The Music Thread Strikes Back

Coldplay just a bit meh for me all personal choice mind.
 
Wife is watching Coldplay. I've got my headphones on not listening to Coldplay.
 
Turned Coldplay off, boring and pretentious.

Saw them live in 2007, dull as dull could be but Chris Martin thought he was a charismatic frontnan. I'm sure he's a nice bloke but he's got all the charisma of Kier Starmer.

Doves were miles better.

I have enjoyed Paul Heaton, Jungle, Sugababes, Bloc Party and currently Disclosure make of that what you will.

The Last Dinner Party were brilliant this afternoon. The Streets and Fontaines D.C I've also really enjoyed
 
I quite liked some of the early Coldplay stuff but for me they've got well over blown in recent years.
Watched a bit when I came in from the pub, found it all a bit dreary tbh. The crowd was massive so obviously they're still popular.
 
I have seen the Michael J Fox clips on social media and tbf that's pretty moving
 
I didn't watch Coldplay, but I don't hate them. Parachutes was decent, and I don't mind Viva la Vida and a couple of other tracks, but overall find them pretty tedious. The fact that they are so huge is puzzling to me, they really aren't that good.

First two albums I liked but then I lost all interest. Like you say it seems puzzling they're so popular because their music is generally pretty bland so doesn't make sense for it to inspire so many people to get behind them. I always think the same of Drake, every song of his I've ever heard seems dull as fuck, not sure what anyone is excited about with him.
 
Free to a good home. I have a Clone Roses ticket at Holmfirth Picturedrome on 27th Sept. Can't make it now as a hospital appointment landed my way that day. Anybody that way that wants in PM me and I'll send it your way.
 
Coldplay...when I have heard anyone else play their songs...even an open mic hacker...they are infinitely better than the original. Coldplay can write a decent song and then murder it with blandness.

I saw Sting last week, not really a big fan , but he was really good. First act up though was Storry...exceptional. Hell of a back story she has too.

Very true.

Chris Martin wrote a song called Gravity in their early days but wasn't that keen on it, and gave it to Embrace as they supported them on Embrace's tours. Coldplay still recorded a version, which is on YouTube and can be used as a cure from insomnia. Embrace's version is really good and did pretty well for them.
 
I've managed to catch up on a couple of acts from Glastonbury on iPlayer.

Two Door Cinema Club: tremendous. Played nearly all older stuff which was surprising.

Janelle Monae: bonkers and brilliant. Her voice is so good. She isn't just a singer though, her whole thing is a performance. I'd highly recommend searching on YouTube for her Glastonbury performance from a few years ago, it's one of the best Glastonbury shows I think I've ever seen.
