Re: Which Do You Prefer?

Radiohead created the template for Coldplay to popify and sweeten up for the masses. Getting a singer who doesn't look like a crack baby starting into a bright light was the first step.

Radiohead is by far a better band and has a much better catalog of work overall. If you like the pop-ballads that Coldplay produces, then more power to you... but I'll take "Pyramid Song" over any of their stuff in a second. My favorite Radiohead stuff is from the Kid A/Insomniac sessions, though OK Computer is obviously a classic album of the 90's with tons of great songs.

I haven't checked for them much recently (too busy listening to hip-hop and older stuff) but I saw a live show on Music HD the other day that reminded me why I listened to them so much. It was basically "In Rainbows" performed live with a few other songs thrown in... Thom Yorke's voice is so un****witable, even in a live setting... have no idea how all that sound comes out of that wormy little bastard.
