"coldplay is lifestyle music"

what an incredibly brilliant way to describe them.

"the killers are shit"

what an amazingly accurate statement!

Coldplay aren't at the october stage! You can't compare them like that.They've sold loads more albums than U2 had having released 2 albums I think "Speed of Sound" is a great track. U2 are the best band ever though. I think Coldplay need to have a few more albums before they make claims like that. I think alot of their stuff has been not great (any single of Parachutes apart from yellow)

Finally good to meet some people that think the killers are bad too. All their OK stuff is just U2 rip-offs anyway. I think Franz Ferdinand aren't great either(one good song!). The best 2 albums I bought last year were HTDAAB (obviously!) and Final Straw by Snow Patrol (not up themselves unlike that idiot Brandon Flowers or just hype like Franz Ferdinand).

Zoomerang96 · 05-26-2005, 05:24 PM

franz ferdinand is actually good though, in that i disagree with you.

first, and this is purely subjective but they are NOT the best band. second, in present times the state of music has been rebounding. Look at all the new great bands out right now, just to name a few...Bloc Party, The Killers, audioslave, franz ferdinand, etc. etc.

Jesus Franz Ferdinand are garbage no matter what Bono says about them and the others ain't nothing to write home about either!

Whatever Mr Martin.

And do you think that if U2 had released the very overrated (at least on here) SYCMIOYO against the frog crap it would have still made number one???? Me thinks not!

Agreed 100%. They had one great song and the rest of their singles were just average album tracks.

Snow Patrol are my favourite band after U2. Unlike Franz Ferdinand they have more than one good song.

Quite right...talking about whether this band or that band is good is like debating if onions are good. Everyone has their own taste and you can't help what you like. All you can do is keep trying new foods.

After what will soon be three albums from Coldplay, I'll safely say that The Arcade Fire are alread 5 times as great as Coldplay ever was or is. If any band I can see right now has potential to live up to U2's standards I believe it's The Arcade Fire, but that's just a whole nother conversation now isn't it?

OMG, I absolutely agree. The Arcade Fire and their music are so much more capable of being the best band in the world, more so than Coldplay. The AF are my second favorite group and their music makes me feel almost the same way that U2's does.

Yeah but I am right..... Franz Ferdinand are CRAP!

Man I've read this thread and it's made me laugh!

What are Coldplay now? The Anti-Christ??? The Anti-Bono??? Are U2 fans going to organise CD burnings because of their "We're bigger than U2" like they did for John Lennon's "Beatles are bigger than Jesus?" Seriously do you not see the parallels? A band is not allowed to have ambition? Chris Martin talks about reaching the heights of U2 cos they are the yardstick, it could be any band out there, he could have said the Beatles, the Stones, the Police, whoever. "Big, brash" statements are wrong when said by Chris, but Bono's been making the same sort of statements for 26 years. What's the difference?

So Coldplay don't do it for you? Well, U2 don't do it for a chunk of the population either. So what are you gonna do?

The hypocrisy of fans by claiming that U2 have "something to back" their own "biggest band" in the world statements. Geez. That was like 13 years ago, and the album was Achtung Baby.

the killers nor franz do anything for me either, it seems like yet the continuing phase that started with the strokes, hives, vines..young blokes ripping off music before their time
