I can't name even one album of "coldplay's"... why? Not because I'm not tuned into music I can tell you that. No one listens to as much rock radio as I do. No, it's because they aren't fit to even be meantioned in the same breath as the Beatles, that's why.
- The Police? I'm sorry but the ONLY thing coldplay has on the police IS longevity. 
- The animals? See above.
- Their music is no Hendrix either. Again, if not for his untimely death one wonders just how many years and how many other great works of art Jimmi would have come up with.
I don't know why you guys even argue this crap with me. Coldplay? Please. They have more work to do, as in lots, if they truly want to be ranked and remembered among the greats. They need to come out with some less gay shit. :D |
Well you totally misunderstood me. I was actually agreeing with you for the most part. I know everything there is to know about The Beatles, thank you very much. Coldplay as I said has been around since 1997. So if you add in those years before they began recording, it is pretty close to how long The Beatles were together as a band. So my analogy was correct.
I was also not comparing Coldplay to the likes of The Police or The Beatles. I was just trying to make a point that do they really need to go on and make more albums to not gain respect? As I said earlier, those songs like "The Scientist," "Clocks" and "Fix You" are some of the best pop/rock songs I have heard this entire decade quality wise. Chris Martin is an incredibly gifted pianist and songwriter. Their music is not disposable like 90% of the rest of pop music you hear. It's quite refreshing to hear such a talented band.
It's true, that they haven't made a lot of albums. And to be honest, I wasn't a huge fan of their 2005 album X&Y. But it did contain the classic "Fix You." Didn't care much for "Speed of Sound" but "Talk" was okay. We'll see how their brand new album is. So far I like the first single, and the second single I'm not sure yet.
So.. Please don't compare me to the rest of the morons in this thread... we were actually on the same thinking level! You just misunderstood what I said.
