Because he and the members took an attitude like this it gives them really diverse sound. Thom Yorke explained this saying he would switch from guitar to electronic dance type machines and piano because there was so much he could do on guitar, and he didn't know piano and the electronic stuff was really new too. First of all musically they are amazing, Throughout their career they developed such a diverse sound that no album sounds the same (also considering they switched from a heavier guitar sound to electronic). And now they are definitely one of my favorite bands. I told my friend he was stupid for liking them, then I listened to them more.and more.and more. And radiohead, the first time I listened to them I absolutely hated them, with a passion. "Shoot an apple off my head"? Could be some reference to Isaac Newton but I doubt it. The first time I listened to coldplay I loved them although their lyrics can be a bit strange. I think to really enjoy radiohead you need to listen to them for quite a while, and even then some may not like them. I'm a die hard fan of radiohead, just a wonderful group of great musicians and.interesting lyrics. What do you think? Leave a comment and tell us!Īlright holmes, here is the thing. But I know people who would beg to differ. In my opinion, it's Radiohead, hands down (although I do have concerns about some of the song's content). So who's better? That's for you to decide. Most music critics have nothing but praise to give this band, making them one of the most critically successful groups of all time. The members of Radiohead are brilliant, brilliant musicians, and they create songs that push the boundaries of the alt-rock genre into new and unexplored territory. Their eclectic mix of styles ensures that each song will never grow old, that there will always be something new to hear the next time around.
In my opinion, Radiohead far outshines Coldplay and nearly every other band on the planet. But compared to Radiohead, their music pales drastically. Coldplay earns heavy rotation on my iPod, and I would consider myself a huge fan of them. After the release of X&Y, the New York Times labeled Coldplay as " the most insufferable band of the decade". Advantage: ColdplayĬoldplay's catchy but predictable soft alt-rock has won the hearts of millions of fans the world over, but also earned the undying hatred of almost as many critics. A Wolf at the Door, Creep, and Myxomatosis). Additionally, Yorke occasionally uses strong profanity in his songs (i.e. Themes vary wildly, but focus on songs of inner loneliness and pain. Thom Yorke of Radiohead is obviously a stronger writer, but listeners may be put off by the dark undertones of most Radiohead songs. And almost all Coldplay songs have no objectionable material in them, making them into a bit of an anomaly in the modern music industry. Martin is not the strongest writer, but he does have a knack for creating a catchy, memorable lyric that sticks with the listener. Coldplay songs tend to focus on love, with an occasional venture into tales of death and other somewhat ambiguous territory. Advantage: ColdplayĬhris Martin's lyrics tend to be somewhat misty and unclear. On the other hand, Radiohead's seven studio albums ( Pablo Honey, The Bends, OK Computer, Kid A, Amnesiac, Hail to the Thief, and In Rainbows) have sold an estimated 23 million copies worldwide. Songs like Clocks, Viva la Vida, Fix you, Yellow, and The Scientist have become mainstream radio staples. Their four albums, Parachutes, A Rush of Blood to the Head, X&Y, and Viva la Vida, have sold a combined 30 million copies. Their meteoric rise has been unusual, a bright spot in an otherwise lackluster music industry. In a span of eight years, Coldplay has achieved worldwide fame and amassed millions of record sales. The question: Who's better, Radiohead or Coldplay? As a huge fan of both groups, I will now endeavor to compare their music, lyrics, and commercial success. This post is an extension of a conversation I had with some friends at the beach on Thursday.
