Only 7023?

Well thanks god the award wasn't for best band, or best music. Just best Act.
Just like Paris Hilton would win the award for the 'Best shiatty leaked sex tape that propelled a vapid twat into the public limelight'.

Some is eating sour apples.

Pixies. Great band. DRTFA, just wanted to say this.

WTF!!! These guys were robbed.

7023 bands and 12,867,827,123 dogs who howl at the moon.

I don't understand the Coldplay hate. They seem pretty humble and their songs don't completly suck.

dbho: I don't understand the Coldplay hate. They seem pretty humble and their songs don't completly suck.

They're popular.

Therefore they suck.

/cue the metal guys to talk about how they only listen to Norwegian metal, and at that, only certain types of Norwegian metal because everyone else are pussies
//Coldplay is okay in my book, not a favorite, but I won't kill my mother to turn them off
///oh yeah, and Pixies. Great band. DRTFA, just wanted to say this.

Subby, all 7,025 your favorite bands suck

Any band or artist could've won and there will always be a group of people who think that artist is horrible and undeserving. No band is universally loved by everyone, no matter how great they are.

Yeah, I like the Clash and Pixes much more, but I don't mind Coldplay. I can think of tons of bands that I think suck far worse.

Saw Coldplay last week when they opened for these guys Link (new window)

smeag0l: WTF!!! These guys were robbed.

I thought it was these guys.

hiltinuts2: Saw Coldplay last week when they opened for these guys Link (new window)

Is that going to become the new rick-roll?

Coldplay...best act in the world...

My first reaction was to laugh hysterically, but really this is just sad. Now for those expecting the apocalypse...HERE IS YOUR SIGN!

/Seriously?!
//I'd take that shiatty band that has the fat guy that kind of just squeals that open almost every heavy metal show over those british ass clowns.

Should have been Nickelback.

I have seen the Pixies live (in 2005), and Coldplay live (in 2001).

Viva la Vida is one of the crappiest songs I have ever heard. I have no idea why it is/was so popular. As for Coldplay as a group...meh.

Muse.

Pixies. Great band. DRTFA, just wanted to say this.

Subby, I didn't realize The Clash were still around today.

Saw Opeth last week. Still riding the wave of awesome that was that concert. So this article is wrong.

/Hates farking Coldplay with the passion of a million sons....

That's a lot of bastards

You know how I know you're gay?

Papaw

I can see I am not needed here.

Pixies. Great band. Kim Deal said she'd likely never work with Black Francis and certainly never record with him again. So no "act" to compete with Coldplay currently.

I don't know much about "Q" magazine, but what I read in the comments of TFA... it is about as edgy or adventurous as a pandering politician. Coldplay is a good band, good light show, and doesn't push anyone's buttons or boundaries. If that is the criteria, then I think both the Clash and Pixies would sneer at the consideration for such a prize. I know Joe would have.

EchoDork: Muse.

Yeah, pretty much. They're easily the best thing going right now in music. Matt Bellamy is, too put it mildly, one extremely talented dude.

Moses To Sandy Koufax: Yeah, pretty much. They're easily the best thing going right now in music. Matt Bellamy is, too put it mildly, one extremely talented dude.

I love their music, and the "Knights of Cydonia (^)" video is f'n hilarious. How are they live?

To actually have an "act", I think you need to actually have a band that is currently playing. So the Clash probably count about as much as Elvis.

I went through my Muse stage, but after a while their stuff just kind of started sounding the same. They were fun while it lasted for me. Great live "act", too.

I think it is clear to anyone who has seen them live that Gogol Bordello is the most fun and best show in the world right now. Nobody gets the crowd going like they do.



PARTY!

Verfall: /Hates farking Coldplay with the passion of a million sons....

Don't fark them when
/You know how I know you're gay?

I knew it was an "act"

I'm sorry, but Coldplay's Parachutes is one of the best albums of the 00's. It will be remembered as a classic.

Gunny Highway: I think it is clear to anyone who has seen them live that Gogol Bordello is the most fun and best show in the world right now. Nobody gets the crowd going like they do.

I've heard that many many times. I've been hoping to see them for quite awhile now.

picturescrazy: I've heard that many many times. I've been hoping to see them for quite awhile now.

They are in Europe right now but they will be back.

GWAR!!!!
THAT IS ALL

I can't say you're wrong, but

would like a word with you.

DreamBrother: I'm sorry, but Coldplay's Parachutes is one of the best albums of the 00's. It will be remembered as a classic.

There is only one album in the history of the world that is inferior to anything Coldplay has ever done, and that is Mitch Albom.

factoryconnection: would like a word with you.

i wish i knew who that was. Im sure I know them by ear just not by eye.

DRTFA, but they're judging bands that are no longer together...Queen.

factoryconnection: How are they live?

Better than they are in albums.

Look for their finale at Glastonbury a few years ago.

Pixies. Great band. DRTFA, just wanted to say this.

I saw them on my birthday this year (at my favorite venue, nonetheless) and was blown away. They really are one of the best bands to see live right now but I think someone else takes the cake...

Pixies. Great band, DTRFA, just came to say this.
