Coldplay. A band for 14 year old schoolgirls. Sound like prog? I think not.

Yeah I agree with everyone else so far. They're a good pop/rock band but not prog. NetsNJFan is absolutely right. If this sight keeps adding bands that aren't really prog they might as well just call it RockArchives.com.

I cant believe this crap. If Coldplay deserves to be in the progarchives why
not Deep Purple or Simple Minds. We had this conversation in recent
posts. I dont want to ear it again Mr.  go to your bed this instance

Don't you see irony?, this lad is doing a good sarcasm about how easily non-prog bands enter to prog archives, If I understand as this, I agree with wtmoore.

It is obtuse to consider Coldplay prog, let alone a good band. They are nothing like Radiohead.
Coldplay are a dull, drab, whining little band. The
vocals are dreadful and the music totally uninteresting. They are
a success because of the marketing machine. If people delved
deeper they would find a whole host of bands who do the "coldplay"
thing a thousand times better. Check out The Gloria Record for
instance.
If we, prog listeners, just accepted what was thrown at us by the
marketeers of the major labels we would all be listening to cr*p and
wouldn't have discovered the really interesting music this genre has to
offer. So why do this with mainstream pop?

Plus I find them to be simply sloppy and painful to watch live.

Their music is catchy and their lyrics are ok too, but it shouldnt be in progarchives.
Its a good band IMO

Coldplay should not be put here, It's not a good band and it doesn't resemble radiohead in any way

They grow on me with each single and each album. They're not bad. I like their lyrics and their compositions, although simple are polished and rich in melody.
Someone said they were a band for 14 year old girls, but to be honest I'm not aware of anyone under 28 or so, liking them. They seem to be the sort of band that lovey dovey middle class couples go and see together; or a token guitar band for people who dont normally listern to guitar based music.
They're one of the better mainstream acts around at the moment, but they have no place here IMO..

Borealis recently said that SOAD was for 13 year old kids ... doesn't make sense to me, neither with SOAD nor Coldplay.

How is that relevant here? Borealis has made no mention of 13 yrs old kids in regard to coldplay?

Coldplay and SOAD have in common that they are not bands for kids. So, both comments have in common that they don't reflect the situation in the real world.
Not every band that makes video clips and is played on MTV is for kids.
