Official "I hate COLDPLAY" Thread. Am I the only one who thinks they´re shite?

Anon

their last album was not good at all
in the latest (i think) rolling stone article w/ chris martin, chris is quoted saying that their band last year was 'bigger than they were good'
i agree.
but parachutes is a great album, and i'm loving their new material!

The VIva La Vida is Coldplay's experimental record, both musically and politically. Some songs were played on Persian Santur rather than a guitar. Jonny Buckland's guitar tone is more aggressive than ever. Click here to check out the whole album on-line for free.

fuck off spammer.

Yellow is absolutely beautiful, and I also like Clocks and The Scientist, but overall they kinda bore me. Don't hate them but I definitely won't spend a long drive listening to their albums either.

i don't know why people feel the need to spew negative energy announcing their dislike for a band

it's music, it is all subjective

what one person likes, another person doesn't

Get_Right

first two records were excellent
X&Y was good but had a couple of clunkers

so far the new one is a total dissapointment

AlBorland

anybody listen to The Herd on ESPN radio?

"I'll have a daiquiri and some Coldplay please! I wouldn't even vacuum my house to this stuff. Coldplay is like Pau Gasol, just too soft." lol

At least Chris Cornell's street team were real, human spammers. Coldplay can only get robots.

Stuff White People Like: Coldplay

It is easy to think that all white people love Coldplay. However, if you assume this you will miss a great opportunity to dig beneath the surface of white people and learn how to really get inside their heads. By understanding a white person’s feelings toward the band, you can evaluate, recognize, and eventually exploit the type of white person you are dealing with.

White people who list Coldplay as their favorite band are what we will call “basic” level white. Chances are that they discovered the band a few years ago and have attended at least one concert. Their knowledge of music is very limited, and there is a 100 percent chance that they also like U2. If you need to befriend one of these people, just tell them that X&Y helped you get through a difficult breakup. They will understand.

If you mention the band to a white person and that white person rolls their eyes, you are likely dealing with a “standard” level white person. The way to know for sure is to say, “I consider the band to be a guilty pleasure.” A favorable reaction indicates that your white person is indeed standard level. For the most part, these people are either former fans ( “I liked Parachutes when it came out”) or very reluctant fans (“Yeah, I guess ‘The Scientist’ is a good song”). Though they may appear more standoffish than basic level white people, they are far easier to manipulate once you know their secret.

Due to its big, sweeping sound, Coldplay’s music is perfect for montages about relationships in television and film. Because of this, many white people have listened to a Coldplay song on their iPod while looking out the window of an airplane or car, imagining that they are acting out a scene from a movie about their life. It is their secret shame and it is strongly recommended that you never bring it up with them. Instead you should direct the conversation to white hero Gwyneth Paltrow and her choice of baby names. This is guaranteed to put a white person in a good mood.

It is important to be aware that an affinity for Coldplay can cause an immediate loss of respect among “advanced” level white people. The best way to earn the trust of these people is to say “Coldplay is this generation’s U2.” (Note: this is an insult.) Advanced level white people are often the poorest white people in terms of money but the richest in terms of credibility and respect.

Knowing how to use Coldplay to your advantage will be one of your main assets as you climb the white social ladder.
