You're just proving my point. For one, I know of nothing Coldplay has come out with so far that comes close to ranking them with the bands you mentioned.
- The beatles were together longer than 8 years or even 10 yeas. They spent time playing in Liverpool clubs as unknowns before their recording years. And how many legendary albums. I can't name even one album of "coldplay's"... why? Not because I'm not tuned into music I can tell you that. No one listens to as much rock radio as I do. No, it's because they aren't fit to even be meantioned in the same breath as the Beatles, that's why.
- The Police? I'm sorry but the ONLY thing coldplay has on the police IS longevity.
- The animals? See above.
- Their music is no Hendrix either. Again, if not for his untimely death one wonders just how many years and how many other great works of art Jimmi would have come up with.
I don't know why you guys even argue this crap with me. Coldplay? Please. They have more work to do, as in lots, if they truly want to be ranked and remembered among the greats. They need to come out with some less gay shit. :D
