I don't like them but I don't hate them.They are a good band but I only like two of their songs, Viva La Vida and Violet Hill.

I like Coldplay. They're lyrics are fun, the mood is dynamic, and the music is complicated. Also, Chris Martin has a pretty good voice. My favorite songs by Coldplay are Clocks, Yes, 42, Violet Hill, and Yellow. Viva la Vida. . .isn't really all it's hyped up to be. (Sorry Coldplay fanatics >)

I wasn't a huge fan of thembut I have listened to them a bit more since alt talked about them to me. Yellow is good and I agree viva la vida didn;t impress me much. They are a talented group and sem pretty good.

A bit of bad language at the end but very funny. Yellow by the Amateur Tranplants

(Sorry Coldplay fanatics >)

They are really great. I guess i'm not the biggest fan, but i have to admit Chris Martin has an amazing voice.

Lol, I like how they got an Emmy for the song they stole from Joe Satriani.

I like their earlier stuff much better. It was like nothing else on the scene at the time. Their new album is a bit iffy, but still ok.

Footnote:
Anyone else been called gay for admitting they like Coldplay? As if that's even a proper insult...

@zoot: They supposedly stole parts of the rhythm. :P

Clocks is genius, nuff said. Yes sounds great, great orchestral line, 42 has a really cool combo of piano and vocals, and Violet Hill has a cool guitar line, cool vocals. I like how Chris Martin's voice sounds, and he can sing differently in different songs, like Clocks and Yes.

@firefly: Some of their new stuff is quite similar to their older. I don't like Viva la Vida all that much to be honest, but the other songs on that album are good. Lovers in Japan is good too. Strawberry Swing is okayish, imo. And no, I haven't been called gay for liking Coldplay at all 0_o

Yeah I definately think that they got better songs then Viva La Vida. I like Yellow and Clock.

And no, I haven't been called gay for liking Coldplay at all 0_o

Yellow is great. I like Yes because of the vocals, and the violin line in it, which is great.

It seems that where I come from, liking Colplay means you ain't a red blooded heterosexual.

The two songs sound similar. . . .

As someone who knows a fair bit about music theory, all I could see was differences in the instrumentation and in some of the composition. Of course, Satriani doesn't use lyrics to go with his songs, but at school the other day my friends played the two songs simultaneously, and they fit together like a puzzle.
