Its like their only good song. I used to think that band had potential to be great, but they did for the wrong reasons. Dammit.

I don't think it's their only good song, but I think it might be their only great song.

The drum tone is perfect, the guitar is excellent. I love how the guitar chords in the main riff are played just slightly flat. It turns a schlock ballad into something slightly messier.

Nah - I wouldn't go that far. I didn't hate Clocks or Speed of Sound, and I wouldn't say that they have balls. Yellow just never did it for me

I like "Strawberry Swing". But I like the Frank Ocean version better.

Coldplay WAS good, in my opinion. They did good songs, but then they started thinking they were the best artists of their category.

Then the "hey, I'm going to sell myself" started and here we have this today's Coldplay.

I prefer Clocks from the Deadplay, were so cold that died :lol:

Clocks and speed of sound are good; only because they're exactly the same songs. The rest can get fucked.

A clip of Pearl Jam's 'new' song Animal was just played coming back from break during the world series. Good lookin' out, Joe Buck!
