JLocke: Sorry, no, I seriously think Coldplay suck.

I
Looked at the sky
And I wondered why
Then I started to cry
 
You
Your eyes were so blue
Well what could I do
It was then that I knew
 
We
Under a tree
Why can't we be
Forever free
 
Us
Why all the fuss
*faltering* .... on  a train or a bus?....
Gaping sockets ooze pus.,..

Radiohead is rather boring and Muse is annoying with their high-pitched vocals.

I disagree, but it's nice to see a different opinion once in a while.

What are you apologizing to me for? It's fashionable to bash pop groups on these forums, that's all I said. I could care less if you like or hate Coldplay. I don't own a single album by those guys, so I have no interest in it.

Radiohead.
 
A true example of a modern Prog band - far superior to all the pretenders (those bands who call themselves "Prog" but only sound a bit like it, or simply play something on the technical side - you know who I mean).
 
Muse had it for a while, then lost it. Between 2001-2004 they were probably the best band on the planet - and sharing Radiohead's producer, it's not surprising that comparisons were made. Stockholm Syndrome still astonishes to this day with its power.
 
I must be alone among Prog fans in actually liking Coldplay, and I think they've got better from album to album. Call me unfashionable if you like. Hell, if their most recent output was good enough for Brian Eno, it's good enough for me.
The important thing is not to stop questioning.

^no, you're not the only one here who likes Coldplay.
 
Though, unlike you, I prefer the first one the best and for me they got less consistent with each album though not necessary a worse band. Parachutes is really superb alt. rock influenced by Radiohead's early stuff.

Parachutes is a ***** album to me, but somehow after that I failed to follow them.

Radiohead, but Coldplay get doubleplusbonus points for having the leas annoying fans and by being incredibly underrated.

Parachutes is great, A Rush of Blood is half-great, X&Y has a couple ok songs and Viva La Vida is pretty great.

Muse is usually laughable.

A Rush Of Blood To The Head is easily the best Coldplay album to me but I find both of the last two insufferable.

CONCLUSION:  All three are good bands! (Except for Muse) Stern Smile

Coldplay being a distant third probably makes their "goodness" debatable at least on this forum.

Why? I don't have a problem with people disliking Muse- I barely listen to them anymore (though for me they're still the top of these 3). But a lot of people are just saying 'this band sucks', I'd just like to hear reasons and thoughts.

Close between Muse and Radiohead (exactly why Coldplay are in the same poll is a bit baffling though). My avatar might be a clue to who I voted for (or maybe not)

Not a big fan of any, but out of those 3 Muse is my favorite. Alright, like I listen from time to time.
Other two dont care for at all really.

Specifically, because their lyrics are often atrocious, belted out by a guy who can hit high notes with a usually-annoying sneer, and the music is often too pompous for it's own good.

It often has a condensed epicness feel to it that come off as tacky more often than not.

If you like these bands, you should check out Interpol as well.

I think you've just described a lot of Prog rock bands - what is the problem with a band that sounds like that again?

I prefer Muse.

I have no problems with any these bands being considered prog.
