TS: Thom Yorke vs. Chris Martin

Hey Johnny B, sicne you're such an opinionated fellow, you should join the other discussions on this blog, I bet you'd have lots to give to them.

yeah... blog it up.

that would be great if Coldplay were to really stop and think about something more in depth than safe, radio friendly music. Who knows? It could happen. As for now though, they are pretty pleasant to listen to as background music. They don't really command attention, you know? Limited creativity, as you said.

I still choose Radiohead over them any day though.

I am both a huge Radiohead fan and a huge Coldplay fan. That said, Thom Yorke is the better musician of the two. I feel like he does more. For all I know that could be a load of bull, but untill someone proves otherwise whatever

In 98 I was visting my cousins in Toronto where I saw Radiohead at the Maple Leaf Gardens; I honestly have no idea what they cost, I think they were a gift, but I would guess about 150 quid (the seats were brilliant) I know that here in the UK tickets were much more expensive and harder to come by, and at 16 I didn't realize that a Radiohead concert is an investment. One thing that I remember quite well is that Thom kept flippin off several people for various reasons (i.e. yelling too loudly). Chris clearly wins in personality I think; he constantly thanks the audience, and I do believe his sincerity. I saw CP in 03 at Earls Court and paid about 50 and at Crystal Palace in 05 for 75.

Hi Emily, thanks for the info on costs for the Coldplay tickets.

since there is not chat going, I will be off topic a bit.

pscott - I got a chance to spend a bit more time with Echo and the Bunnymen music. I must say thanks for the lead, I hadn`t really heard much of their stuff before as I stated to you earlier. Of the three bands you had mentioned no doubt if any influened Yorke it would be this one.

I also wasn`t surprised to see them as a recommended item to hear on Anton Newcombe`s band`s site. I think they influenced the BJM no doubt too and probably many others for that matter.

thanks again for the lead.

oh i'm finnaly getting it, you're not the johnny b from oxford who posts on the watercooler thread but some random menk.

Enrique - really, I am just happy I am a good source to help you vent some built up frustration online. Glad I could help.

Now do you have anything productive at all to say or not ?
