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

Earl of Gothington Manor (Bimble), Thursday, 16 April 2009 14:03 (seventeen years ago)

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.

akm, Thursday, 16 April 2009 14:13 (seventeen years ago)

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.

Earl of Gothington Manor (Bimble), Thursday, 16 April 2009 14:17 (seventeen years ago)

oh man

Young Chizzy (country matters), Thursday, 16 April 2009 14:20 (seventeen years ago)

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

NoTimeBeforeTime, Thursday, 16 April 2009 14:21 (seventeen years ago)

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

Young Chizzy (country matters), Thursday, 16 April 2009 14:23 (seventeen years ago)

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.

lil waynes babymama (musically), Thursday, 16 April 2009 14:25 (seventeen years ago)

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.

pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Thursday, 16 April 2009 14:31 (seventeen years ago)

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

state of the world today, Thursday, 16 April 2009 14:33 (seventeen years ago)

Yellow is so not Coldplay's best song.

Sickamous Mouthall (Scik Mouthy), Thursday, 16 April 2009 14:35 (seventeen years ago)

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

Sickamous Mouthall (Scik Mouthy), Thursday, 16 April 2009 14:35 (seventeen years ago)

well it's the only one i liked

pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Thursday, 16 April 2009 14:36 (seventeen years ago)

Both awful but oasis better by a country mile.

Prince of Persia (Ed), Thursday, 16 April 2009 15:07 (seventeen years ago)

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

Enormous Epic (Matt DC), Thursday, 16 April 2009 15:09 (seventeen years ago)

Thought long and hard then voted Sug Ban.

Pat Phoenix Wright, Messageboard Attorney (Noodle Vague), Thursday, 16 April 2009 15:10 (seventeen years ago)

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

The Unbearable Skegness of Being (NickB), Thursday, 16 April 2009 15:10 (seventeen years ago)

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.

Enormous Epic (Matt DC), Thursday, 16 April 2009 15:12 (seventeen years ago)

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

Old Big 'OOS (AKA the Cupwinner) (darraghmac), Thursday, 16 April 2009 15:13 (seventeen years ago)

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

Old Big 'OOS (AKA the Cupwinner) (darraghmac), Thursday, 16 April 2009 15:14 (seventeen years ago)

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.

Pat Phoenix Wright, Messageboard Attorney (Noodle Vague), Thursday, 16 April 2009 15:14 (seventeen years ago)

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.

FREE DOM AND ETHAN (special guest stars mark bronson), Thursday, 16 April 2009 15:14 (seventeen years ago)

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

Old Big 'OOS (AKA the Cupwinner) (darraghmac), Thursday, 16 April 2009 15:15 (seventeen years ago)

like Keane?

pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Thursday, 16 April 2009 15:15 (seventeen years ago)

Snow Patrol?

pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Thursday, 16 April 2009 15:16 (seventeen years ago)

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.

Old Big 'OOS (AKA the Cupwinner) (darraghmac), Thursday, 16 April 2009 15:17 (seventeen years ago)

radiohead, frinstance

Old Big 'OOS (AKA the Cupwinner) (darraghmac), Thursday, 16 April 2009 15:17 (seventeen years ago)

It's the new Rockism, dude.

Pat Phoenix Wright, Messageboard Attorney (Noodle Vague), Thursday, 16 April 2009 15:17 (seventeen years ago)

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?

ZS1983 (Z S), Thursday, 16 April 2009 15:19 (seventeen years ago)

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

Old Big 'OOS (AKA the Cupwinner) (darraghmac), Thursday, 16 April 2009 15:19 (seventeen years ago)

depends on the oasis track xposts

Old Big 'OOS (AKA the Cupwinner) (darraghmac), Thursday, 16 April 2009 15:20 (seventeen years ago)

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.

ZS1983 (Z S), Thursday, 16 April 2009 15:20 (seventeen years ago)

Do Coldplay have stans?

Pat Phoenix Wright, Messageboard Attorney (Noodle Vague), Thursday, 16 April 2009 15:23 (seventeen years ago)

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.

Sickamous Mouthall (Scik Mouthy), Thursday, 16 April 2009 15:24 (seventeen years ago)

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.

ZS1983 (Z S), Thursday, 16 April 2009 15:24 (seventeen years ago)

Oasis

Sacco, Vanzetti, Passantino... (Tom D.), Thursday, 16 April 2009 15:25 (seventeen years ago)

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

pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Thursday, 16 April 2009 15:26 (seventeen years ago)

"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.

Pat Phoenix Wright, Messageboard Attorney (Noodle Vague), Thursday, 16 April 2009 15:26 (seventeen years ago)

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

Old Big 'OOS (AKA the Cupwinner) (darraghmac), Thursday, 16 April 2009 15:27 (seventeen years ago)

Oasis by a hair.

Décidément, on ne sait plus faire les miroirs (Michael White), Thursday, 16 April 2009 15:27 (seventeen years ago)

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.

Enormous Epic (Matt DC), Thursday, 16 April 2009 15:28 (seventeen years ago)

coldplay by a long way, wtf dudes

the most naturally gifted poster of his generation (cozwn), Thursday, 16 April 2009 15:28 (seventeen years ago)

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?

Enormous Epic (Matt DC), Thursday, 16 April 2009 15:29 (seventeen years ago)

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

Old Big 'OOS (AKA the Cupwinner) (darraghmac), Thursday, 16 April 2009 15:30 (seventeen years ago)

I can see them outselling Oasis but not Coldplay.

pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Thursday, 16 April 2009 15:30 (seventeen years ago)

Old Big 'OOS (AKA the Cupwinner) (darraghmac), Thursday, 16 April 2009 15:32 (seventeen years ago)

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

Pat Phoenix Wright, Messageboard Attorney (Noodle Vague), Thursday, 16 April 2009 15:33 (seventeen years ago)

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

Just one thing I was thinking about as I was getting on the copter (J0hn D.), Thursday, 16 April 2009 15:35 (seventeen years ago)

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

Pat Phoenix Wright, Messageboard Attorney (Noodle Vague), Thursday, 16 April 2009 15:35 (seventeen years ago)

and oasis?

pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Thursday, 16 April 2009 15:37 (seventeen years ago)

pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Thursday, 16 April 2009 15:38 (seventeen years ago)

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

Old Big 'OOS (AKA the Cupwinner) (darraghmac), Thursday, 16 April 2009 15:38 (seventeen years ago)

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.

mark e, Thursday, 16 April 2009 15:39 (seventeen years ago)

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.

Pat Phoenix Wright, Messageboard Attorney (Noodle Vague), Thursday, 16 April 2009 15:40 (seventeen years ago)

do you ever own any albums by oasis or coldplay?

pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Thursday, 16 April 2009 15:59 (seventeen years ago)

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

Sickamous Mouthall (Scik Mouthy), Thursday, 16 April 2009 16:01 (seventeen years ago)

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.

Pat Phoenix Wright, Messageboard Attorney (Noodle Vague), Thursday, 16 April 2009 16:03 (seventeen years ago)

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.

Young Chizzy (country matters), Thursday, 16 April 2009 16:06 (seventeen years ago)

be here now. be here now.

Old Big 'OOS (AKA the Cupwinner) (darraghmac), Thursday, 16 April 2009 16:07 (seventeen years ago)

Snore Patrol vs coldgay

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

Young Chizzy (country matters), Thursday, 16 April 2009 16:10 (seventeen years ago)

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.

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.

Pat Phoenix Wright, Messageboard Attorney (Noodle Vague), Thursday, 16 April 2009 16:15 (seventeen years ago)

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

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

Young Chizzy (country matters), Thursday, 16 April 2009 22:36 (seventeen years ago)

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

Old Big 'OOS (AKA the Cupwinner) (darraghmac), Thursday, 16 April 2009 22:39 (seventeen years ago)

Young Chizzy (country matters), Monday, 20 April 2009 17:32 (seventeen years ago)

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.

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.

Geir Hongro, Monday, 20 April 2009 19:45 (seventeen years ago)

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.

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.

pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Thursday, 23 April 2009 21:37 (seventeen years ago)

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

pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Thursday, 23 April 2009 21:37 (seventeen years ago)

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.

Geir Hongro, Thursday, 23 April 2009 21:38 (seventeen years ago)

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

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.
