Not sure if trolling.

"Fix You" is a really good song, but all of their songs are pretty lighthanded and heavy hearted-sad-sack slow jams.

Not bad ass, but good. Then they became way too mainstream for their own good and their collaborations are the same level as Hayley Williams. Well, whatever people like, it isn't for me though.

I wouldn't use "badass" as an adjective to describe Coldplay at anytime during their existence.

I liked Coldplay up until Viva la Vida (the album). Never were they badass.

I wouldn't even use the term badass to describe the bands that I actually enjoy.

Never, ever, ever, was Coldplay badass.

Their older songs were pretty respectable though, not sure about their newer stuff.

Wouldn't call them badass, but they have this really interesting dichotomy of uptempo songs that sound sad as hell, at least the old ones.

Its OT. If it isn't a metal subgenre or some sort of obscure alternative band, it'll get hate.

You and TC are literally the only two people in the thread to have agreed that Coldplay was/is badass. While everyone is entitled to their opinion, it's kind of sad to see so many haters in the thread. It makes me think of the possibility that groupthink is dominating this thread, as opposed to people being open in their opinions.

Great musicians =/= badass.

Coldplay are neither great, nor badass. They have a few good songs, but much of it sounds the same.

Or Coldplay just isn't that interesting to most people here. IMO they are nothing but a U2 lite band that makes uninteresting mediocre music. You can certainly have a different opinion of the band....though I don't think many would consider them anything other than derivative or lacking in imagination. Their music just is. I always find it odd that if opinions are generally more to one side than the other....then group think is called. Sometimes it's just what it is.....

Strange, I've never heard groupthink being called out very frequently when one-sided opinions dominate. Maybe I live under a rock. Nonetheless, people are entitled to their opinion. I don't have any personal attachment to the band; I just wanted to post my observation.
