Radiohead or Coldplay?

[SilverEagle]

A lot of people seem to compare the two, but I really don't think you can compare any band accurately to the paranoid androids of pop music, Radiohead.

Coldplay's got my vote all the way.

 

[LiberatedChick]

I prefer Coldplay too.

 

[MissRowboat]

Coldplay

 

[LITB]

Well, I can't bear Coldplay...so it's just gonna have to be R'head I guess...

 

[puppy]

i do like both but you cant begrudge the masters

 

[Lecarde]

I love both, but radiohead gets my vote.

 

[foo-oswald]

Coldplay...Coldplay...Coldplay...No, Radiohead. No, Coldplay. Definitely Coldplay...

 

[SilverEagle]

4-4 wow. A really close vote here.

The Radiohead/Coldplay comparisons are pretty silly; for the most part, Coldplay's music doesn't even slightly resemble the aspects of Radiohead's music that make RH unique.

That said, I do like Coldplay quite a bit; but they can't compare to Radiohead in my mind. Very few bands do.

Seeing that Radiohead's music and that their name is stupid to boot, I'll have to go to with the best group to come out of Britain lately: COLDPLAY!!!!!

I just got Parachutes today!!!! AWESOME!!! Thank you Sir Elton!

hmmm, i love em both but my vote goes to Radiohead. Coldplay can get boring to me after a while.

 

[musicPhan#41]

um. i also have heard the 2 compared quite a bit.

and i would say that musically, and istrumentally, and maybe even creatively, Radiohead is better.

But i prefer listening to Coldplay. Radiohead makes me somewhat depressed, although it is incredible.

a month ago, i would have said Radiohead all the way, but with the release of X&Y, and with my purchase of their live 2003 cd/dvd, coldplay has made their way into my top 5 favorite artists to listen to right now. i think the fact that i'm in love right now also puts coldplay ahead, because they have alot of great love songs.


but they're both GREAT.

i love coldplay's attitude towards music as well.

Coldplay

I don't see how these two are similar at all! They are both different, but I would have to say Radiohead because:

a) They have been around for a tad longer
b) Their music is more deep and profound (if you could measure that!)

 

[feline]

ahhhhh!!!!!!!! Radiohead!!!!!!!

I used to love Radiohead, but went off the band. It's a tough call between early Radiohead and Coldplay, but I'd go the The Bends era Radiohead. I absolutely loved that album. I have to say, that I'm not so keen on their later releases. Coldplay are good too, just not as good.

 

[blackwasp]

There are many things I like about Coldplay, and I respect the band members immensely, but I can't quite understand the incredible hype surrounding the band. Popularity doesn't indicate greatness. Radiohead released some songs that will be remembered and enjoyed (at least by me) for many, many years to come.

I would have to agree with you.

I love Coldplay, and I think they are very talented, but as nadroj said, they just can't even be compared to Radiohead.

Cmon, no coldplay album even comes close to Ok COmputer

 

[funyun]

Both. Not "I like both, but...".

The answer is both.

And yes, the Coldplay/Radiohead comparisons are stupid. They sound nothing alike.
