Coldplay vs Porcupine Tree

Scott Walker Teh Drift is teh best Album in teh whole world !

Hail grim disturbing folk muisc !!!

Fuck Hippy Trippy Cold Tree asswhiper motherbangers !!!

If you are not metal, you are not my friend.
 
Seems like these kinds of threads have been overdone here from the looks of the replies, but I'll still put my two cents here.

What I find astounding is how many "metalheads" I know that are big fans of Coldplay. Seriously. What is it with this band? I even had the opportunity to see Coldplay live a couple years ago (Only because the ticket was free, mind you.) I wasn't personally blown away by them. They did put on a solid performance. I'll give them that. What really threw me for a loop was their fans. I saw more asshats at this show than at any metal gig I have ever been to.

Back to the subject at hand, I'd take Porcupine Tree any day. ;-)
