Coldplay are often compared to U2 and Oasis due to, well, national and temporal proximity. Since U2 were shall we say past their prime by the time Coldplay showed up and Oasis were busy imploding in the post-Standing on the Shoulders of Giants world, everyone was like ” yeah New Britpop! ” and verily Coldplay were crowned king without anyone noticing that they were actually quite shit !
Coldplay are U2 without the anthemic stadium-filling feeling of, well, U2. Coldplay are Oasis without the hooks and the swagger.Basically Coldplay are an amalgamation of all of the things that made U2 and Oasis good without actually possessing any of the things that made those two bands stadium greats, yet they still have the desire to do the things that Oasis and U2 once did. Coldplay has pretension of world-changing rock without having anything to say. They attempt to write big, epic, hubris-fueled songs without understanding what makes an epic song stand out. So instead the music of Coldplay is just a joyless -if technically proficient – slog through songs that just kind of listlessly plod along for a while and then eventually mercifully end. The end result is rather tedious and soul destroying !
There is more to an epic song than making it long, tossing in a lot of instruments and filling it with pseudo-intellectual lyrics. An epic song requires three things: Presence, timelessness, and emotional force. If done right an epic song doesn’t need to be complicated at all. It just needs to grab your attention, hold it and then remind you of that moment every time you hear it. So why are Coldplay shit? That question is actually surprisingly easy to answer. They have boring songs, a less-than-charismatic front man and in general lack presence. Yes but plenty of bands are like that I hear you say and so perhaps that’s the wrong question to ask !
The real question should be “Why does it matter that Coldplay are shit ? ” The answer is, “It shouldn’t but it does because the music industry was desperate to find a new band to plug in to a gap that U2 and Oasis weren’t exactly filling any more “. U2 and Oasis possessed those intangibles that create greatness. Coldplay never did and never will. Simply anointing them the next big thing on the British music scene was never going to change that now was it !! A few flashing wristbands and lasers does not mask boring piano centred drawn out dross ! :)

I clean the windows of a guy who is one of his mates and he told me he is more than happy collecting a wage for what he does ! He also told me that he doesn’t hanker for 1st team football either !

Looks a bit like a younger Kim Wilde !
