chris has already admitted to how far ahead radiohead is of coldplay. with that said please shoot this thread to the farthest galaxy.

Yeah a 4 year old thread..but what happened to that creator of this thread...I believe he used to be called Phantom of The Opera...??

coldplay has world famous best lyrics...especially some songs..really melts hearts...

this is only lyricalwise, right?

 

Creep

the scientist

Karma Police

Street spirit

Trouble v no surprises... I can't decide

wow, it's really interesting.

People are comparing Coldplay with Radiohead lyrics?

 

Coldplay's lyrics>> Direct and touching, easy - to - understand

 

Radiohead's lyrics>> Indirect and deep, hard to go through

 

Coldplay's lyrics is for all human kind, Radiohead's lyrics are for some people only.

 

I don't think that Coldplay can ever compare with Radiohead. After watching their live show, I am somehow disappointed. But it's ok, I just waste a grand sum of money to enter the concert , but hearing flaw voice of Chris. I am not really impressed by Chris.

 

However, I am quite sad though, as I cannot meet Chris after the concert!

i don't think cp's lyrics are as direct as you're making it out to be. imo they can get quite abstract and need a few plays to fully understand.

radiohead, well i'm not a hardcore fan as some here, but from what i've heard so far, they can be quite the same as coldplay: understandable or confusing.

imo they can't be compared although it seems impossible not to :tongue:

 

as for the concert, that's a shame, i've seen them live and it was amazing, i hoped the same for everyone else. maybe next time but atleast you saw them live, not everyone gets a chance too :)

as a new member i just want to see some of the members here already thats why i ask this question.

Here are the bouts:

 

In my place v Creep

the scientist v Paranoid Andriod

Yellow v Karma Police

Clocks v Street spirit

Trouble v no surprises

 

this'll probley flop but i may as well try it.

 

Creep,but neither have GREAT lyrics.

The Scientist-greatest lyrics Coldplay has ever written,I believe-if not EVER written

Karma Police,but only slightly

Clocks by a longshot

Meh......toss up

 

 

Anywhoo,Chris-best writer alive

Coldplay are a poor man's radiohead

 

they wouldn't exist without radiohead. First 2 Coldplay albums, superb. 3rd? it sounded like freakin U2 I don't think I'll bother with the latest one.

 

thanks

Haha! WOW!

 

Thanks for the heads up. I think I will ask for a refund from itunes.

Radiohead, the band Chris Martin wishes he was in. I bet he'd invent a time machine and travel back and kill thom yorke and take his place and be thom yorke if he could and be in the best band ever. THAT is what 'the scientist' is about. duh!

 

thanks

 

welcome!

 

 

:snore:

Dude, wtf are you doing! I like Radiohead =[ you're giving Radiohead a bad name with your stupidity.

 

Please, Coldplay fans, believe me when I say not all Radiohead fans are like that. There's nice ones too, like me =D

 

EDIT: Fake Plastic Trees is pure awesomeness, though.

i have four words for you. I DONT LIKE RADIOHEAD maybe i deserve to go to hell shame on me but i dont like it.:laugh3:

... :dozey:

 

I can't stand that smilie but for the first time since I've been here I feel that it's the appropriate one to use =)

Guess which Coldplaying user it was that started this thread :P

Radiohead is an awesome band, coldplay are more a softer less experimental version of Radiohead and I like them more for it. Except for the scientist though I can't think of another coldplay song that sounds similar to radiohead. So far with Coldplay's new album there is nothing that sounds like radiohead.

I love RH. And if you're here to start an argument, it's clearly not working. Chris has openly stated in interviews that he admires them, and wishes Coldplay were on the same level as them...Other than the time capsule (brilliant analisys of The Scientist) you're dead on, Bro. (At Ease must be slow today:wink3:.)
