I think Coldplay's style is really unique and interesting, and I give them a lot of respect for being able to make it without ripping off of other artists and by basically revolutionizing "alternative" rock, but they're not like the majority of these mainstream alternative bands. They really have their own style, for which I think they deserve a lot of respect. However, as Finn said, they are quite dull for me to listen to. The only songs I liked were X and Y, Clocks, and The Scientist. Their new songs bore me (Viva La Vida, for example) too much.
=o! I've just taught myself Clocks and Viva La Vida on the Piano. -I can't play them all the way through, but I can play them alright. I also taught myself Apologize by One Republic. It's tough, but I think that Coldplay is a good band.
How can you say they cant preform Live. Fix you at glastanbury, one of the best live performances I have ever seen
Both impressed me. I absolutely hated there older music it was all generally too high pitched soft and whiny. but these 2 songs were actually decent.
