I never have understood what the appeal of Coldplay was lol
I’m not a huge fan but they make some good music. I really liked their debut album but completely fell off by the time they released that Daft Punk ripoff
Side note about that track: You don’t even have to change the bpm or key. Just put the tracks on top of each other and line it up. It’s nearly the same song with different vocals
Maybe I should listen to a whole album before making a final decision, but every time I hear a Coldplay song it’s always just seemed terribly boring. Like someone doing a bad cover of a song I already didn’t like that much in the first place lol
I don’t listen to Coldplay when I want to listen to something I want to jam to.
I play it on the way home so I have something other than the constant drone of tires on a highway and passing vehicles to listen to. It doesn’t have to be groundbreaking, I don’t want something that will truly distract my driving.
That said, I only have like three songs i don’t just immediately skip.
Not an avid listener, but The Scientist (2002, so… old) really sunk in for me when I heard it. His voice gets criticized but I think it fits in perfectly with that song’s subject matter as an exploration of grief and unsuccessfully trying to confront trauma with reason and logic.
Haven’t listened to anything newer that that, so ignorance is bliss over here!
If you’ve never seen the video, this is a rare example where it adds really valuable context to the song itself.
Get Lucky and…I think the Coldplay song is called Adventure of a Lifetime
I never understood the love or the hate for Coldplay. I think the best quote I ever read about them was “Coldplay is the musical representation of the color beige”.
Chris Martin’s vouce annoys me like no other. “Fix you” is in my opinion one of the worst, whiniest songs ever. I can’t stand it.
They were playing at a festival I went to back around when Clocks came out and they were getting massive. I went to the second stage and watched Feeder instead. Best decision ever. Their album at the time was Comfort in Sound and you could feel the emotion the band were still feeling after their drummer’s suicide on top of that they seemed really appreciative of the crowd watching them instead of Coldplay.
Viva la Vida is pretty good. Other than that one track I don’t really care for them
Coldplay after a long day sounds pretty nice tho.
Literally never heard of them. I’m more about ColdStorage!
I once wandered into a bizarro social circle where people unironically listened to Coldplay and were completely unaware that they are an internet meme, and I ended up looking like a crazy person when I tried to explain it.
