coldplay vs radiohead?

Gotta love their commitment to the 'Album'. 13 songs but 10 tracks. Three are flatsharing, but only one of them gets a mention on the back cover. And yet, Yes doesn't segue into CSS, and DAAHF doesn't segue into The Escapist, so why not mention those other two? (and, again, why not just make them separate songs?) Quite cute in how obtuse an attempt it was to clog up the iTunes/download/shuffle way of doing things.

Also yeah I'd never thought about the Venus in Furs in Yes before, good call.

Three are flatsharing

Okay should be six are but you get the point

the funny thing about them is they were actually better at doing all those art rock lifts on vlv than they are at being a pop band

I still like "Yellow" - and Mark Kermode's description in his original review for Richard Linklater's Boyhood is pretty amusing:

Even the opening strains of Coldplay's "Yellow" seem to be heard with younger, more innocent ears, as if we are listening to the song in an age before Chris Martin and co became the touchstone for all things terrible.
