Battle Of the UK's Mega Bands: OASIS VS COLDPLAY

LOLOLOL oh my god. I don't know if I even want to go here.

coldplay doesn't have a full album as good as "definitely maybe" but they also haven't done hundreds of terrible albums in a row, so they win.

You know what, honestly? I don't even know if I can vote between them. They deserve each other. I mean I don't hate them, see, but...yeah this was pretty much a brilliant idea for a thread, imo. Two bands with rare streaks of greatness who are nevertheless pretty trivial in the end.

oh man

There are no members of Coldplay that I would like to punch in the face, so they get my vote.

yeh zackly chris martin's more the knee-to-groin type i reckon

who cares who's likable, when i turn the radio on i don't give a fuck. oasis has released some really outstanding stuff and some dross, i'm not familiar with coldplay but from what i've heard it's all MORish. for me these kinds of TS are about who was better at their peak and who i would listen to if i had the choice versus a mathematical average of their hits and misses.

aged 14 in 1995- this is relevant.

Yeah, Coldplay have always been boring apart from maybe 1 good song "yellow". Oasis had a classic 1st album and some decent songs on the next couple before falling off my radar. Coldplay annoy me more and Chris Martin annoys me more than noel liam ever did.
However it comes down to the fact that despite oasis being shit now Oasis made Definitely Maybe and Coldplay are boring shit who have always been crap.

The poll isn't about personalities, it's purely about which bands music you prefer or dislike least.

Yellow is so not Coldplay's best song.

But yeah, 16 in 1995 = don't give a fuck in 2009.

well it's the only one i liked

Both awful but oasis better by a country mile.

Holy fuck I cannot believe I am actually voting for Oasis in a poll, but I am.

Thought long and hard then voted Sug Ban.

Isn't there a cheat that lets you vote for Kula Shaker?

I also hold Yellow almost entirely responsible for the virtual elimination of rhythmic interest from British guitar pop for several years in favour of plodding midtempo 4/4 chords and that might actually be worse than any of the appalling records that Oasis and their imitators churned out.

i like yellow though! sometimes a song can only be responsible for itself in this lonely world, man.

and, even though i'm all for oasis in this, coldplay wannabe bands >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> oasis wannabe bands

I like a reasonable bit of Coldplay's output but "Yellow" is a big wet lettuce of a song. On the other hand, at least it's not Snow Patrol.

oasis in a mfkn heartbeat.

"virtual elimination of rhythmic interest from British guitar pop for several years in favour of plodding midtempo 4/4 chords"

people have blamed oasis for this to be fair. but ver play were still much worse.

uh, don't ask me to name any coldplay imitators though.

like Keane?

Snow Patrol?

is it it just accepted that any band that makes it on to the radio twice a day is a heap of shit at this stage?

snow patrol, oasis, coldplay- not exactly the apotheosis of popular culture but ffs competent guitar bands are not the worst evil in musc either.

radiohead, frinstance

It's the new Rockism, dude.

Imagine you're stuck in a car that's being driven by some guy you barely know, and he's slowly cruising by a movie theater with a long line waiting outside. The car windows are down, and the driver is blasting Oasis/Coldplay. You're in the passenger side, and since everyone standing there can mainly just see you in the car, you become sort of the representative of this car and the music blasting out of it. Which would be the lesser of two evils, Oasis or Coldplay?

oasis stans vs radiohead stans vs coldplay stans ugh now there's a poll

depends on the oasis track xposts

By the way, this situation happened to me last year when I ended up living with a moron in Boulder. He rolled down the windows and he blasted Kottonmouth Kings as random people at the gas station flipped us off.

Do Coldplay have stans?

Snow Patrol's first two albums are fucking wicked little indie record with funny songs and awesome guitar sounds; their debut was produced by Jamie Watson who engineered all Long Fin Killie's record, ffs, and had a song called Absolute Gravity on it which had a big groove and chunky guitar and some scratching on and was great, great FUN, and then their second album had a really, really beautiful song called An Olive Grove Facing The Sea on it, and a really heart-rending lone trumpet solo, and is awesome, and even the third album isn't actually that bad if you ignore Run, it's just the awful fucking target-market mush that came afterwards that's sinful. Die die die Jacknife Lee.

I knew a big Coldplay stan in high school, before the one with Clocks on it came out. So yeah, I guess they have stans, or they once did.

Oasis

I never thought I'd see the day Tom D voted Oasis in a poll

"Run" is alright, as a chorus. I like the weird backward drum noise on it, it's kind of unexpected. It's that lying down in the road song that sounds like the equivalent of a hot chocolate advert about cuddles for frustrated spinsters.

i admit that coldplay stans might be disaffected radiohead stans that couldn't take the heat of no mainstream radio play- therefore they may be harder to categorize

Oasis by a hair.

Darragh - think of them as the Didier Zokora of rock. Occasionally competent, more often than not useless and cackhanded and in the way.

One of the best lines I read about Snore Patrol* is that they know how to write a huge festival friendly anthemic ballad in the way other people know how to build a wall, which is pretty apt.

*This DJ Martian gem is more than enough to justify their existence.

coldplay by a long way, wtf dudes

I think Snore Patrol have sold more records in the UK than both Oasis and Coldplay in the last five or so years but can anyone confirm that?

who, matt? all of them or a particular band. seems harsh to label a group 'competent' and then slap them with a fuckin zokora comparison

I can see them outselling Oasis but not Coldplay.

^ was gonna say

I don't know guys, I'm wiki-ing for "Snore Patrol" and not coming up with anything.

Oasis had some good-to-great songs for about two years. Coldplay has none. Oasis wins.

shakey motm

Okay, counting the last 2 albums each Coldplay are on 8x Platinum and 3x, whereas Snow Patrol are 7x and 1x.

and oasis?

what does a coldplay fan look like

geir

and oasis?

eh, i bought a 'best of' while driving around france last year. that may well be it for sales in the past three years

oasis.
classic for a few years, bearable for more.
in fact, i've actually listened and enjoyed their last album a lot more than i ever expected given the status of the ones prior to that.

I was only answering the question posed by Matt, it's not like I give a shit who sells what really.

I don't think there's any deeper indictment of a band that, in an age where you can freely steal their music or listen to it for nothing via Youtube or that Spotify crock, one can't be arsed.

do you ever own any albums by oasis or coldplay?

9 Coldplay songs on my work computer, no Oasis songs. More Oasis songs on the iPod at home, though

I got the last Coldplay album for my Dad. I never listen to it but I like the singles when I hear them on the radio cos it's Eno I guess. I had the first couple of Oasis albums taped for me. On balance in the 09 there are definitely a bunch of Coldplay tunes I like more than Oasis.

Coldplay's album "A Rush Of Blood To The Head" has a clutch of decent tracks, I suppose (especially "Daylight", "Warning Sign" and the title-track), and I pretty much never listen to any Oasis at all these days barring the odd track from "Be Here Now" when I want a dose of crappy thudding sonic maximalism. Tough to choose. Bad music aplenty.

be here now. be here now.

be here now

Snore Patrol vs coldgay

c'mon it's pretty much the apotheosis of what oasis stood for, for better or for worse xp

I feel like there should be some more current guitar bands for 20-something women other than Coldplay and Snore Patrol put I can't remember any. Being a band for 20-something women rather than 20-something blokes e.g. Gaydiohead, Kasgaybian etc is a good thing btw.

Results 1 - 10 of about 41 for "colon shaker". (0.44 seconds)

Results 1 - 5 of 5 for manlovesun. (0.38 seconds)

I feel like there should be some more current guitar bands for 20-something women other than Coldplay and Snore Patrol put I can't remember any.

fleet foxes. if by women you mean laura barton.

Scouting "For Girls". Clue's in the name.

(in all seriousness, SFG are FAR more loved by women than men, and yes they truly are the worst shit ever RIP Passantino)

I haven't heard Fleet Cockses but aren't they too twee/indie to count as proper "you only get a hug with a lovely guitar ballad" pop band?

"She's so lovely / she's so lovely / she's so lovely / I'm gonna get her drunk and take advantage of her"

Too country / folk.

Women don't like music made by men with beards.

Oh-oh-oh-oh!

Scouting for Girls probly quite popular with women but surely too Nuts magazine to count here for real. Interestingly it only now occurs to me that the Hoosiers are like their plug-ugly blokeband counterpart tho so maybe you're right LJ.

I've only ever seen women with SFG on their Facebook musical interests.

Women don't like music made by men with beards.

there is some truth in this, but regretably there are some women who really let the side down.

look at us! men, talking about women! on the internet!

Someone should come up with an MOR lite-indieish band whose members are all metrosexual vampires, they'll be making out like bandits.

http://schoolnet.gov.mt/mcflymentalmalta/images/single-album%20covers/singles/transylvania%20single.jpg

Manic Street Preachers durr.

in all seriousness, SFG are FAR more loved by women than men

Super Furry Ganimals?

McFly too Grebo. Nicky Wire too metrosexual.

OK, since I'm listening to it right now, I'd even go as far as to say that the second half of "A Rush Of Blood To The Head" is "quite strong", were it but for the fact that "Green Eyes" exists like some sort of horrific reminder that they're genuinely fucking evil cockfarmers.

What about that Placebo/Mansun/King Adora aesthetic amirite

The (man)Feeling? (if by '20-something women' you accidentally meant my mum, although my sister probably likes them as well), not that anyone bought their 2nd album. (G)A(sh)thlete? Where are the Travis's of yesteryear?

Over easter I'd turn on tv and E4 seemed to be showing some Radio1 Roadshow-style 'event' and it was always either the Hoosiers or SFG. Both awful. Both have zany moustachioed bass-player.

xpost

Nah, too Goth. You've gots to be Sunday-evening-on-BBC1-drama-featuring-some-dude-who-used-to-be-in-Eastenders pleasant but with a Bassist who looks like he'd shag owt after 3 cider and blacks.

Athlete OTM. That's what I'm talking about.

So you basically mean "bedwetter"

What sort of person likes a stereophonics?

Radiohead were one of those bands for about 2 tracks towards the beginning of The Bends

oh shit nickb oh shit oh shit YES nailed it

Dude this whole scene basically derives from The Bends

You've gots to be Sunday-evening-on-BBC1-drama-featuring-some-dude-who-used-to-be-in-Eastenders pleasant but with a Bassist who looks like he'd shag owt after 3 cider and blacks yeah I immediately thought Stereophonics.

There should really be a band called Bedwetter... probably is... in Camden. Failing that one of those grime chaps.

Not keen on what this says about me and the bassist from teh Stereophonics.

http://www.uktransplant.org.uk/ukt/i/j/photos/newsroom/hi-res/2007/richard_jones2.JPG

I'd hit it

With a shovel?

NV I'm not gonna launch into my "High And Dry" rant AGAIN but srsly that one song there is probably one of the 5 most damaging songs in the history of British music, and EASILY one of my top 10 most hated tracks by anyone ever

See I like that song tho :)

Can we call this stuff Heat Rock? I don't hate it as a genre at all.

It's more the principle of what it stands for/was responsible for creating...but hey, chacun a son gout and all that

*deletes all his VdGG MP3 files, sobs, takes a sledgehammer to Ultrasound discs*

dammit even my display name...one of yours :(

Heat Rock = Mondeo Pop for Laydeeez

Hahaha you're just not old enough to appreciate a good old soppy bedwetter ballad yet dude.

I dunno, I've just been semi-praising the second half of a Coldplay record

Also, OK Rock is a more appropriate term than Heat Rock

OK Rock might work. 10 years ago I'd've used Company but I'm out of the loop nowadays.

Heat Rock is basically a good name for XTRMNTR-era Primal Scream

Possibly need a new Taxonomy of Christ-Awful Britishes Sub-Indie Wank thread for this.

I'll stick with Record Collection Rock for any era of Primal Scream

Heat Rock is basically a good name for XTRMNTR-era Primal Scream

Hoots Rock

Or Och Aye the Noo Wave

I'm just going to refer to everything as Hollyoakscore from now on and hope it catches on.

Skinscore if it's "edgy"

I actually kept an Oasis CD for a few months once. So them.

if you can get best how stupid oasis is, they've got some pretty dope tracks on those first two albums. coldplay is at best totally inoffensive albeit extremely skilled. oasis is vinnie jones, coldplay is beckham.

radiohead is bruce grobelaar- intentionally shit, but not actually all that good anyway

blur- paul gascoigne's knackers?

Stereophonics - Mickey Thomas

Actually Radiohead ought to be Phil Neville. You never see him and Thom Yorke in the same room together, know what I'm saying?

Echobelly - Steve Stone

What sort of person likes a stereophonics?

a stupid cunt with no taste

i turned into alex in nyc there

lol was gonna say but don't think Alex would've dropped the c-bomb

im sure he would agree with me

who will Geir pick is what I want to know.

Geir will pick Coldplay I think.

But I'd pick Oasis, plenty of OTMs above from Matt DC on this subject.

Oasis are closer to his beloved Beatles though (oasis getting into the beatles so much was their creative downfall)

not a big fan of either but oasis are pretty hilarious in interviews and have some joints you just can't front on.

"clocks" by coldplay is awesome though

coldplay def

lol bimble

neither of these bands is relevant right now, but oasis made some very good music a million years ago

let me tell you something, lots of my female friends (in the US, surprisingly) are buttcrazy in love with Kings of Leon. I'm not really familiar with their newer stuff, I've heard Sex on Fire and use Somebody and wasn't terribly offended or impressed, but since they shaved and got haircuts and otherwise unhippified themselves the ladies have been their biggest fans.

^ seriously, gf so into KoL right now, but she's always loved dudes voice. less 'molly's chambers' and 'fans' i can totally live without them tbh.

Yeah, same thing over here with Kings of Leon, they are now officially OK Rock.

This is just about lathering yr vocal with plenty of hurt and vulnerable, really, isn't it?

is this all something to do with being able to perform live, i wonder. all of these bands can do the festival, whereas a lot of pop acts and more lauded of-the-minute groups frankly suck outside a studio.

This is just about lathering yr vocal with plenty of hurt and vulnerable, really, isn't it?

except not inna JG Thirlwell style

actually, I'll put this one out there, if there are any massive Foetus fans out there who are single, female, and roughly my age, I would like to meet you plz

also darraghmac notm imo

we won't fall out over it.

don't think i can SB you again anyway

joeks etc

like martin jol's hamburg, i stagger through, battered but not broken

i mean, most of these girly soppy OK Rock bands put on a wholly functional live show where songs are performed as the audience expect and where surprises come in the form of maybe a track from the first album getting rolled out...they have enough musical chops to knock out these songs and get a reaction, but they're never going to set a stage alight

bands with genuinely incendiary liveshows are not so popular amongst casual chart listeners, but are way more popular with the indie crowd, who have probably heard about them via myspace or via blogs. these bands have more to prove and sound like it too. the OK Rock crowd don't have anything to prove because they've sold a fuckton of records

i guess more people go to gigs to hear the song the way they liked it in the first place.

and then you have Muse who are pretty much all of the above rolled into one giant contradictory art-bedwetter-rock-indie-chart-virtuoso-prog-pop-platinum mess

and yeah, that's right, especially when you're talking about the more casual listener, they don't wanna hear "Fix You" with a 12-minute krautrock raga in the middle

Nobody wants to hear that.

muse are the best live show i've caught this year, but there you go.

well my point entirely! they're the antithesis to my claims

Chris Martin's Fur Immer

well this person can't even tell the difference between Oasis and Coldplay, so take that, poll.

http://i331.photobucket.com/albums/l442/acrobins/plebs.png

they've never better the 1864 overture imo

Hollyoakscore it is.

I don't know guys, I'm wiki-ing for "Snore Patrol" and not coming up with anything.

Cold Patrol. Snowplay. etc etc

I like Heat Rock more than OK Rock. Can we go back to calling it Heat Rock?

ZS's scenario about being in a car and forced to represent the music being played made me realize I should probably vote for Oasis in this poll.

But in general, this:
ENJOY THE SAMEOCRACY, SHEEPLE!

What thread did that come from anyway?

no idea

Sure, Chris Martin may have met Brian Eno once but I'd rather snort coke have a pint with Noel Gallagher, Esq. any day of the week.

but who would you rather hear an album by if you had to choose?

<but who would you rather hear an album by if you had to choose?>

I like to avoid Coldplay at all costs

Sure, Chris Martin may have met Brian Eno once but I'd rather snort coke have a pint with Noel Gallagher, Esq. any day of the week.

I am not a huge fan of Oasis's music, but Noel is a fun/funny guy in person. Martin seems insufferable.

martin seems harmless enough, but yeah pints with him would be pints of misery and dogoodery and i like my dogoodery in short glasses.

they are both complete cnuts for failing to inject the humour they have both demonstrated off stage/record onto them and should not be allowed out of pubs

Muse always seem to me to be an excuse for Mondeo Pop/ Holyoakscore fans to listen to heavy metal.

what is holyoake?

yt ys ye foreste moste wilde syr

i don't speak english?

Muse, at least on their 2nd and 3rd albums, are/were a pretty good outfit imo

Kneejerk answer = I would rather hang than listen to either (OK, not really, but you know what I mean)

If I think of the worst records by either band, in Coldplay's case it's "Fix You", which is horrible turgid slop. In Oasis' case though, it's either "wonderwall", "all around the world", or especially "don't look back in anger", well they are just so much worse.... "don't look back in anger" I think might actually be the worst record ever released? To put it in terms of torture, which they all are, "fix you" is like an hour of bastinado followed by an hour on the rack, whereas "don't look back in anger" is like being fed feet first through a bacon slicer while someone sticks little slivers of sharp bone under your fingernails, while being forced to watch the family pet being mutilated by a madman with a blowtorch.

So, I voted "for" coldplay.

shame on you pash!

Go listen to "don't look back in anger" and tell me I'm wrong.

its no worse than any coldplay song

RONG it is worse than any song recorded by anyone, ever.

Actually, really, most of the time coldplay aren't much more to me than very very boring. I can't recall a single one of their tunes off the top of my head.

being boring or bland is a crime

i still hold that oasis wins this easy for their antics on that mtv unplugged thing back in the day and for their interviews

Wibbling Rivalry wins this poll for Oasis without even considering the music.

yah that is super funny

also:

t/s: starting a fake fight with jay-z vs. being jay-z's token rock friend

Coldplay have already released 4 perfect albums, while it seems Oasis stopped at 2 ("Morning Glory" and "Standing On The Shoulder Of Giants", that is). Plus Chris Martin has a less annoying voice and Coldplay have a generally less annoying wall of guitars and a much higher percentage of big ballads. So this is Coldplay all the way - no competition. Even though "Morning Glory" is up there with their best albums.

Those are all absolutely fantastic songs, and among the best music of the past 20 years.

Geir, I know it's pointless saying this to you, but Definitely Maybe is the Oasis masterpiece, not Morning Glory, and certainly not Standing.. (the album I jumped off the Oasis bus)

Coldplay have not released any good or great albums.
Ballads generally suck.

Truthbomb.

also liam's annoying voice is the BEST thing about oasis, not the worst thing.

geir you don't even like the shit you like the right way

was
his voice is shot now (still preferable to chris martin's though)

oasis can occasionally get a little glammy and loud and obnoxious, coldplay reminds me of the music they pipe into cineplexes during the pre-credits slideshow of trivia questions and pepsi ads.

Ballads generally suck.

This is seriously wrong. Oasis have always been at their best when turning off those annoying guitar amps, sung instead of scream, and trying to sound more like Beatles than Sex Pistols.

oasis can occasionally get a little glammy and loud and obnoxious

But they are much better when they are not.

Liam's voice is one of the WORST things about Oasis ... just one of many reasons why "Don't Look Back In Anger" is Oasis' best single.

On the 1st album Liam's voice was great.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

just one of many reasons why "Don't Look Back In Anger" is Oasis' best single.

dont tell pashmina that.

Oasis, for their brilliant initial run of singles/b-sides: Supersonic-Whatever.

standing on the shoulders of giants? seriously?

not even as good as be here now, imo

I'd agree

Be Here Now is still better than every album that came after it.

of the ones that i even listened to , yeah.

early oasistans

better than an oasisgeir i suppose

Hmm. Neither band means anything to me now but I'll go with Oasis because from those first two LPs (and the related singles) I could find at least one album's worth of really great material whereas Coldplay have maybe three likeable songs at best.

Disagree with Geir that the second Oasis album is their classic but I do think the drop in quality from DM has been overstated by some (particularly Noel himself) - both are flawed records with flashes of brilliance.

Acquiesce is a far far far better song than Chris Martin could even write in his dreams.

The early Oasis b-sides are better than anything Coldplay could muster.

listening to wibbling rivalry now...so awesome

"Shut the feck up - this lot thinks it's rock n' roll to get thrown off a ferry like a buncha scouse shleppers"

I actually own that wibbling rivalry 7". Dont suppose it's worth anything?

standing on the shoulders of giants? seriously?

By far their most underrated album. Oasis fans hate it because it contains too many ballads, but that is exactly why I love it, because 90 per cent of the Oasis songs I love are big anthemic ballads.

which are by far their worst songs

infact ballads tend to be the worst thing by any act. Especially big anthemic rock ballads.

Obviously not. Anthemic ballads is one of the best kind of songs that has ever existed. Nothing quite like huge singalong qualities. That is the kind of songs that survive because they can be sung by school classes, choirs etc. Exactly the kind of song the world needs much more of.

And that is exactly why Coldplay are even better than Oasis too.

I mean, just like "Yesterday" and "Michell" and "Hey Jude" and "Let It Be" have those obvious qualities.

oasis had real simple singsong melodies that would be way more appropriate for a choir IMO

who knew a Coldplay v Oasis thread could yield such dumb opinions

Geir do you ever go to concerts to join in with these great anthemic songs everyone can sing along to?

Langley School Music Project All-Stars Feat. Geir Hongro

Lyle Langley School Music Project All-Stars Feat. Geir Hongro

who dat?

Discouting the most recent album because it's the only one I've never been forced to listen to and therefore haven't listened to, Coldplay are practically the opposite of anthemic. They're bland, forgettable, and unemotive. I can't really imagine any group of people anywhere other than a Coldplay concert having a singalong to any of their songs. When I try to, it bores and depresses me. Just like Coldplay does.

Singalong is a good thing. Obviously you guys judge music from the wrong criteria. Singalong is my number one, which is why Coldplay are great (and rap sucks)

Singalong music is fine by me but the fact is there are thousands of songs I'd rather sing along to than anything by Coldplay.

obviously you guys judge music by the wrong criteria- first time i've ever really 'got' the geir fuss.

Geirbot alert, A+ trolling.

Is he really trolling since he does genuinely believe in what he's saying?

Aye, we've had this discussion before. Geir's not a troll in the way I understand the word. He's just fucking insane.

Maybe not trolling, but could certainly have been written by a robot convinced of the melodic superiority of Coldplay.

is there any other way?
