"Coldplay = Musical beige They have to be a contender... " -I know what you mean of course, but they have written some good stuff too imo. I used to feel that same about U2 at one point as I found them so pretentious, these days I tend to concede (like the musician here) that most bands have done some good stuff at some point. And to their fans of course they are the business.. I actually think M People are great for example! pt | |||

We make music, we have fun making music, and people who have seen us at gigs tell us that we are actually quite good. As you say, all music is good, and it's better than not being in a band. | |||

When I hear their songs I either thing meh or well that's not so bad! One or two I do like. In principal their sound is just typical British 'prog-pop' in a fairly minimalist setting. Not my first bag by any means, but it's been a standard format in the UK since The Who (and no I'm not calling them The Who!). And yes they come over as pretty middle class.

From above I'd say Dire Straights, Five Star and Wet Wet Wet for sure. Maybe Queen at their worst, though they could raise their game for sure. It's hard to dislike Queen. The last time I listened to a UK new-music radio show (I admit I'm not current with this stuff) most of it really underwhelmed me to be honest. I like female voices, but I when I listen past the popular song I'm often disappointed. And sometimes I don't even like the popular song. I hear loads of 'bland' all the time. At least Coldplay had (or have if they are still going) their own sound. Just realised someone said Tina Turner in this thread! - I'm adding her to my current playlist too. Love her. pt | |||

I like all the Macs up the mid 80's. And their awesome rhythm section (ie their name) remained the same throughout all their many iterations. Rumours may get a bit over-played, but it will never sound like a bad album ever. As long as songs can be good and bad it just isn't. Tusk and Mirage and good cult albums too - loads of freaky Lindsay Buckingham stuff on them. pt pt | |||

Rarely listen to their music but really like them. Went to their first tour in about 89, then a few times after, missed the whole stadium level tours and last saw them about 4-5 years ago. Definitely one of the best live bands around | |||

"My list of worst bands that are unfathomably popular: Coldplay Keane Foo Fighters Franz Ferdinand Creed Nickleback Maroon 5 Lewis Capaldi Ed Sheeran I probably have more, but these are off the top of my head. All of them make music for people who don't like music." That’s harsh. Quite like Coldplay and not remotely ashamed to admit it. I think the “cool kids” just think it is game to not like things that are popular. It is just musical snobbery. | |||

"Sorry to disappoint, "Cold Play" are watered down Radiohead wannabes... Go listen to a Radiohead album instead - much better! Can Jedward be counted? They are crap & annoying.... "Oh Radiohead are better but that doesn’t make Coldplay “the worst” as there are plenty better contenders for that crown! | |||

"My list of worst bands that are unfathomably popular: Coldplay Keane Foo Fighters Franz Ferdinand Creed Nickleback Maroon 5 Lewis Capaldi Ed Sheeran I probably have more, but these are off the top of my head. All of them make music for people who don't like music. That’s harsh. Quite like Coldplay and not remotely ashamed to admit it.
