Grabo-Son

Still Agree with Meedge At the end of the day, some people like U2, and some people like Coldplay... and thats the balance... i'm okay with that...

FACT: Bono is his own entity, a star without pre-meditated actions or self- conscious posturing FACT: U2 sound like U2 FACT: Coldplay sound like some sort of hybrid radiohead/U2 bastard abomination of nature which some how festered and grew into a giant pulsating boil of sound which has been tortuing the ears of humanity for the last 10 years. FACT: Bono is a Moose-head, Chris Martin has L.T. Receeds

Agree with Meedge I stumbled on this page out of sheer boredom, and found this thread quite amusing... Meedge's assessment of Coldplay is grounded in fact, not opinion... all the clamouring of "why can't we like both?" is juvenile rhetoric , suitable for the brain deficient. FACT: U2, like all good bands(pixies, radiohead, nirvana, smiths) is not a slave to its influences, but an almagamation of all its inspirations presented into something new and constantly evolving.
