Randy Lahey Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 Why is Coldplay huge in the US compared to Oasis? I'm just listening to this wonderful Noel acoustic album and pondering that question. It's a bloody shame really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SunnyDRE Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 Coldplay songs have "hooks".........After their third album, Oasis songs did not.By the way, Coldplay fans........Coldplay totally ripped The Doves off with Viva La Vida.Viva La Vida sounds excatly like The Dove's 2002 album, The Last Broadcast.So much so.....I think the Doves seriously should consider sueing.

AbominableHoman Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 Oasis is too english. America can't digest it.I'd be willing to bet there's plenty who don't even grasp Coldplay's nationality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Utah Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 Oasis was big in the States when they were releasing music like their first two albums. Probably not as big now, but then again they haven't really released anything as good yet. As far as Coldplay is concerned, who knows, bunch of nerds if you ask me.

Dariablue Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 Can't stand Coldplay; far too whiny for my taste. Don't mind Oasis though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy Lahey Posted March 19, 2009 Author Share Posted March 19, 2009 (edited) I believe it mostly comes down to Coldplay kissing ass as opposed to Oasis who prefer to kick some ass. Edited March 19, 2009 by Randy Lahey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murray_TH Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 Aren't Coldplay just riding on the wave of Gwyneth...Oasis have had their ups and downs since Morning Glory, but they're a far better band......in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KBear Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 I've enjoyed singles by both bands. I recently bought but haven't yet listened to "What's the Story Morning Glory" and "Definitely Maybe". I've been contemplating buying "Parachutes" and "A Rush of Blood to the Head". I really only know maybe 6 Oasis songs. I'm really looking forward to sitting down and listening to those two albums.

sweetness Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 while i agree that oasis is better than coldplay, both are pretty bland and boring bands imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasted Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 Noel is always good for a quote, "I'm just warning you, I'm getting completely plastered tonight."That was probably a misquote."I do miss the attention. That's why I'm going to leave this interview and knee the first person I see in the balls." - Liam, also a misquote.I can't see the difference in their albums really, they are still the same it's just Coldplay's turn in the sun, in 10 years Coldplay won't be selling so great.What kind of wine do you want?"Anything French." - Noel.

DCGNR Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 You are right and it really is absurdThe average person/female will tell you Coldplay is better because the radios pump their songs continuously -Oasis is a much better band, imo - Just think, there are people who actually would prefer the movie "Twighlight" over "Bram Stoker's Dracula" as wellGo figure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dirtylenny Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 Because Coldplay fit Americas idea of what the english are like...kinda quaint nice polite young men that are very bland and impotent and kinda charming in being so and anybody that deviates from that can be a bit disconcerting. Shame cuz england had the better bands, always has done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
