I don't understand this band at all. Coldplay perform only one style of music-mellow, slow and medium paced mood music. That's all.
How can anyone like this band? You hear one Coldplay mood song, you hear them all. I'd greatly appreciate it if anyone could explain the appeal of this one trick pony band to me.
Take my favourite band-Black Sabbath. There's a world of variety of music contained within. The same for all my favourites, such as Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Uriah Heep, Whitesnake etc. There's slow songs, fast songs, gloomy songs, hard rock/metal, songs that are more radio friendly. There's ballads, there's instrumentals, there's blues/jazz inspired songs. There's songs that last for 3 mins, there's songs that last for 8 mins and more. There's songs with long extravagants guitar, keyboard and drum solos. There's songs that have a classical connection, there's songs that are folk, renaissance inspired. There's straight rock, there's psychadelic songs, there's acid rock. In short, there's myriads of different styles of music from Sabbath etc.
But Coldplay? One style of mood mellow music and that's all. Someone please explain.
