I used to love Coldplay but now I don't

True story.

you'll burn in hell




not really, I don't see any problem in that... maybe you'll love them again after the new album release

[winigwl]

what made you lose your love for them?

[Tnspieler1012]

Yeah, really. we shouldn't have to ask why...

[MrMagpie]

radiohead

...I still love them, but Muse is creeping up on me as #1

that's... interesting.

[MrMagpie]

No I still love lots of other bands, just not coldplay.

[Darlene_Ihnfsa]

don't know why but on the time between one album and next one, always appear a new thread like this one..

hope your coldplay love will be back with next album.

anyways there's nothing bad on that, there are periods when we prefer different artist/bands.

for me since summer best band is Placebo and i hadn't listened to Coldplay regularly during several months this year.. but now i'm back to coldplay love.

EDIT: but do you hate them now? (is the opposite of love...)

[StarsKay]

i think that you're going through one of those cycles when you discover a whole bunch of other new music that cp takes a back seat for a while. and in the meantime, you're getting inspired and touched by other music so going back to cp, particularly since there isn't any new music out lately, you find them a bit tiring.
i could be completely wrong but i don't think you don't not-love them you just love a lot of other bands right now. perhaps.

[Tnspieler1012]

I think starskay has it pretty much right. but I'm still somewhat confused. I'm a big fan of radiohead as well...but I don't see how that alone should cause you to dismiss coldplay. I guess what I'm looking for is..."Do you think radiohead and these other bands overshadow coldplay to the point where you don't think coldplay is nearly as good as you once thought? Do you like coldplay less because you've been exploring radiohead and these other bands, or is there something that's changed about coldplay themselves that's caused this switch of heart?"

Aw. That's sad.


I'm certainly not into them the way I used to be. These days I usually listen to Travis instead when I'm in a Coldplay mood. But I still love AROBTTH and Parachutes way too much to ever not like them anymore. Maybe I'm just really sentimental.

I keep them tucked away for emergencies now, because I was listening all the time for a while, and it lost something. If I stay away long enough at a time, it's fresh enough again to pull me out of my worst bad days. I've found alot of music that I love over the last 3 years or so, but nothing else that can pull me out of my deepest darkest moods quite as well.

I just hope they really rediscover themselves on the new album, and that the marketing machine that ruined their reputation on X&Y won't go into super obnoxious mode again. Nothing like having something crammed down everyone's throats to make them resent it. Coldplay's greatest strength isn't the big soaring stadium stuff; it's when they write their smaller intimate songs that make the rest of the world melt away. Stuff that can make just some music and a hot drink the perfect antidote for a wet, grey day when everything aches and the world feels like it's going to end. That's the Coldplay I still love.

Goodness, I meant to write a paragraph and came up with an essay.

[Texasluvsjonny]

That's not sad....sad is someone that has 9,000+ posts on a board of a band that they don't like. Perhaps you should leave.

[Lore]

why leave?? I mean... we don't just have the coldplay section

[Texasluvsjonny]

Why stay? Why spend your time on a site of a band you don't support? Example:I hate Oasis. I have not and never will be a member of any Oasis boards. I don't visit there. I don't hang out there. I don't read stuff there.

I have never understood people that join boards/ stay on boards of bands they don't like. There are 10 zillion message boards out there. If it's not your thing, move on.
