Coldplay Rules!

[REDVAN]

I've disliked Coldplay's music ever since they started years ago. I like that genre of music, generally, but there's something about Coldplay that is just too boring for me.

Although, I like Nickelback's older stuff, so take my opinion with a grain of salt (as everyone always does, I am sure)

Yeah, Seb. Now lay off or I'll punch you in the face!

I've always had the goal to gain an appreciation of as many types of music as possible, and I find that to some extent it is possible to alter your musical biases by changing your mood, listening habits, peer group and other parts of your environment while listening. At some point, though, you just like what you like. No internet argument is going to change that.

Very reasonable. I really like Coldplay but understand that not everyone does. All I ask is that people listen to them with an open mind and give it a fair chance rather than be outright dismissive of them and the people who like them. Different strokes for different folks.

Im not a huge coldplay fan but i was at the concert in calgary and absolutely loved it. Chris Martin brings so much energy to the stage its hard not to get into it. Pretty cool acoustic set at the opposite end of the dome of the stage for a couple songs. Very impressed with the so called "U2 wannabes"
