uhhh I think Arcade Fire and Coldplay are pretty different bands with pretty different influences. although I would say, Coldplay does count Arcade Fire among their influences (look no further than Markus being brought in) and that should speak to something. not that Coldplay aren't a great band, but they're a more mainstream band so they bring in less mainstream sounds. less mainstream doesn't really bring in mainstream sounds...

 

that said, i love both bands for different reasons and my love for Coldplay so exceeds are all other bands that in my mind comparisons are pointless.

Since when did you start listening to Chris Martin?

um...i'm not sure if this is a serious question and what it's based on... :rolleyes:

 

I would respond if I knew at all what to respond to...:smug:

Not serious.

 

BECAUSE HE'S GOD THATS WHY.

Urm... I hope this doesn't come across as snarky, since I do agree with a lot of what you said, but...

 

I think you kind of missed the point.

 

*scratches nose*

Really Briggins - some of us don't care for these sort of threads on the Coldplay board. Keep it to WoM please.

 

Well some people obviously don't mind.

 

Next time I'll make a thread about how coldplay tie their shoes since that is more relevant and appropriate I guess?

when I met him

 

wait what? :stunned:

THATS ABSURD!

 

 

 

the men of coldplay dont ware sneakers..... they play in Crocs... everyone knows this

 

Eww Crocs.

arcade fire is not even on the same level as coldplay

i hate crocs

I like you Daniel :nice: Crocs are so ugly looking, eew.

i tend to avoid them at all cost

I keep meaning to check Arcade Fire out... what's their best song?

 

Neon Bible (the song) imo.

Rebellion (Lies) has been my favourite song of theirs since I saw it on TV in like 2005 or 2006, I think a lot of people like that one. :wacko:

^That and Wake Up got me hooked :nice:

All the Neigborhood tracks got me hooked.

Wow, thanks for the suggestions :D

 

I downloaded their first two albums (just to try them out - if I don't like them I'll delete them; if I do I'll buy them :P) First album started off alright, but from Neighbourhood 4 onwards it was fantastic :) Neon Bible was great too, especially the title track, so it looks like I'll be buying them :)

^They're both great albums. That is cool you like them on first listen. It took me a few listens to really get into them.

I think I was spoiled by the singles since when I got Funeral at first I was like "WHAT IS THIS CRAP IT'S SO BORING".

I didn't like it the first time I heard it but I decided to listen to that album like one year after that and I loved it :heart:

I think the fact we have a new Arcade Fire fan after this thread that its goal is done.

 

Next up, the Radiohead are better than Coldplay thread. I kid, that would be pointless and redundant.

I wouldn't be surprised if there's more than 5 threads with that name in the board

This.

 

Same for me. They're all so amazing. :awesome:

 

I just saw Arcade Fire on Sunday :)

Disagree although Arcade fire are Awesomeness

 

Same. Ionno, I'm just not as much into Arcade Fire as of now. :shrug:

 

Chris will be Chris.

 

Pretty much, yeah.

 

Still she's better than Lady Gaga :laugh3:

 

YES.

 

This thread's supposed to be about comparing Arcade Fire to Coldplay and suddenly Beyonce comes in?

 

COME ON.

 

BAHAHAHA. :laugh4:

 

Chrissy is such a fanboy :blush: when I met him he had a Neon Bible badge on his jacket

 

Awww. :blush:

 

Eww Crocs.

 

+10

 

It took me a few listens to really get into them.

 

Same. I find Win's voice to be an acquired taste.
