it bad music, does it?

 

P.S. I love pretty much all types of music.

 

Except folk music. Possibly :thinking:

 

Anyone have any thoughts on this?

I love it too... I've learned my lesson a couple of months ago so now I'm open for discovering some great musicians I didn't like before. And thanks to Coldplay I started listening to Oasis and Radiohead... :)

Yeah...it's great they have so many influences too...without those influences we may not have had some of the greatest songs ever created!

I love that fact with Coldplay, just look at the Wembley gigs...Jay Z and Girls Aloud as support artist...that is two completey different ends of the market and both are good.

Girls Aloud make actually good pop music..

 

And everybody who discovered how brilliant artist/musicans a-ha are are fine by me..:)

I tried getting into Radiohead before I got into Coldplay. Couldn't understand their style for the life of me.

But once I was fully into Coldplay, I picked up on Radiohead pretty easily.

At the Brixton Academy gig last year, Chris made a reference to the song 2+2=5 by Radiohead...and I've been hooked on them ever since

chris likes the foo fighters, too:D i love 'em too:

 

"Why doesn't Dave Grohl run for President? I think he'd be good, he seems a very organised man. He has about 12 fingers in about 50 pies, and they're all great pies, and great fingers. What I'm saying is that we really respect that band, and I fucking love him!"

 

i dont understand it, but yea. 'tis nice:P
