rudy_o Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 Do you think Coldplay is a rock band? Discuss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I Bloom Blaum Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lovers.in.nj Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talor Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 Honestly I dunno, they got their own unique style and i like it. I don`t think that they`re a typical rock band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mksh24 Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 eh they are more alternative Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldplay_is_louve. Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackchickintheback Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 iTunes classifies them as Alternative sooo.... But I like to describe them as "Britpop" It seems to fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tnspieler1012 Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flickahidalgo Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 Coldplay is more of a everything. I would really classify them as rock. They are more of an indie rock or limestone rock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strawberryfields Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 More rock than pop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shipoffools Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 They're more of a pop rock band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corkus Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
