Almost 7 years on since I asked the question@dannyboy29 "musical stats / achievements". Bollocks to that nonsense, Coldplay may play more melodic pop tunes but Radiohead are in a different league as musicians.
Bump!
Having good musicians doesn't necessarily make the best bands though. Look at the Beatles/Oasis ect. I could get you 5 sessions musicians who would wipe the floor with the guys from Radiohead in terms of musical talent but would that make them a better band? I would say no. For me you have to look at the full package;
Radiohead v Coldplay (In my opinion)
Live performance - Coldplay
Songs -Coldplay
appeal to mass market - Coldplay
sound - Coldplay
worldwide size of band - Coldplay
sales - Coldplay
Number ones - Coldplay
Quirky - Radiohead
Im not saying Radiohead are a poor band, far from it. However, to call Coldplay wank when then out do Radiohead in every aspect of Musical success is a tad unfair.
