    Comparing the two is like comparing apples and oranges. I love them both but they suit different tastes for me. I couldn't possibly choose.

    I think this thread is going to get shit all over by people with one sided opinions though. Good Job.

    I like both bands, but for me Coldplay is not even in the same universe as Radiohead....so there is no way to compare the two.

    coldplay is gay. :D
    Another habit says it's in love with you
    Another habit says its long overdue
    Another habit like an unwanted friend
    I'm so happy with my righteous self

    radiohead for daytime non drowsy formula -- coldplay for nightime fall asleep fast formula. i like to stay awake so i'm gonna go with radiohead.
    Oh dear dad
    Can you see me now
    I am myself
    Like you somehow
    I'll ride the wave
    Where it takes me
    I'll hold the pain
    Release me

    speaking as a guy who's a radiohead skeptic... i've still got to pick them. the bends alone destroys anything coldplay ever produced. not that coldplay is bad. they're great at what they do. but radiohead is playing on a whole different level, even if i dont always like it.

    Radiohead easily takes this one.
    Which came first,
    the bad idea or me befallen by it?

    Radiohead. Hands down.

    Coldplay has always been a boring, plain, more dreary version of Radiohead to me.
    Hello, I love you. Won't you tell me your name?

    i have two coldplay albums and like them, but compared to radiohead, come on. radiohead is the best band to come out of england since.......well, led zeppelin. its all opinion, but it just doesn't get much better than radiohead, old and new.

    best bands of the 90s:

    pearl jam
    soundgarden
    alice in chains
    radiohead
    bombs, dropping down, please forgive our hometown

    Radiohead seeks artistic success.
    Coldplay seeks commercical success.

    I'd say both have been successful in their respective attempts.

    But I like Radiohead better.

    coldplay rocks

    not really. stack them up:

    pablo honey vs. parachutes... parachutes
    the bends vs. rush of blood to the head... the bends mops the floor with almost any album ever created
    ok computer vs. x&y... ok computer is and always will be legendary.

    radiohead: 2
    coldplay: 1

    after that... im not as keen on radiohead. but they get credit becos kid a sounds nothing like pablo honey or hail to the thief. whereas x&y still sounds remarkably similar to parachutes only slightly more anthemic. radiohead grew and changed. coldplay hasn't really. they're good at what they do... very good. rush of blood to the head is a great album. but i dont feel like i need to own more than one coldplay album cos they aren't doing anything new on them anyway.

    Radiohead

    Pablo Honey - good
    The Bends - one of the best
    OK computer - excellent
    Kid A - oh please don't pretend you like this shit!
    The next one - so crap I can't remember it's name but it's gathering dust upstairs somewhere.
    The one after that - see the above.

    Coldplay

    Parachutes, Rush of Blood - equal to anything Radiohead have done
    X&Y - Better than anything Radiohead have done

    Nothing Coldplay have ever put out comes cloe to The bends or OK Computer.

    Coldplay are just pleasant to listen to - everyone's 5th favourite band.
