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.

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. |

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?

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?

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

Plus there's the raft of clones that have followed him. 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.

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