not prog...at all
I can strangle a canary in a tin can and it would be really original, but that wouldn't save it from sounding like utter sh*t.

I hate you all that say Coldplay suck! They don't suck, I love Coldplay. It's just sort of spacey music. They're not prog, no not at all.

Then you HAVE TO check out Elbow (if you haven't yet), their "Scattered Black and Whites" sounds like the little bro of CC and with Guy Garvey's voice it gets very gabrielic too

 

I do like Coldplay (and I am 37 and can play inside my head the whole "Gates of Delirium" to avoid the believe that I am too dull for "real" prog)

Well, I don't know Radiohead (yet) so I am not sure what makes a band "prog" in your eyes.

I can't help the feeling most people dislike Coldplay only because they are really successful

Someone hinted Pink Floyd. I hint them too. But before the "Coldplay is f...ing pop-Folks" get a heartattack leave them out

If we are at least allowed to talk about them on the non-prog part or whereever...

Coldplay is probably one of the best, or at least most interesting options to look for in mainstream music today. Even their first album, "Parachutes" had some kind of 'dark' aura that maybe got lost in the next records. But again, they are not progressive at all and thus they shouldn't be included here. I think that this is one of the cases when you can say a band is not progressive. There are other more difficult cases like Radiohead or Muse, but in the case of Coldplay the thing is clear.

I just watched Coldplay on a Tee Vee concert. If that's prog, I'm gonna grow a beard and join the Taliban.

No, it seems that more and more bands are being classifyed a prog, I think some bands shouldn't be here.

Well, after listening Radiohead's OK computer I accept, that Coldplay might be not proggie enough to be prog *shrug and sigh*

But I still think they make really nice music which might be at least something like Prog-POP.

Doesn't mean progressive to be different? And at least they are different than the whole boy/girlgroup/britney/pseudosoulwhinerstuff... and I am glad when I hear them in the radio, because I'm sick and tired of those nurseryschoolpunks and discochicks.

On normal radio you never find something like www.deliciousagony.com
