Oasis or Coldplay?

[beau2ifulday]

Just curious - people seem to like one or the other.
I'm a Coldplay person. I don't mind Oasis, but i've always found them extremely overrated.

 

[FullonEdge2]

I find Oasis boring. With Coldplay, I love the chilling and beautiful harmonies. I guess a lot of people would disagree, but I don't think this one is even close.

 

[Zoots]

It's close but I have to go with Oasis because I'm familiar with more of their work. I like Coldplay but their songs are a bit boring sometimes.

 

[Sleep Over Jack]

Coldplay didn't write Definitely Maybe, Morning Glory, they don't have the best b-sides ever, or the best frontman of the last 25 years.


They're U2-lite.

 

[Zoots]

They're U2-lite.

Guess you're more direct than me.

They're U2-lite.

Coldplay have more soul in their collective little toe than Oasis have ever had, or ever will have, as far as I'm concerned... and that's coming from someone who does quite like Oasis.

I really liked Definitely Maybe, and a fair bit of What's the Story. I liked the spirit in their early stuff, and still do. Nonetheless, I don't see how Noel, at the height of fame, could write lyrics like:

She's got a sister
and God only knows how I missed her
and on the palm of her hand is a blister.

... and still claim to be part of the "best band in the world". Don't think so, Noelyboy. It was hilarious then and is still funny now.

Neither Liam, Noel nor Chris M have half the charisma that Bono has - I find them boring front men compared to B.

 

[melon]

They're both a bit overrated.

With that, I have some of both of their music.

Melon

 

[u2popmofo]

I can enjoy both.

 

[The OOTS]

Coldplay by a landslide.

 

[dandy]

i find coldplay boring but i can understand why people enjoy their music. as for oasis, liam's voice is so whiny it drives me up the wall.

i think they're both a bit overrated.

 

[RA-D]

that's one of the weirdest polls I've seen around.

"Coming soon, who's better: Bob Marley or Led Zeppelin?"


I voted Coldplay by the way, though I'd say both are top of their respective (sub-)genres.

 

[Acrobat_Al]

why pick one if you can enjoy both of them? And their music it's not the same style, they work different depending on your mood...

But Noel's the man, I must say...

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

overrated. the whole lot of em.

 

[typhoon]

that's one of the weirdest polls I've seen around.

"Coming soon, who's better: Bob Marley or Led Zeppelin?"

Well, they're both derivative British bands.

And Oasis wins by quite a bit until Chris Martin and Co. pull a "Live Forever," "Champagne Supernova," or "The Masterplan" out of their bums.

 

[daygloeyes2]

Coldplay, but Oasis is definetly a close second.

 

[WinnieThePoo]

oasis , they play harder , drink harder
, besides it's all about MU

 

[mads]

coldplay

 

[IWasBored]

neither are even close to being one of my favorite bands. they're both overrated, but i can listen to both bands and enjoy them.

 

[alexvilagosh]

I like both, but Oasis.

Well where are these soulful Coldplay songs?? Take Speed Of Sound for instance, it sounds polished, competent, yet utterly sterile..the songs have no "feel"...Just listen to the yearning of Live Forever, Don't Look Back in Anger, that is real emotion. As for the lyrics thing, every band has a dodgy lyric, are you saying U2 doesn't have theirs? Doesn't mean they're not great.

 

[*BOOMCHAA!*]

I like both of them....they're both extremely different.

Amsterdam
Warning Sign
Shiver
to name my favourite three 'emotionally'.

It's a very different emotion and doesn't come across in the more commonplace songs, such as In My Place and Trouble but it's there all the same.

 

[hippy]

Where's the option for just "both"?


I don't prefer one over the other... I like them both... depends on the mood as to which album I pull out

 

[TheBrazilianFly]

I don't like Coldplay so defenitly Oasis. Plus they are more rock n' roll and more self aware of how pretentious and arrogant they are.

 

[Saracene]

I like Coldplay, but I'd go with Oasis. That said, I find both of them slightly over-praised.

When Oasis come out with something as good, i'll reconsider my stance.

It's easy enough to hear the soulful songs... if you have ears, of course.

I have yet to see a lyric from Bono that is as utterly ridiculous as the one quoted above. Elebvation is daft in places, but it still piddles all over Noely's nonsensical jabbering (in that particular song, I mean - although generally speaking it applies too, IMO).

Quite.

It's all subjective anyway. So all this is as pointless as it ever was. To each her/his its own, and all that logical sensible stuff. Goodnight.

 

[bayernfc]

I don't mind listening to either but I agree they're both very overrated. (not as overrated as the Killers are though )

Congratulations on the most condescending post of the night.


I actually like Shiver, probably the only Coldplay song that has balls..


I don't think Coldplay have written anything that approaches the brilliance of these songs:


The Masterplan
Live Forever
Columbia
Wonderwall
Whatever
Don't Look Back in Anger
Some Might Say


and thats just a few of their best..seriously, those songs are flat-out classics, I can't really think of any Coldplay tunes that stand out, its like they aspire to mediocrity..

I have a feeling you haven't heard many Oasis songs.
