This Is Quite Clearly Coldplay's Decade

60s - The Beatles

70s - Led Zeppelin

80s - U2

90s - Oasis

2000s - Coldplay

 

I totally disagree about the 70s. As to worldwide success in the 70s - don't forget Swedish ABBA - still popular, and the British in particular would like to see ABBA reunite as group.

Biggest band of the decade ... I would have to say Coldplay. Some might disagree about technical skills ... but the fact is ....Coldplay rose very quickly, and everybody knows of them.

 

To go from having the reputation "only [] listen to coldplay" to having every little high school band in my state trying to play Viva La Vida .... I would say coldplay is pretty much on top.

 

 

MUSE, are great ... but hey they haven't yet got the market like how coldplay has.

They are definitely the greatest band to come out of this decade. That is, disqualifying bands like Radiohead who immerged and released albums in the 90s. Focusing on the noughties, its dominated by Coldplay & The Killers.

Moreso Coldplay. I know a lot of people who don't know of The Killers, but no one is ignorant about Coldplay. At the least they know the name.

I know, and thought I implied Coldplay clearly dominate this decade. I just meant that Coldplay & The Killers are the only bands indigenous to this decade that I consider to have a popular status and recognition similar to that of Oasis, Nirvana, Radiohead etc. in the 90s.

 

A lot of my friends haven't heard of Radiohead, and a lot more haven't heard of Oasis, so actually I'd say Nirvana gets the 90s also actually.

examples of that ^^

 

of coldplay popularity

 

Coldplay has the most listeners of ALL artists on Last fm.

Its the band with more Twitter followers and Facebook fans ( so over u2 for example)

Biggest selling albums of 2005,2008... massive digital sales records,etc..

 

ITS SO CLEAR that Coldplay Ruled this decade since theyre on the music business

You're probably right, but can't really judge the 90s based on their reception in the late noughties (I hate that word). I was 9 when the nineties ended, but my brother was 19 (and incidentally a diehard nirvana fan). So he has more insight as to the way bands were popularly received than me. But as a member of the noughties generation, looking back 10-20 years from now, (and unbiased by my membership on this forum :rolleyes: ) I will see this as the decade of coldplay (and arcade fire, the killers, sigur ros etc. etc...but mostly coldplay.)
