ColdplayingfromKansas Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 Coldplay is 100% better than u2 just sayin I would have to agree with you. I find Bono's voice . . . annoying--I can listen to U2, but after three or four songs I get tired of it. Whereas Chris' voice is very soothing and I've listened to Coldplay for hours on end and not gotten tired. But I do respect them because I know they're a great band that have made their mark on the music industry :nod: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New Year's Day, Sunday Bloody Sunday, Pride, Bad, With Or Without You, Red Hill Mining Town...I'd like to see Chris sing any one of those. Plus, U2 has got FAR, FAR better lyrics. And so, so many classic songs. Sorry guys, but for now U2 > Coldplay. Come back in twenty years, we'll have this debate again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brent Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 Coldplay = U2 They're both mediocre in their own special ways. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go masturbate to the great masterpiece that is The King Of Limbs. Enjoy yourself! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love Sunday Bloody Sunday, but I really don't think any of their new material is up to scratch :shrug: And I can't put my finger on it, but Bono's voice sounds different now (but it may just be me, idk). Again, exactly. In twenty years, when Coldplay has as much experience as U2, then it will be a fair discussion :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackZ Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 Gesse man, Briggins didn't even start this thread with a Coldplay insult, just a simple sentence about how this was their time to shine or whatever.

chuck kottke Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 it's a good song And quite refreshing too! After listening to all the really big hits U2 has out there, sometimes it's nice to hear what their experimental songs are like. Coldplay were influenced by A-ha, so from that era, I seem to detect a little bit of A-ha in this song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mackplay Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 I dont have time for this. We should let tweens have these kind of debates like Gaga vs Katy Perry or Beyonce vs Rihanna We all are unique and have different tastes, just because you don't like a band or singer doesn't mean they are bad. Some people like orange juice, some prefer apple juice :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skin&Bones Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 I'M SO GLAD SOMEONE POSTED THIS!!! I have been comparing them for a while now (not just their sound, but the way they've been progressing as bands). U2 released 3 albums before they hired Brian Eno to work with them on The Unforgettable Fire. Coldplay also released 3 albums before they hired Eno to work with them on VLVODAAHF. The Unforgettable Fire got U2 far on the charts with Pride (In The Name of Love), and VLVODAAHF got Coldplay far on the charts with Viva La Vida. I definitely see similarities, and I hope those predictions are right!! Eno really made U2 bloom, and he did the same with Coldplay on VLVODAAHF. Coldplay is doing far better than U2 was in their first 4 albums (look at certifications. VLVODAAHF is already diamond in Mexico... but the internet has changed a lot) , hopefully MX is Coldplay's Joshua Tree (Arguably U2's best album aside from Achtung Baby). This would mean that Coldplay could definitely out-win U2 in the best band of the world earlier than expected-- that's if LP5 is good. Mind you, U2 is still making music... while they're on holiday, Coldplay takes the limelight :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
