Whats the Beef with Coldplay?

I like Coldplay but it is not something I play around my friends. That just seems a little strange to me. And Radiohead is great but musically they are so different they should not be compared to Coldplay.

If you really believe that I think you need to broaden your horizons because that's one of the most erroneous statements I've ever seen on Niketalk.

To me all of their songs sound extremely similar and, as someone said, they all walk around like they're the best thing since sliced bread.  If you're going to be a pretentious, cocky band of douche bags at least make good music.

And for the record, Radiohead is above and beyond anything Coldplay could ever hope to be and in reality, Coldplay should be writing Radiohead royalty checks every time they get paid because it's sickening how much Chris wants to be Thom.

Opinions are opinions but come on now.  I understand you dislike them or whatever, but their music is fine.  I don't care if they should be writing royalty checks to Radohead, what they put out is solid.  I'm not saying they're the best or put out the best music in the past decade but its on point and people obviously like it.

i don't understand how anybody who has listened to the two could even process the thought of Coldplay being the better band...
 
I'm not saying they're the worst band ever because there's obviously worse stuff out there and I don't mind a few of their songs; all I'm saying is for some reason people think they're a hell of a lot better than they really are and if they themselves didn't think they were so amazing it wouldn't be as annoying. 

Modesty is a quality they severely lack, and I think their overconfidence is extremely unjustified.

You sure you aren't confusing them with U2?
Yeah I'm sure. I also hate U2.

 Right on cue..I knew you'd be the one to say something..You have this "my opinion about rock is FACT because I'm one of the few white dudes in the music forum and that's ALL I listen to" attitude that's annoying...Dude stop..Just how you may think Coldplay is garbage, I think NIN and Trent are garbage..It's all subjective so quit actin like you're preaching gospel..
 
i used to mess with coldplay alot more before x/y and viva la vida, saw them live too and they werent as impressive as i expected. although being in the nosebleeds of a 50 000 seat stadium and with my boring ### ex probably didnt help

Well if you didn't notice, several people agreed with what I said in here so while my opinion is obviously not fact, it's somewhat agreed upon, at least with this topic.

Beyond that, that is an incredibly ignorant statement you just made.  You wouldn't know me if I walked into a room wearing a shirt with my name on it, so please refrain from pretending to know anything about me, much less what music I listen to.  I have 18,664 songs in my iTunes; that's 54 days, 14 hours, and 13 minutes of music, and you think it's all rock?  I listen to everything from Tool and NIN to Miles Davis and John Coltrane to The Roots and Wu-Tang to George Strait and Dwight Yoakam to Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin to Chopin, Bach, and Mozart.  I don't think I should have to preface my posts with "IMO" every single time I want to say something when it's beyond obvious that what I'm saying is my opinion.  You should stop getting your little feelings hurt every time I say something you don't agree with because that's where your problem with me resides.  Clean the sand out of your vagina, untwist your pretty pink panties, and try not taking offense to everything I say.

Whoa whoa whoa, you're quick to defend yourself? You sure I'm the one that's upset? I didn't know a response online could get that deep into your skin..
