I love both Coldplay and Radiohead. Radiohead are my most favourite band in the world, im a Radiohead Freek! Coldplay, I think, are very different to radiohrad. Coldplay are more pop-ballad than radiohead. Its hard to choose what era of radiohead you can compare to Coldplay. Coldplay have been unique and individual, and it has been the best ever gig IVe been too. I don't know if radiohead really pulled off the later experimentalist albums. Pablo Honey and The Bends were similar, OK Computer was a great leap forward, and a very different album. Kid A was even more experimental, taking the electronic sound to extremes, but from there, everything seemed to stay the same. I really didn't find Amnesiac to be individual, especially for a band who was breaking trends on every previous album. It did have its differences, but was very similar to Kid A (Perhaps because they were recorded at the same time). HTTT is a mix of a few albums, namely The Bends, OK Computer and Amnesiac. I like the direction they have gone, with the songs being more like songs, rather than musical art pieces. Ill be interested to see what their new album will be like, perhaps back to their roots with plain old dirty rockin love ballads, can't wait!
