I like them all. Muse is the best, followed by Coldplay. Even radiohead has a lot of ingenious songs though.
I suppose their main similarity is they all have a singer who makes it masculine to sound like a girl. Wink

Radiohead is amazing, Muse is decent, but Coldplay is very average/boring

Seem to have missed this thread when it was made.  Radiohead by miles, OK Computer would be in an all time favourite album list for me quite comfortably which I can't say about the other two.  But...

I actually like Coldplay, but in these pages this feels like I am admitting to unspeakable sex crimes.  I cannot understand why they elicit such strongly negative opinions (Coldplay, that is - not the unspeakable...erm..).  They are constantly being accused of being bland and wet, but to my ears they are far more melodically inventive than the likes of say...Journey, Boston, Styx or countless other middle-of-the-road, easy-on-the-ear rock bands - many of whom are quite highly rated on this website.  'The Scientist' is a great track! And Viva La Vida has some genuinely progressive moments.  I also like Chris Martin's voice - I think its brittle quality conveys far more genuine feeling and emotion than old foghorn LaBrie for instance.


Yep, I am not even all that familiar with Coldplay but I agree with a lot of what you said.  I don't really get how the same people who heap praises on the voice of Gabriel or Hodgson (or Steven Wilson for a modern example) would HATE Martin's voice so much because it's broadly the same kind of high pitched sentimental British singing.  Eminently preferable to La Brie for me, not that that's saying much coming from me. LOL Yeah, I am definitely more sympathetic to them than middle of the road rock or, eek, 80s pop metal.  Their arrangements show a semblance of change from song to song whereas it's a bit difficult  for me to get super excited about the macho buffalo bellows dumb lyrics-obligatory ear piercing tasteless shred guitar solo checks in - buffalo boy returns routine now that I have heard it more times than I could care to mention.  On similar lines, I am relatively sympathetic to U2 though once again I am not well versed with their material.  Even if they are not as inventive as Radiohead, at least they try.  I heard Viva La Vida for the first time on a flight trip where it was part of the music catalogue in the in flight entertainment.  It was a pleasant surprise and I was far from bored.  Meant to return to it but somehow lost track.

What an excellent poll! Three of my all time favorite bands! I'm going with Radiohead because they speak to me the most and they'll always be my #1. Coldplay and Muse tie for a close 2nd.

I gave my vote to Muse. I am not crazy for any ot them, but at least Muse did some very good easy listening album, and probably are the most proggie of the three. I really don't understand why so many here like Radiohead; Ok computer was ok, and just the only one I can listen without falling to sleep; I rather prefer the "pop prog" of Viva la Vida than all the Radiohead's discography...Unhappy

Of course I'm going to say Radiohead. Kid A and King of Limbs are two of my favorite albums of all time.

I like some songs of Muse, Radiohead and i only enjoyed Cold Play for a couple of months. They are all very different kind of bands, Radiohead being a more experimental prog, Muse is much a mix of classical and pop elements, as for Coldplay, they have a more predictable sound that doesn't appeal to me. Right now i would pick Muse.

Muse for me. Those guys certainly have a big talent, and their music is usually pretty eclectic, melodic and enjoyable.

Radiohead are very experimental, but I surely listen to them less oftenly than to Muse.

Though I'm not familiar with Coldplay.

I voted Radiohead...but Muse would be a close second...Coldplay would not even rate with me these days, although I think they have a few cool songs.

Radiohead is probably a better band but I prefer Muse, only because of their amazing output: Origin of Symmetry and Absolution. 
Radiohead are second and I dig their 90's albums The Bends and OK Computer and don't care for anything they realeased after that. 
Coldplay don't belong in the discussion.

I'll take Radiohead but I'd rather not state my opinions of the other two. 
Anyway Johnny Greenwood is a classical composer too, which gives him a huge advantage for me (even if he's not even on my list of top 50 classical composers) 
Classical music isn't dead, it's more alive than it's ever been. It's just not on MTV.

I've heard some Coldplay but I'd be more entertained watching paint dry while eating dry wheat toast.

No vote.
