And where is rock in their music? Rock is powerful energic and almost a little hard. But not just lullabies... sorry, don't want to annoy anyone, but all songs by Coldplay are slow and light. And it isn't rock. Howgh

Not all of them are slow like the Scientist, that's a big generalisation, have you listened to Viva La Vida (the album)?

Rock is very big umbrella, it stretches all the way from Metallica to Radiohead, Coldplay fits somewhere within that spectrum.

Originally posted by Remy:Indeed, that's the same as saying U2 isn't making rock music by listen to OOTS and Sometimes.

Yep... but where is song like Vertigo, Elevation, etc... Coldplay have some fast song like that? If yes, gimme some link (to youtube or something). If Violet Hill is the fastest track (it is the best, what I've heard by them), I can't call it rock.Sorry
edit: And yes, didn't heard whole Viva La Vida, but heard full previous albums and there isn't rock track...

But I think it's very subjective, depends on how you would define rock.
