Do you think Coldplay is a rock band? Discuss.

I don't really like classifying music through genres. Especially bands, because bands (like Coldplay) can produce a wide array of different songs - usually of varying genres. Coldplay have a lot of what would be classifyed as 'rock' songs, as well as pop, soul, blues... heck, even some gospel music (Death Will Never Conquer, anyone? :P).

 

So, yeah. I couldn't really classify them as a 'one-genre' band.

they're certainly not a boyband.Even though they have Guy and Chris likes to dance

Who enjoy the sweet hygienic properties of deodorant?

 

Hmm... :uhoh:

As Chris has often said, Coldplay is a "limestone" band...they're soft rock but rock either way. But I do like the MANBAND thing xD

Yes and no.

But they never dance, all four of them, in unison! :lol: (thank god)

^that would be the most hilarious thing in the world. I wanna see Will dance.Don't know why but I think that would be the best thing in the world.

Just watch the Christmas message 2006 :D Will has some talent but Guy has the best moves (and surely some booze behind that talent XD) :laugh3:

No wai.

i voted yes but i agree with this

of course

Honestly I dunno, they got their own unique style and i like it.

I don`t think that they`re a typical rock band.

eh they are more alternative

Like Chris, I don't like the word "rock" to describe them.

 

More limestone or soft rock. And alternative.

 

But I guess those could fall under rock. I don't really know what to vote for because, they kind've are but kind've aren't. :uhoh.

iTunes classifies them as Alternative sooo....

But I like to describe them as "Britpop" It seems to fit.

They are a MANBAND:D

 

They are a BROBAND

As Chris has often said, Coldplay is a "limestone" band...they're soft rock but rock either way.

THISSSSSSSSSSSSSS

exactly what she said :thumbsup:

for heaven's sake people don't get tripped up on genre's. Just because you're a rock band doesn't mean they play typical rock n'roll. Radiohead and Sigur Ros count as 'rock bands' Most coldplay songs consist of guitar, drum, bass and vocals. Whether their style is more indie-rock or alternative-rock doesn't change the fact that they are clearly a rock band.

Coldplay is more of a everything. I would really classify them as rock. They are more of an indie rock or limestone rock.

More rock than pop.

They're more of a pop rock band.

Although some of their material is borderline pop, I still get a little irritated when I hear them referred to as a pop band. Honestly, rock is such a broad genre that it sometimes gets cloudy, but I really do think they fit into that large, fuzzy classification.
