Radiohead are better than Coldplay

Never.
Hm, just tried those other two albums, just not my genre/style of music I guess.

I do wonder,
Is it my headphones?
Maybe my ears have gotten worse over time?
Have I trained myself to be able to notice certain sounds and qualities of music I usually listen to?

Personally my bet is, just not the style/genre I've developed appreciations of.

You're so right, they aren't a good point at all to start with Radiohead and Coldplay (I'm referring to the bends and parachutes) because they're really more mature and also because they're really different and experimental, for those band it's better start, as you said with OK Computer, and also In Rainbows imo, and with Viva la Vida by Coldplay because it's easier to get into the catchy songs

You'd really never listened to Radiohead or Coldplay before this debate? The Bends and Parachutes aren't bad places to start for either band, but they're not either band's best. OK Computer (Radiohead) and Viva La Vida (Coldplay) are both much better imo.

No worries at all, take your time it's not a big issue at all

Yes I truly apologize to pro. It was last minute

I've 'heard of one Radiohead song, Creep.
Never really listened to it though.

Coldplay, 'also only ever heard of one song, Viva La Vida.
I 'have listened to that one, like it well enough.

Radiohead The Bends Album
I don't know, there's something about the soft crooning breathlessness of his voice I don't like. Maybe I just don't connect with the lyrics all 'that much.
The instruments and vocals feel as though they 'mix a bit to the point of just 'noise to me.
Some purely instrumental versions aren't 'bad, peaceful I suppose.

To me, it also seems as though Radiohead in the Bends album repeat some of their lyrics a 'lot.
Some of the guitar also sounds 'murky? To me.

Of the Bends album, I think I preferred Bones and Street Spirit (Fade Out), though some of the others instrumental versions weren't 'bad, just not 'great for 'me.
. . .

Coldplay Parachutes Album,
'Still not really my style, but I find the lyrics easier to understand, they're more separate from the music and spoken quicker, rather than long crooned out.
But, Coldplay 'still croons more than I like.
Just not my genre I guess. Yet, I like Frank Sinatra's music. And some other long drawn out human vocalizations.
Ah, Yellow, heard that one before, never cared for it all that much, don't 'hate it, just don't like it either.
We Never Change wasn't that bad.
. . .

Eh, either band though and the genre, probably fans ears can better pick out differences and qualities they like.

Hm, better at what?
I suppose if two bands had equal depth, but one had a greater range, one might say the band with greater range is better.

'Maybe shouldn't accept or offer debates, if you don't have a strong expectation, you can 'be 'there for them.
