obv it's just a matter of taste and opinion. I personally hate 95% of their music. I think they have like 3 good songs, and then the rest is boring as hell.
Edit: the overrated part comes from the fact that their music is SOOO boring yet they are so popular

Yes indeed it's all very personal. I am by no means a fan...was just curious. I thought the whole mellow/chill (one might say boring, repetitive) concept was their thing, their claim to fame. I can understand your sentiment, as I rarely find myself actively listening to their music when it's on.

interesting because in my experience they are frequently the butt-end of jokes about pop music and used as a scapegoat/example of how music is terrible. which i must say is a silly choice as an example because they're part of a small list of bands that get radio play who aren't terrible.

They're good, but they're dull. Still, some of their songs are great.

In a recent interview on the Colbert Report, Chris Martin smoothly brushed off jibes about Coldplay’s tendency to “reference” other artists with the simple quip: “We may not be as good musicians as Radiohead, but we are much better looking”.

coldplay and nickelback aren't even really from different time periods, and people have been hating on both since they started.
But even coldplay disagrees with you bikes. rightly so.

Most perfect performance of anything ever. Just check the guitar from 2.40 to 3.25 for example of awesomeness.

Idiot. I was going to stay out of this thread since I don't like Coldplay, but then I read that statement from someone who must have aids of the ears.
Coldplay are fucking dreadful. Sure, it's melodic and tuneful, but it lacks imagination and is just plain fucking dreary. They're marginally better than Oasis. Radiohead, on the other hand, are easily the best English band since the Who, Muse being the only band that is anywhere near them, though Muse have gone a bit pants in recent years.
I have seen Coldplay, and they're far from the worst band I've seen, but good grief, better than Radiohead? That's like saying ethanol and urine is better than beer.

I guess I was bit harsh there. Let me at least contribute in a positive fashion too, by posting the one and only song of theirs I do like. Bikes already linked it, so have a live version... Yellow

Coldplay and Oasis did one great album then went shit.
U2 have done some pretty good albums over the years. Helped by the fact they have a great guitarist.

The Edge is far from a great guitarist. He's unique but not in an upper echelon with respect to skill.
