  • Their singles include "Speed of Sound", "Clocks" and "The Scientist".

Total Number of Videos: 11


Oasis

Coldplay this time.

Simply because I don't know many Oasis songs. :roll:

Mon Aug 29, 2005 12:32 am

No idea who Oasis is... :P

So... Coldplay.

Mon Aug 29, 2005 12:53 am

Oasis. Not much of a reason, except a throwback to when they were big when I was a kid. Of course, I didn't actually like them when I was a kid, but my tastes have changed over the years.

Mon Aug 29, 2005 1:17 am

Oasis definately. More quality in their work I think.

Mon Aug 29, 2005 3:13 am

I have to go to the enemy Coldplay (I'm still moping around after they beat my Rammstein). I have heard of Oasis but not much into them. Plus Coldplay is alway relaxing after having a frustraiting day of school.

Mon Aug 29, 2005 12:40 pm

Oasis.
bless Zoe' and her crazy, crazy music.
would never have heard of them otherwise

Mon Aug 29, 2005 1:30 pm

Oasis has a huge body of work that Coldplay doesn't even scratch.

That and they're awesome too.

Oasis!

Mon Aug 29, 2005 3:03 pm

Coldplay, becuase Oasis... no. All their songs sound the same these days anyway.

I prefer Coldplay overall.

Mon Aug 29, 2005 4:05 pm

Oasis. There's a fine line between chilled out and depressed and Coldplay have just crossed it.

Mon Aug 29, 2005 5:46 pm

Oasis.

Mon Aug 29, 2005 6:14 pm

Oasis- the world needs laughter.

I originally typed 'laughter' as 'slaughter', which, incidentally, is what I'd quite like to do to Oasis. :)

Don't worry, they'll take care of that themselves. Probably live and involving guitar string.

Coldplay! :)

Coldply still has my vote.
