Can't say that I hate them but I really do find their music depressing and would not be able to sit through a whole album of theirs - believe me I've tried! I really think there are better acts out there but I suppose it comes down to personal taste at the end of the day.

It is a very good song- but God it's being overplayed on the radio. It not even released for another 3 weeks
Am going to be sick of it long before then.

I can't understand why people hate bands such as Coldplay and Keane so much. I can see why people dislike the music, it can be seen as depressing or dull and bland, but to go to the lengths of using words such as hate I can't find any reason too.

Then again personally I hate 50 Cent. I think his music is uninspired and sounds like he's not even trying, because he knows his fans will buy anything. Plus there's the raft of clones that have followed him.

Sorry to quote your whole post but I agree entirely with both points. HOWEVER...

...I personally can't stand U2 and find them really, really boring. I've been told they're not boring because they use loud guitars and have big anthemic songs, but it's because they're nowhere near as good as several other bands who do a similar thing, yet get all the attention. Including Portugal's top honour, ferchrissake.

I think this is where people get their hatred of these bands. Not them personally - that their own pet band doesn't get the same attention, even though they deserve it more. It's really not worth it, though, as I know this thread would be about Long-View or Cosmic Rough Riders if they got anywhere near the attention I think they deserve.

Still can't bloody stand U2 though, and I have to get this off my chest: 'Vertigo' was a direct and blatant steal of 'Orpheus' by Ash. I can't be the only one to have noticed this, can I?

I think you've pretty much got it spot on there. I don't get it personally. When Snow Patrol were struggling to get noticed with "When It's All Over We Still Have To Clear Up", I didn't particularly want to hate any other bands

Can open. Worms, everywhere.

No btw.

Do a search of this forum, for 'Coldplay', and you'll see.

They are actually pretty good, annoyingly.

I wonder if back in '96, (if Internet forums were as big then) we would have got the same amount of threads slagging of Oasis and Blur?

The difference then was that (generally speaking) you were either into one or the other, so it was all about "Oasis are better than Blur" or vice-versa*. At the moment, it's all Coldplay, Keane etc, and if you like one, you're more likely to like all of them.

* I actually like both, but then I am exceptional and have reached a zen-like calm where I do not hate music any more

I can see why you would dislike someone like 50 Cent's music but as you said yourself, hatred is putting it a bit strong.

I do like some of 50 Cent's stuff myself, and I don't mind Coldplay but i have to really be in a certain type of mood to listen to them. I love Keane on the other hand, I just find Coldplay too too depressing, no matter how nice the song is. The latest song is really nice but i have to turn off most of the time, because i consider it "funeral music".

I must say I liked both Oasis and Blur but Blur were always my favourites!

As for Coldplay - I quite like their music to be honest! (and Keane's!) - yeah you must think I'm SO boring and normal!

I don't think I "hate" any band or artist though...let me think...no really there is no band I hate. I might just hate somebody's music but that's all.

But I can understand that if you don't like Coldplay's music and hear it 10 times a day - it must really get on your nerves!

Coldplay are good and their new song is excellent, but sometimes they can be hover hyped a little like James Blunt in my opinion, i just don't get what all the fuss is about.

I don't know how you could call Embrace "Coldplay wannabes". I seem to remember being a fan of Embrace long before Coldplay had even released their first album.

There is something of a link between the two though, since Chris Martin wrote one of Embrace's most recent hits.
