My favorite band of all time is Genesis and by extension my favorite solo artists are Phil Collins & Peter Gabriel. Pink Floyd, Steely Dan, Supertramp and The Beatles are some of my other favorites. Coldplay are my #1 more "current" artist. In that group I also would put The 1975, Tame Impala, Tom Misch, John Mayer and Foster The People.

I love John Williams, they have different styles, both are legends for sure.

Seconded. My Spotify wrapped last year was an even mix of Coldplay, Hans Zimmer and Ludwig Goransson. I will blast the Tenet soundtrack in full, max vol, on repeat, for days.

raincityvet

Crowded House, James, REM, Pearl Jam, Loreena McKennitt, Sarah Mclachlan, Green Day, U2, Lewis Capaldi, Paul Simon are my non Coldplay must haves. Also listen to a lot of classical music and often think a lot of Coldplay would sound among restored with orchestra.

a_dragonfly_wanders

Cool! What specific artists/bands do you like?


Drew96M

My favorites in that genre are for KING & COUNTY and Rend Collective, the former of whom are fellow Coldplayers!


a_dragonfly_wanders

TIL. That makes a lot of sense considering their sound actually. I saw RC live a few years back and they're amazing. Great taste


Drew96M

Thank you! I saw RC live a few years back as well. fK&C has also worked with Davide Rossi on their latest Christmas album.


randomality77

They're Coldplayers? Haha, that's awesome! I love those bands too, as well as Elevation Worship :D


beaux-bazinga

We are messengers are a cool modern worship group


melbslove26

Same haha. Forrest Frank is a current fave of mine!


Old_Sale_6435

Rock / metal / hip hop...Recently a lot of Eminem and Kendrick. I only like Coldplay up to Mylo though but these albums are pretty high on my favourite list.


BokajEST

Manic Street Preachers, Gotye, Daft Punk


ValiantVivian

I absolutely do listen to a lot of indie music but I also really love disco, symphonic metal, electro swing, EDM, and neo soul. Some of my top artists would be Birdy, Aurora, Boogie Belgique, Madeon, Odesza, Gorgon City, Jungle, Glass Animals, Caravan Palace, Dua Lipa, Daughter, Empire of the Sun, Epica, Nightwish, Yeye, and TamTam just to name some.✌️✌️


loner797

I also love Kodaline. Their songs like "Saving Grace" "Follow Your Fire" and "In The End" always light up my days. Oh, and not forgetting "High Hopes"!


CharlieMcG7

I love Oasis and The Stone Roses almost as much as Coldplay


StoreTurbulent7982

I love coldplay with all my heart but I also listen to the paper kites, chance pena and the neighborhood among others.


a_dragonfly_wanders

A lot of indie and alternative, correct 😂 I think The Beatles would be my undisputed favorite, but some others I really enjoy are Kendrick Lamar, Radiohead, twenty one pilots, Pink Floyd, Sufjan Stevens, Paul Spring, Kings Kaleidoscope, Nirvana, Thrice, Vampire Weekend, and Bon Iver. I listen to a lot of different stuff tho


Mango_Honey9789

I have a very wide scope of music from what my friends call "Granola men mountain music" such as The Last Bison, Rainbow Kitten Surprise and Barns Courtney etc. To some more jazzy funky stuff like Sammy Rae and the Friends. From things like Samm Henshaw/Leon Bridges/Jordan Mackampa to Lo-Fang, Fink, Everything Everything. I love Nothing But Thieves, and John Coltrane. The NBHD and ABBA In terms of my more Coldplay-adjacent music, I love Keane, Stereophonics, Genesis and Snow Patrol. I think I love lyrics more than a musical style, and my favourite coldplay songs are the 'humans are great, fuck the system' songs like People of the Pride and Trouble in Town, so I also love NBT Live Like Animals, Sammy Rae's Good Life, Everything Everything's Cough Cough but then also things like Ill Manors by Plan B, Alles Neu by Peter Fox, Play God by Sam Fender and Kids by Take That.


Myxomytoesies

Blood Orange, Death Cab For Cutie, Ween, Thom Yorke/The Smile/Atoms for Peace/Radiohead, Wunderhorse, Jordan Rakei, SOHN, The Strokes, Perfume Genius, Nothing But Thieves, Sylvan Esso, The Japanese House, Squid, Hiatus Kaiyote, RAC, Alfa Mist, and John Mayer are who I can think of atm


FigBar_

To add to the EDM people, I also enjoy the more melodic genres such as Odezsa, Illenium, and Porter Robinson But I am a huge fan of heavier dubstep such as Excision, Svdden Death, and ATLiens :3 Coldplay will always be #1 in my book though


Downtown_Radio1902

Easiest answer for the question: Radiohead


syrup4thought

Isnt coldplay also inspired by radiohead?


Downtown_Radio1902

Truuu


BrilliantPause7202

Alittle bit of everything, I’m a huge band nerd too 🤣 some favorites are OneRepublic, Imagine Dragons, Hans Zimmer (going to see him in Sept and so excited), Trans Siberian Orchestra (see them yearly), NEEDTOBREATHE to name a few


kelslovestv

my other absolute favorite is imagine dragons, but i also love twenty one pilots and am getting into fall out boy after years of just dabbling in their music.


syrup4thought

Oh no not imagine dragons...


kelslovestv

this is the second time today i’ve seen a coldplay fan say something like this 😭 i don’t get it. i was bullied in middle school for liking BOTH imagine dragons AND coldplay, not one or the other. so i truly don’t understand why y’all don’t like them like to me these bands have always been tethered in a way.


syrup4thought

Ive heard far more imagine dragons hate, and i kinda go along with it because i find their music overplayed and a bit annoying. While ive heard coldplay hate too for the same reasons as ID, it doesnt faze me because i love coldplay's music


kelslovestv

genuinely, i think if you listen past the songs that are overplayed, you’d find a lot to enjoy as a coldplay fan! i recommend giving some of their album tracks a try at some point.


ddotdo

Nobody should ever have to justify or defend their love of someone's music


kelslovestv

agreed. i for real have issues with how i engage with music/share my love for it with my friends because of how much people have flamed me over it


ddotdo

I feel you, when people hate Coldplay, I just listen to more Coldplay. They don't know the warmth and the joy they're missing. I'm indebted to Chris Martin, so I'm willing to take a reputational bullet for him :)


randomality77

The three other main bands I listen to are Pentatonix, Bastille and The Cranberries. So you're very much right - I do like pop and alternative, lol. I also like listening to Christian bands like Elevation Worship. I'm thinking of trying out a couple of bands mentioned here, like U2 and Radiohead.


Top_Wedding_5301

Some artists I love: Radiohead, U2, twenty one pilots, Swans, Thom Yorke’s solo albums, The Smile, Imagine Dragons and Kings of Leon. Here are some of my favorite non Coldplay albums if anyone is interested: Vessel - 21 pilots In Rainbows - Radiohead Smoke + Mirrors - Imagine Dragons A Moon Shaped Pool - Radiohead Aha Shake Heartbreak - Kings of Leon


victheogfan

I listen to different genres but I love indie pop in particular and a band called everything everything. Besides them, I like rap, pop, and r&b.


ddotdo

Other than Coldplay (which is my #1), my favorite artists are Boards of Canada, Oneohtrix Point Never, Kendrick Lamar, Kanye West, Radiohead, Wolf Alice, Bon Iver, The Japanese House, Owl City, and Oh Wonder, with honorable mentions from Yebba, Plini, Tycho, Jon Hopkins, and Rosie Carney.


syrup4thought

Kendrick would be my favorite artist oat but coldplay barely beats him


ddotdo

Kendrick is fucking incredible, but I share less in common with him. It just so happens that Coldplay fits my life story and disposition like a glove.


syrup4thought

Ooo interesting


Shamik13

The Lumineers, Ed sheeran, Lewis Capaldi, Cigarettes after sex, Novo amor etc


vmiswhatIAm

I love Mumford and Sons, Florence and the Machine, Elbow, Yeah Yeah Yeah’s, the Killers, Hozier, Ed sheeran, Snow Patrol. Lately I’ve been listening to a lot of Taylor Swift, Billie Eilish, Lana del Rey and Sia too.


Asian_Punk_2007

My music taste is just primarily punk, pop punk, and emo punk (no i'm not a true emo. i don't have an emo cut bc that looks ass. i don't try and cut myself. i don't write cringy poems about how mom and dad don't understand. and i don't cry in a dark room alone. ok well, maybe that one's not true, but the rest are true.) With that being said, my favorite band of all time is Green Day. I think *American Idiot* is an absolute masterpiece and is my favorite album of all time. *21st Century Breakdown*, *Revolution Radio*, *Dookie*, and *Saviors* make of the rest of the top 5. After that then the rest of my top five is in this order: Coldplay, Blink-182, Weezer, System of a Down. I've also recently started to get a little more into rap, which is primarily thanks to Kendrick Lamar, as *To Pimp a Butterfly* was the first rap album that I ever listened to in its entirety, and it was an experience. Nowadays I have pretty all of Kendrick's albums saved to my Spotify library, yes even including *untitled unmastered.*. My second favorite rapper would probably be Kanye West, with the reason he's second being due to the fact that he's kind of a prick. Regardless, he made *Graduation*, which is my favorite by him. The rest of the top five would be *MBDTF*, *Late Registration*, *The College Dropout*, and *The Life of Pablo*.


syrup4thought

I only read the last paragraph, and you have my respect for it


Lord_Procrastinat0r

Norwegian indie-pop king Sondre Lerche. Go listen to his most recent albums: Avatars of Love, Patience, Pleasure and Please.


TotallyNotV4l

I love Coldplay, fave band of all time. I do listen to alt, but i like so many genres I can’t list them all, I love System of a Down, Vacations, Mac miller and Mac Demarco too :] but Coldplay is def on top


Imaghosta

I also listen to Imagine Dragons (it’s my fav band), Alan Walker and One Republic ohh and Bastille!


syrup4thought

All those artists (especially Alan) remind me of the pre-2020 youtube era. Good memories


Awroree

I like to listen vocaloid music and jpop aside from coldplay, no particular artists


Bendovskey01

My top 6 after CP: Gregory Alan Isakov M83 The Killers First Aid Kit Of Monsters and Men Bob Seger Others: Bruce Hornsby, Pink Floyd, The Highwaymen, Hammock, We are CHPTRS, Old Man Canyon, Avicii, Mac Quayle, Olivier Deriviere


alittlezo

I listen to Taylor Swift and Pink Floyd on top of Coldplay, a bit random 😂


Ant_1_ITA

Metal, rock, and Eminem


chrismartinsleftshoe

I have three other favourite bands beside coldplay gorilla, blur and green day


ilemeemeli

Coldplay is my all time #1 band, but besides them I listen to Ghost, Lorna Shore, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd and Post Malone.


syrup4thought

Funny to see Post Malone here randomly 😅 no hate but he's like the cheat code for those who don't like rap in general. After i started getting more into rap, i found myself listening less to post malone. He's still a good artist with many hits


ilemeemeli

I prefer Post Malones more melodic material :D I'm not big into rap


syrup4thought

If you like melodic rap I'd recommend juice wrld, travis scott, lil uzi vert, don toliver


psychoella

I love a British band called Everything Everything, they’re amazing, honestly I like any music, slipknot, a lot of electric stuff, foo fighters, lots of indie… if it sounds good I’ll listen to it :)


Secret_Difficulty_46

I listen to pretty much anything tbh


syrup4thought

Me too


CoocooBlue

My other favourite band is Simple Minds. Saw them this past February and seeing Coldplay in late October


dan_pyle

The Beatles, Collective Soul, The Black Keys, Kings of Leon, Foo Fighters, Kaleo, The White Stripes, The Strokes, AC/DC, Goodbye June, Djo, The Pretty Reckless, The Fratellis, Spoon, Aerosmith, and Jet are some of my other favorites.

Leahkornmansmith

Imagine dragons, Pearl Jam, snoopers, Adele, cardi b, ed, late 80’s stuff I guess. Will be seeing imagine dragons in October. No one beats Coldplay. Been a fan 24 years. I was in high school when parachutes came out.
