Echo & the Bunnymen. Now that's what I mean about talent, They never ripped anyone off. Faith, up against your will, you will wait until...you give yourself to him. Through the thick & thin. Now that is TALENT! Get the cd of songs to learn & sing & then tell me Coldplays better. Echo, different, better. Yes! Echo & the Bunnymen. Now that’s what I mean about talent, They never ripped anyone off.

I was born and raised in a family of musicians. I'll give you one single example : my mother. She plays the classical guitar and the harp. If that's not enough for you than I'm afraid I can't help you much more. As for a very brief overview my musical tastes in classical music: I'm an enormous Beethoven listener. For the symphonies, I'm definitely a Furtwangler lover and not a Von Karajan fan at all. Regarding the contemporary conductors, I am unconditionnally betwitched by Herreweghe's work. That's just a tiny piece out of my personal musical record. I do not need you to IM me and I have no interest at all in hearing someone blame people's tastes. Although I am personnally no U2 fan at all, I have no problems admitting that they are/were amazing. I don't click particularly with their music with one or two exceptions. That's a fact. I don't let my personal judgment step onto the side of "who's-talented-who's-not". The Coldplay listeners are not (necessarily) people who have no musical background. On the contrary. If you want to appreciate music with an ear for classical harmonies, then that's fine. But don't call bands untalented so quickly. Des goûts et des couleurs, on ne discute pas. Of tastes and colours, there's no discussion. As we say in France. I agree that some music is crap but Coldplay is not untalented. Also, you only mention how much Coldplay annoys you for the musical part of their songs. Maybe you should give their lyrics a try. I am not saying you will appreciate them, but a song is still a combination of words and melody (plus arrangements etc). Nan,

Have you ever been to Britain? Lots of lovely men, to be sure, but plenty of drunken yobs as well. Check out the crowds at a football match sometime. Canadian cutie, your comment made me laugh.

Maybe that is the problem - Coldplay bashers like angry, meaningless music. I love British men; so refined, so polite. Pink Floyd used to get bashed back in the 70's. Now PF are legends - especially David Gilmore. Sorry these polite, humble & incredibly talented gentlemen offend you. Coldplay has fantastic lyrics - the words actually have meaning.

The crowd in NYC this morning to see them was enormous. But, what really struck me as add, is that the crowd was so sedate! No screams of excitement, no dancing, they were like zombies! Very weird!

Did you not play an instrument as a child? I don't get it. I just hear a U2 copycat. These tunes aren't that great, not even good. I really tried to see it. Crono just does not have the mojo going on, like his wife. Damn, am I going to have to go on IM video w/each one of you? The weekend is here, so that means everyone will be here. Catch you on monday. Please leave a list, you Coldplay fans & those who are not. I'm very curious. Please give me a lists of all of your favorite artists (including classical)so I just know it is not me.
