...always get a hard time around here.
Has anyone got their new album ?

I've always thought they are much better than others and get a rough time unnecessarily. A rush of blood to the head has to be a great album in anyone's mind.

I like Coldplay. Always have. nobody else seems to though.

Used to be a coldplay obssesive. Like properly adored them and everything about them but i have matured musically thank god. they are a good gateway band for getting me into other things. they will always have a special place in my musical world. listening to viva la vida today is proving interesting. they have moved out of their comfort zone it would seem but they are still guilty of the big choruses and sort of sweeping sounds that typified x&y in some places. that said i am enjoying it...its no kid a but its a start!

I used to be obsessed for a bit myself.

Parachutes is one of my all time favorite albums. "High Speed" is one of THE best songs...ever. Brilliant.

A Rush of Blood To The Head is superb.

Then I sort of lost interest. They got too polished, or big, or something that I can't describe, for my liking.

Still love Parachutes and Rush of Blood To The Head though!

I'm not enjoying this thread anymore so I'm gonna walk out of it in a big prissy rock star huff...

*snicker*

I like Parachutes, not so keen on the others. 'Fix You' makes me want to vomit. I think it's Chris Martin's voice that really grates on my ears.

That said I do quite like 'Violet Hill'...

I like their early stuff but hated X&Y........I don't like Violet Hill, the lyrics remind me of Pink Floyd without Roger, total shite.

Really like Coldplay, but have only listened to the new album once. Hopefully it's a grower as I was a bit disappointed...

Chris Martin makes me want to hurt things!
I loved Parachutes, i can't listen to it any more, but as someone else said, that album opened my eyes to a different kind of music... up till that point i was VERY into Linkin Park!!!!

Linkin Park always makes me think of this girl I used to know called Hayley Parkin. Ha.

What were you thinking by the way...?!

(And Blink 182!!)
The only decent club in our (very rural) area had a mix of DJs... including a NU-metally DJ... so you know... i was influenced! After that i got more into indie, then Elbow then opened even MORE doors, if i'm honest, the biggest influence on my music taste has been the SP forum, those guys have GOOD taste!

SP?

Snow Patrol, I think she means. I was going to point out the obvious flaw in that sentence, but that'd just be cruel
