So I saw this topic on another forum. I didn't see one on here, and although I'm wary of starting a new thread, I'm curious about what Coldplayers think.

 

I'll start. I really really don't like U2 (swear I'm not trying to troll here!). I find that a lot of their stuff is very bland for my taste, and their albums are all the same to me! I also really don't like Bono (his voice is too repetitive and he is a boring lyricist, in my opinion). They're just plain-Jane rock to me, and I don't see what the big deal is.

 

However, I do respect them for paving the way for bands like Coldplay to take the main stage. I really think that they basically created the arena-rock niche that Coldplay, Oasis, RHCP, etc found success in.

 

Any thoughts? :D

I dont like Radiohead at all.

 

I think I respect them.

You think? :lol:

I'm not that fond of U2, but yeah I respect them.

Burial.

Radiohead and U2.

NONE of U2's albums sound the same. :dozey:

The two main artists are: Bruce Springsteen and Jimi Hendrix (like some songs, but never got into his music)

Nickleback....oh wait, I don't respect them.

Oh yes and Bruce Springsteen.

 

Can't stand his voice AT ALL.

Love Springsteen, can't get into Dylan. Both very influential songwriters and storytellers.

I like Dylan (though not as much as I used to). Seen Dylan live... worst concert ever.... honestly I couldn't understand a fucking word he was singing :lol: :|

Nickleback....oh wait, I don't respect them.

 

^2nd! :lol:

Zeppelin ... Respect, but can't stand.

Bob Dylan would be one I agree with.

I love most Dylan, but the_gloaming09 is right...he's most definitely past his prime. WAY past his prime.

 

And I hate the Dylan era where he only wrote songs about being a new, born again Christian. Every album he put out was awful, for like 9 years or so.

Muse

Radiohead

U2

Bjork.

Grouplove. :nod:

I disagree, but to an extent. He still puts out great music, even in his 70's. I liked most of the songs during his Christian era, but the CD's following that era were pretty mediocre.

I love the album Modern Times. I think it's a lot better than Shot of Love or Oh Mercy, which both came from his Christian era. But we all have our opinions! :D

 

Awesome username, by the way. BIG TUNA

Burial.

 

hmm explain this? im interested.

I don't like Burial, I can't get into it. Can't stand is quite the stretch, but he's pretty good. He produced a good chunk of Jamie Woon's Mirrorwriting.

 

Also, Frank Zappa and Joanna Newsom.

Fair enough.

I agree with Frank Zappa.

My favorite is Time Out of Mind, but Modern Times is definitely close. I love me some Bob.

 

I love Mr. Bernard. Cornell FTW.
