Defaming the name of Coldplay is easy
For example, I'm currently listening to Iron Maiden, a legendary and long-lasting heavy metal band who kept a fresh sound and loyal fans over twenty plus albums, unlike some bland, derivative musical products that attract legions of young and feckless fans through the power of advertising and a totally inoffensive formulaic approach, for example Coldplay. Looking back through my audioscrobbler list, I see that before Maiden I was listening to Type O Negative, a band whose effective and tasteful use of keyboards to compliment and enhance the thrust of their music sits at odds with the biege-tinted tingling pianos that drown the music of bands like, for example, Coldplay. Before them it was Japanese experimental rocker Yasushi Ishii. The talent and innovation of this almost entirely unknown artist, skipping easily between the diverse genres of punk, jazz, electronics and alternative rock, throws into stark relief the bland, repetitive, uninteresting music of mainstream artists such as Coldplay.
And so on. And so forth.
sp2:
Yeah, pretty much.

--- Quote from: sp2 ---We're not all going to suddenly say, for your benefit alone, "Oh damn. Coldplay makes such good music. I am glad that they are your favorite band." If you take a short peek through the "The List" thread Jeph started up, you'll see a startling trend. You're the only person in that thread to call Coldplay "good." 7 people posted, before me, that Coldplay was awful. Shit, the first one to post that Coldplay is awful was Jeph.

Look, for one thing I never said that you were the sole source of this at all. You're a primary source, granted, but I never said you were the only one. Also, I would NEVER expect ANYONE to change their music tastes for my sake; who would be enough of a dumass to change their own opinions for the sake of one person? As for Jeph's List thread, I've known for a long time that Jeph despises Coldplay, and that's perfectly fine with me. I respect his tastes. Hell, I respect anybody's taste in music. What I'm finding aggravating is that people are going out of their way to bring up their dislike of one single group.
You've heard my opinion on the matter, and that's all you need to hear; I just wanted to let you know that you were misinterpreting my comments. And, in light of that I have done a fine job of beating this argument to death and back to life again through several threads, and probably annoyed several people in the process, I shall now retire. There really isn't much of a point for me to continue.

The baby jesus is too busy mackin' it up with the ladies and skydiving to be worried about music. The baby jesus is a pimp masta. He dont need no stinkin' internetz!
Also: SHUT UP, THE BOTH OF YOU!

Baby Jesus is a baby. Crying is what babies do. Also baby Jesus misses the good old days when it was less internets and whining about bad music and more nailing people to crosses and feeding them to lions.
