Anybody who is saying Blueprint or Black Album are his best album needs to go out and buy Reasonable Doubt TODAY. You will love it.

Besides "Anything" and maybe "Show Me What You Got", name 1 below average song on this album. So much hate for Jay nowadays.

The Jay-Z album has leaked- and the song sounds very different than I expected. If you're not a fan of hip hop, you probably won't like it. Personally, Jay and Coldplay are two of my favorite artists/bands, so I love it. Chris sounds good on the hook. In the context of the rest of the album, it's the last track and has a great reflective feel to it.

Just checked out the album... very solid. If you like "Crazy", I'd definitely recommend it.

Not to dispute your opinion but: Trent Reznor said himself that Johnny Cash's cover affected him so deeply that he has not been able to listen to his own version.

I wouldn't buy one of her albums... but I respect her a lot. She's got a very unique voice.

Chris Martin has more money and fame than The Darkness could ever dream of. He's gotta be laughing his ass of this at this stupid publicity stunt. I have to admit... his comments on Bono are right on.

Roland- they caught him with his pants down in a public place.... :wink3: The line is: "They caught him with his case in a public place." "Roland" is about a drug dealer.

Well.... the first step is recognizing it. Although, I thought the lyrics on their first 2 albums were pretty good.

She sucks... but I'd hit that.

I'm surprised Fix You has been such a flop commercially. It is a great song (much better than most of the stuff on X&Y), and I thought it would catch the same audience that The Scientist did.

I don't think anyone thinks that X&Y sucks, I was just saying it's a disappointment. Parachutes and AROBTTH set very high standards, and X&Y is just good.

Bad example. "Lose Yourself" was a good song, whether or not like you like Eminem, rap, or the amount of radio play it got. The critics weren't wrong with X&Y. Rolling Stone is usually pretty terrible, but these 2 quotes perfectly desribe the album: "Whereas Rush of Blood was a nervy bid for bigness, X&Y is something less exciting. It's the serious sound of Martin trying to sing songs that match his stature. It's the sound of a blown-up band trying not to deflate." "Martin has talked about how hard he worked on this album, and it shows: Nothing on it sounds easy"

Glad to see that he's hurt by the reviews, because any Coldplay fan knows that they can make a much better album. Maybe this will push them to move away from the whole U2 approach next time. I still love Coldplay, but X&Y is uber average.

Their sets are much shorter live, and X&Y is easily their worst album.

For them to still be at #4 is pretty impressive, especially off of 1 single that really didn't take off as well as expected in the States.

Paul's looking much more healthy nowadays. When Antics came out the guy looked like death.

Like them or not, The Strokes started the entire retro rock, indie explosion that is still going on today. Without the huge hype after the Modern Age EP, that just wouldn't exist. I think #100 is the perfect spot Is This It? White Blood Cells brought the whole retro revival to a mainstream level. Weezer was a breath of fresh air to the whining grunge movement that was going on in the early 90s. They suck now, though. Wu Tang's Enter the 36 Chambers probably deserves to be much higher than where it was placed. I remember hearing that when it was first released and thinking that this was the new direction of hip hop. It was a revolution at the time it was released. Along with Illmatic, it is the most important hip hop album of the 90s.

I consider Parachutes a classic album, but not in the way that it broke any kind of barriers. It just did a phenomenal job at being what it was trying to be. But I don't think it will get much better than that for Coldplay after seeing the direction they're going with X&Y. Don't get me wrong, X&Y is a good album. But they're going down a road that's been traveled by tons of bands before them. Them putting up posters of U2 while recording X&Y pretty much sums it all up. They're going to be a great arena rock band. And there's no chance they will ever release anything as good as OK Computer, or The Beatles Revolver, Rubber Soul, The White Album, or Sgt. Pepper. Sorry.

Great Songs: 1. White Shadows 2. X&Y 3. Square One 4. Fix You 5. Low 6. A Message Nice songs: 7. Talk 8. Speed of Sound 9. Swallowed in the Sea 10. Til Kingdom Come Zzzzzzz... 11. What If? 12. Twisted Logic 13. The Hardest Part

Californication for me. It wasn't very well received when it came out, but over the years people have really started to appreciate it. There's not a single song I skip on that album. Otherside is badass.

I'm so disappointed with "Direction". I've never thought Interpol made a bad song until I heard it today. For a song called direction, I find it ironic that it seems to go absolutely nowhere.

I don't like the type of music that either makes, but Justin has had better songs. I'm not too indie to admit that "Cry Me a River" was a good song. Although Timbaland's beat made that song....

I don't know anybody who didn't have Jagged Little Pill when "Ironic" was on the radio. Guy or girl, everybody had it.
