radiohead or coldplay ?

[SuperLegomaniac1]

@Danieldrylie Right!

[juanca8679]

colplay i on of the best bands ever.

i like them more

[dramaticpickles]

Both great bands, Radiohead is better. There is no point for this video to be here.

[tomallpress]

RADIOHEAD

[uthink2much]

Radiohead. Coldplay is cool, but when you hear something with such concept and beauty as a full Radiohead album, it's hard to see a pop outfit like Coldplay as superior.

[SoundLoudBand]

1. Radiohead, 2. Anothers bands form the 90's, 3. Muse, 4. T-Pac 5. Big Biggie, 6. Coldplay---- RADIOHEAD FOR LIFE!

[rmxjoint]

Radiohead is better. 1st fav: Radiohead 2nd fav. Coldplay

Radiohead is more creative, Coldplay is more accessible and solid.

I do get pissed at people criticizing Coldplay for ripping of Radiohead though and being a basic band.

Coldplay is tha shiiit.

[ColdplaynCats]

I absolutely love Coldplay....

[Dhomen]

I myself, who like them both, doesnt know, why Radiohead fans are so envious, Coldplay fans do not say bad things about Radiohead, even if they dont like them.

[Dhomen]

Radiohead is more superb, Coldplay is more euphoric. Radiohead makes you think, Coldplay makes you optimistic; Radiohead makes you doubt the human race, while Coldplay makes you believe in it. Radiohead is more professional musically, Coldplay is more emotional. The two are now far from being similar (old Coldplay could have been really close!) but they are the two bests nowadays. I believe we need the both.

[koutaa55]

*facepalm*

[redpaul79]

well, considering that radiohead are musical geniuses and true originals, whilst coldplay are lame hacks who ripped off radiohead's whole sound, i'd have to say radiohead is much better :)

[1010Beatles]

Coldplay. 

[TheLordbanjo]

why do people compare these bands.they dont sound similar if you really listen

[andre230994]

Clearly Coldplay is more popular but... Justin Biber is popular too, got the idea? Radiohead is just in another level.

[lulypupgurls]

both are great but i choose coldplay<3

[shoryuken1237]

Radiohead > all other music > coldplay

[talk45]

@marcbc I forgot to add the Roots to that list! But again, how does being well-known to rap artists somehow give you credibility? Most hip-hop/rap is horrible (with a couple of exceptions).

[talk45]

@marcbc Wow, that couldn't be further from the truth! Kanye West, Nas, Jay-Z, Common, Outkast, Lupe Fiasco and Pharrall have all sung the praises of Thom. And if you don't believe me look it up.

[Lildrummerboy50]

Oh wow... my grammar was so bad back then.

[marcbc]

@talk.

Yea, you're right. We're not talking about bieber nor gaga though. Coldplay are genius in themselves. they make great music and imo are better performers as well. Also, in terms of popularity, Chris martin is a known name in the hip hop/ r&b world due to his partnering with jay z and alicia keyes. if you say thom yourke, nobody outside the world of rock will know who that is

[toshirosega]

@marcbc BULLSHIT.

[marcbc]

Notice most people who answer radiohead always throw in an insult towards coldplay. People who answer coldplay mostly enjoy both bands. THey're both amazing. @ everyone hating on coldplay: please enlighten me with multi-platinum selling records that YOU have made.

[talk45]

@marcbc I agree with your first three statements. But I do think people confuse popularity with talent. Selling a lot of records doesn't really account for anything these days especially when so-called 'artists' such as Lady Gaga and Justin Bieber are prime examples of this achievement. And Britney Spears and N'Sync managed to do well commercially in the past.

[DramaticExtras]

They're actually my 2 favorite all-time bands. Its a hard decision.

I LOVE BOTH THE SAME!

Lets leave it at that.

[gogolplex74]

coldplay are great, but let's be honest, everyone is shit compared to Radiohead

[parasiticlittletick]

iits obvious that radiohead is much better than coldplay. they do not compare. coldplay isnt bad. just not radiohead.

[waiting4smtin]

Both make great music and both are great bands.

[bobthegamee]

coldplay rulezzzzzz

yellow is awsome but u must have added fix you!!

:)

so thumps up for coldplay....

[breemdemeeen]

@matteorusso116 your life must be horrible

[breemdemeeen]

why are so many radioheadfans so frustrated? Raiohead makes great music, so do muse and coldplay. It's not because you don't like it that it's radiohead rip-off

[Danieldrylie]

There is a reason why Coldplay is more popular. Radiohead makes you think. Most people don't like to think.

[DramaticExtras]

@Danieldrylie Um, Coldplay's amazing too...

[bahakouba]

no doubts both are the best

[TheSirMadness]

Fukin obvious, RADIOHEAD

[IWishTodayWas2days]

I LOVE BOTH! Love Coldplay and Radiohead for life <3

2 fucking good bands...plus Chris Martin and Thom Yorke's voices are perfect.

[rainbowcullen]

Coldplay 100000000000000%

But I like both

[Telepian]

Coldplay, Radiohead sounds too depressed.

[alexcold77]

coldplay obviously

[SoaringMuse]

I like both, Radiohead a bit more though. Nice choice of Just... beast fucking song.

[Ayre069]

Radiohead for life!

[TechnoFou]

Who cares, just listen to what you like !

[OllerMaller]

BOTH!

[hlgutierrez25]

Radioohead...

1000%

[tkm2210]

Hmmm, I really love both bands. Although for this specific contest, you didn't play one of the best radiohead songs, nor did you play one of the best coldplay songs.

I think it depends on my mood, on which I think is better =)

[MegaBassHero1994]

RADIOHEAD HANDS DOWN!!! Coldplay are terrible.

[616monk0]

no competition Radiohead



[RXillusionist]

1. Radiohead

2. ???

3. Profit

[RXillusionist]

this is rubbish. Radiohead wins no doubt. dont give me the "opinion" bullshit. there is no comparison. coldplay is ok, but kindergarden when compared to radiohead

[dlvc111]

Nada tiene que hacer coldplay al lado de radiohead, musicalmente hablando radiohead le lleva años luces: melodias y letras de gran complejidad y fuera de serie y Yorke es uno de los mejores vocalistas de estos tiempo . Coldplay tiene lo suyo ( q no es gran cosa ), pero no soporto más de tres canciones seguidas de ellos, es un grupo contemporáneo más q no pasará a la historia de las grandes bandas. Radiohead ya esta entre los gigantes!

[suicidalbitchh]

@dlvc111 mirá quién habla, la grasa qe escucha fito páez y se cree qe spinetta es dios, sin hablar qe radioh lo conocés por santiago.. no entra dentro de tu música popular campesina,

[moonbreath1]

i like both, but it's not even close.

[nb964eva]

R A D I O H E A D!

[Gimmik10]

Coldplay they Sing about living in a beautiful world whilst Radiohead Sing about the the real world and whats goin on today.. so to me coldplay are probably paid to sing about that crap, while radiohead are a real band. thats why there always being attacked by miley n shit... Radiohead 4 the Win

[etejuanete3]

the ones who has a superficial taste of music will vote for coldplay

the ones who has real and deep taste of music will vote for radiohead

simple. easy.

[Sinking23]

@etejuanete3 Just because some of us listen to Coldplay doesn't make us "superficial" that's absurd, I found Coldplay to be a good band when I listen to the lyrics, there some-what articulating when you apply it to life. Don't get me wrong Radiohead is a good band too.

[etejuanete3]

@Sinking23I said superficial taste of music not superficial person. coldplay songs are all so similar, and thier whole carreer is based in the second part of a Radiohead song: you and whose army? from Amnesiac, that's why i find them a little boring, even thought i like some of their songs. otherwise, Radiohead has so much more complexity in their songs, musically talking. it's true, some of Coldplay songs has nice lyrics but Radiohead lyrics are more poetic, sometimes difficult to understand

[olavm91]

1. Radiohead

2. Sigur Ros

3. Coldplay

4. Archive

5. Doves

6. Elbow

......

1654. Muse

[williammelvin]

radiohead are consistantly brilliant. coldplay are fading out. thom yorke is a music god, im my opinion

[father042]

stop being pseudointelectual slaves of pitchfork and NME

coldplay is the best!

[talk45]

@father042 Radiohead were before Pitchfork.

[Sammaniac90]

Easy for me: Radiohead!

[lovez2eat]

does anybody know if these two bands ever did sth together?

i mean they are at least a bit similar, so i'm really wondering if there's really no song they ever performed together!?

[ToriPeaceLove]

different kinds of music sooo many different views

[x9x8x7x61]

Coldplay is better, but Radiohead is following near. I think lots of people like radiohead because they think something like this: "Hey radiohead is indie, if i listen to it I can say coldplay fans are so uncreative since they only listen mainstream." And I hate that sort of things.

[pedrogod100]

Coldplay are better because of their Live Shows of course

[pedrogod100]

Coldplay are better than RadioHead... Of course RadioHead were a great influence to them but they make different music and they are a fantastic band! And the lyrics of Coldplay are deffinitely better!!

[radioh3ad4ever]

coldplay were my favourite band for a long time till i found out about radiohead.radiohead are different and coldplay tried to take it away from them by copieing them and partially succeded.but tbh i really dont care if coldplay are more popular or have sold more albums cus its obvious radiohead r better

[OrangeAni]

BOTH!

[platinumluigi]

It really is a shame Coldplay is more popular than Radiohead. Radiohead is so much better.

[ReallyIDontBelieveIt]

@platinumluigi Coldplay sells more albums, while Radiohead is much more respected.. maybe some of the most respected artists in the world. Coldplay isn't respected at all because of their tendency to.. steal.

[snake3741]

@platinumluigi

and its more of a shame that justin bieber is more popular them both of them

combined

[freeworldright]

rdaiohead......forever always! :)

[ReallyIDontBelieveIt]

Who's more innovative? Radiohead. Who's more influential? Radiohead. Who's more creative? Radiohead. Who's more artistic and musically diverse? Radiohead. Who's more popular? Coldplay.

[Duckshmm]

@ReallyIDontBelieveIt truest statement ever

[pratikbhusal]

@ReallyIDontBelieveIt ekzyacly.....i liked coldplay until i listened to radiohead...

[akatsukiandy]

I would still give up my one of my testicals to write something as good as Ok Computer ( Radioheads 4th Album ). - Chris Martin.  ok? done guys.

[cKunke2]

@ReallyIDontBelieveIt Actually Radiohead is arguably more popular in 2011 than Coldplay. Radiohead wins every category!

[marcbc]

@ReallyIDontBelieveIt

innovative= opinion. creative= opinion. artistic/ musically diverse= opinion. Popular= fact.

[ReallyIDontBelieveIt]

They don't have to make original music because their clueless fans will never know who actually made the music in the first place. The only reason Coldplay are famous for their debut album was because it sounded like Radiohead.

[ReallyIDontBelieveIt]

There are tons of Radiohead influences in Coldplay's songs. Shiver is similar to Permanent Daylight, Spies to Exit Music for a Film, Yellow to Lift, Trouble to Lucky, High Speed to Subterranean Homesick Alien, Yes to Morning Bell/You and Whose Army, and more.

[Thebealdhead]

Radiohead !! creep, karma police, just, reckoner,street spirit,high &dry,fake plastic trees,no surprises,paranoid android. ok computer ... the best album of all time

[mercy35687]

Just for the record:

Radiohead aren't like Coldplay.

Radiohead aren't like Muse.

Radiohead aren't like any other band.

Radiohead definitely kick ass.

[haakondahl]

@mercy35687 The problem is that Radiohead aren't like Radiohead.

[ReallyIDontBelieveIt]

@haakondahl That's what makes them great.

[mercy35687]

@haakondahl Do you mean they're not like they used to be?

[train834]

that must be a rhetorical question. Coldplay can't hold a candle to RH.

[WeAreEternal1223]

Both bands have far better songs.

what about "Violet Hill" vs. "Climbing up the walls" or "Warning sign" vs. "How to dissapear completely"

Either way I'm all for Raidohead.

[PlasticFlea]

Whats the song being played by Coldplay? The beginning sounds almost like Creep.

[PlasticFlea]

They're practically opposite of each other. Radiohead makes their own different songs while Coldplay does their own. I prefer Radiohead more though since they changed my life for the better. Not saying Coldplay is bad or anything. I love Coldplay..but not as much as Radiohead.

[lasoripa]

coldplay because they make music that touches peoples heart, unlike Radiohead who just make music that pretentiouse snobs like

[leadedmoose]

@lasoripa I don't know what to say... perhaps I'm a pretentiouse snob. 'cause you know, I like to listen to real music and value the original over an overmarketed knock off- I suppose it's the cause of snobbery these days

[RazorsharpLT]

@leadedmoose

HAHAHahaha @ overmarketed knock off.

They earned money for selling their music, and they use that money, boohoo.

Radiohead doesen't have any money because they suck.

[ReallyIDontBelieveIt]

@RazorsharpLT They're mainstream, boring, whiny, pathetic.. so many words to describe Coldplay. They haven't written anything original. They describe themselves as "Incredibly good plagiarists", Martin said he would give his left ball to write something like Ok Computer, even though he would need both to write one, and yes, they are overmarketed knock offs. They're sellouts, that's all. Boring shit.

[RazorsharpLT]

@ReallyIDontBelieveIt

Sellouts?

HAHAHahahaha

So that's why they declined that multi million dollar offer from pepsi and other companies to use their songs in a commercial

That's why they give 10% of their income to orphans

[ReallyIDontBelieveIt]

@RazorsharpLT That doesn't mean they have to make good music to keep their fans happy, not to mention their record labels.

[4peluchita]

You could've picked a better song for Radiohead, but, I sort of understand why you picked "Just". It's hard to pick out the best Radiohead song though.

[Mrfantasmas]

listen to both of them, LISTEN TO WHAT YOU LIKE, dont listen to other people when they say radiohead is better, or coldplay is better, its all bullshit, go with your guts, its not rocket science

[KarmaPoliceman158]

Peace

[MarineDelta1]

hahahahahahahahahahahahaha your foolishness amuses me

[lzxsmusic0]

In my opinion, Radiohead.

[Tuntaalam]

radiohead is awsome no doubt.. but personally i think COLDPLAY is better :), infact COLDPLAY IS THE BEST!!!!!

[Qdog145]

Radiohead FTW

[balletgirl111]

radiohead was the original, but the two groups are completely different. you really cant classify either kind of music, although chris martin once did say in an interview that coldplay would not be anywhere without radiohead. facebook wouldnt be the same without myspace, but are we really arguing about which is better? obviously, they are trying to put art out there, and neither should be criticized for it.

[BitingPixie]

@balletgirl111__  I hope with your Myspace/Facebook analogy you aren't trying to imply that Coldplay is better than Radiohead, 'cause that's just not right, girl. And to be honest I've never really thought of Coldplay as art...at least not in the same sense as Radiohead. Coldplay just makes these sort of sentimental radio-friendly songs...well, I suppose all music is "art" to some extent, but there's so much more to Radiohead..once you dig in, you can stay there forever and it never gets stale.

[balletgirl111]

@BitingPixie not at all. i love them both equally, and true, coldplay is WAY more accessable. you really can't classify what music is "better" because it depends on so many things like life and music experience and mood to like music.

[BitingPixie]

@balletgirl111 Well, I don't know what "better" means when it comes to music, really. To my little nephew The Wiggles are the best band ever, so... I'd just say that regardless of your likes and dislikes, Radiohead's music simply has more artistic value. I mean, scholars have been writing books ans theses on Radiohead, and I don't mean biography books, those are culture and philosophy and art research books, and that's not something many bands can boast of.

[BitingPixie]

Or rather, take pride in. "Boast of" really doesn't sound right.

[celestedercoli]

so..Coldplay is absolutely my favourite group..but I know Coldplay at the beginning took ispiration to Radiohaed music! Are both big groups, two of the most important...but I love Coldplay's songs, because in each song there is my life and I think Chris Martin is a genius of the music!

[thegreentree11]

radiohead.

coldplay is a joke in comparison

[spanishnavax]

I think they're both great bands coldplay is kinda pop but thats fine with me!

they both rock

[NerdFury]

both have written good songs, but radiohead is more creative and has been more influential to music in general

[ClumsyRoot]

Radiohead or Coldplay? That's like asking, Lexus or Chevy?

[basiko999]

COLDPLAYYYYYYYYYY

[ClumsyRoot]

You're 13; you don't know any better.

Ask yourself the same question in 10 years.

[KarmaPoliceman158]

Ha!

I'm 14 and I think that radiohead are a little better

[Midnightpitbull2]

radiohead > coldplay

[MayorsOffice881]

Radiohead...duh.

Who cares about Coldplay?

Radiohead was here first, they work harder, not to mention their sound and feel is overall better, and Coldplay tries to picture themselves as Radiohead. Well, it isn't working.

[OfficialTheresaCrall]

Radiohead, obviously. Coldplay wish they were Radiohead, but instead they're just a lame, girly version of them.

[skinnyskaller]

don't bother, U2 fuck them both up anyway...

[Vincent664]

COLDPLAY

[pot4add]

it's like choosing between chocolate and vanilla imo. chocolate is much better than vanilla, but some people just cant handle chocolate and have to take a step down and go with vanilla.

[soccergirlT6]

COLDPLAY!

i love coldplay

i think radiohead is more rockish. you know for like die hard rock fans which is awesome! but coldplay is more like soft rock that is beautiful and sweet and thatr is more of the music i like.

[Midnightpitbull2]

more rockish?, listen to nice dream acoustic, fake plastic trees and you will die when you hear HOW TO COMPLETELY DISAPPEAR by radiohead

[42darklord]

@soccergirlT6 you have obviously never listened to much radiohead if you think they are more "rockish" than coldplay. Radiohead is so much more diverse.

[lzxsmusic0]

radiohead is die hard rock?

sorry, but i have to disagree.

they experiment and don't fit a mold.

and they do "beautiful and sweet" if for some reason you think radiohead is solely head-banger music.

[BitingPixie]

Radiohead IS headbanger music. I headbang to No Surprises all the fricken time!

[lzxsmusic0]

@BitingPixie hahahha

[ailegio]

Coldplay did do great things at their beginning with Parachutes and A Rush Of Blood To The Head but then after their success they started to be egos, do commercial stuff and plagiate songs.

Radiohead has always been, is and will always be one of the best bands ever.

[nahomynuza]

radiohead fucks them

[rjkahlon]

Coldplay is fuckin gay. Radiohead is amazing.

[RQRMIC]

radiohead

[Th3UnionFor3v3r]

I really don't like any of them. However, Radiohead is definitely better!

[eazzy93]

@Th3UnionFor3v3r That´s the spirit
