I think that's a common misconception about people who like Coldplay. I love Coldplay but I'd hate to only listen to bands who sound like them. My favourite bands are Hot Chip, LCD Soundsystem, Spiritualized, Radiohead and Super Furry Animals. However, whenever you dare to admit stuff you like Coldplay, people seem to think you only listen to stuff like Starsailor, James Blunt and Keane (all of whom I hate).

I'm sorry James but I just can't agree with that. I like Coldplay but hate the other three artists you mentioned. And I do like music.
Absolutely classic 'received wisdom'. To play on your own cliche, this is an opinion for people that don't actually have one. By all means dislike Coldplay, but a grow a set and come up with some kind of reason that actually makes anyone believe you know something about music and have thought about it.

SERIOUSLY!
That's a bit rich coming from you.
Oh look!
Ooh, another one, how many can I find?

Coldplay - the crapper they get, the more they sell. And they were never much cop to start with. How does THAT work?

coldplay hating is this some kind of sport now days, to be honest couldn't give a shit about peoples reason for not liking them. All i know is they are one of the most successful bands in the world sell out gigs in hours and are bloody good live. All this crap about being anti music is just plain balls as for falling into the same category as James Blunt are you on something...

There are always going to be exceptions but, from where I'm standing, a heck of a lot of Coldplay fans are just trying to join in. As I said before, I don't think their music is bad in itself, I just find that most people who really like them haven't heard of much else.

But if you read what I said, I don't dislike them because I think they are musically bad - they're a bit bland but that's not the biggest crime in the world. I just find the majority of their fanbase very annoying.
In any case, I wouldn't claim to know a great deal about music... and I guess that is where I differ from a lot of people I've met who tell me Coldplay are amazing.

I agree that Coldplay fall into the same bland bracket as James Blunt, Keane and Travis. It's "pop by numbers", but hey, if that's what people like ..........
I've just discovered Los Campesinos, they're much more imaginative and easier on the ear.

Well to hell with the lot of you.
I went into Woolworths today and brazenly pciked the Coldplay Album from the display stand. I even looked at it and read the track titles whlist people were walking past me. Hell I don't care !.
I took the CD to the counter and the 16 year old girl picked up my shiny new copy from the shelf whilst giving me a look mixed between disgust and pity.
I am now blaring it out on my CD no doubt to the ridicule of the neighbours. The first track is a belter, an instrumental track which hightlights the genius of these musicians. It fecking ROCKS. The other stand out is Viva la Vida surr to become a clasic summer song when it is undoutedebly released as a single.
A full review will follow in due course.
So in short I DON'T BLOODY WELL CARE IF I AM UN COOL SO THERE.

I don't actually give a shit Tom. I like what I like, if people don't like that tough. There are too manty people on NSC who follow the herd afraid to say what they really like or really think in case they get the piss taken out of them. I would rather be free willed and riducled than in a straight jacket of thought and with the supposed in crowd.
