November 29, 200916 yr 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.
November 29, 200916 yr I would straight away say yes, but then you have to take into consideration so many other great bands. Surely bands like Muse, the killers and maybe artic monkeys could be counted in for that title. But I think Coldplay are the band of this decade. :D
November 29, 200916 yr Black Eyed Peas are the band of the decade DUH Oh come on! They had one half decent song!
November 30, 200916 yr :thumbsup: This is so true,not about the others .. But 2000 = COLDPLAYS DECADE :D Biggest band in the world,and biggest of the decade! Coldplay rules the world:rolleyes:
November 30, 200916 yr Ok well if you look at who dominated the charts while still carrying the torch of rock and roll proudly, Coldplay, Foo Fighters, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Green Day, Muse, IDK who to choose as the greatest while Green Day is hands down my least favorite of those
November 30, 200916 yr Oh come on! They had one half decent song! Uh no, they're the best band flat out.
November 30, 200916 yr 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.
November 30, 200916 yr 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.

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.
November 30, 200916 yr I know, and thought I implied Coldplay clearly dominate this decade. I just meant that Coldplay & The Killers are the only bands that I consider to have a popular status and recognition in this decade similar to that of Oasis, Nirvana, Radiohead etc. in the 90s.
November 30, 200916 yr 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.
November 30, 200916 yr 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
November 30, 200916 yr 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. THAT
November 30, 200916 yr 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. 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.)
