Now Weezer, that's a band that had promise but squandered it all.

I just like to pretend Weezer released the Blue Album and Pinkerton, then "Hash Pipe" as a single, and suddenly Rivers Cuomo died in a horribly gruesome ophthalmology-related accident.

Parachutes - 4
A Rush of Blood - 4
X&Y - 3.5
Viva La Vida - 4
Mylo Xyloto - probably a 3

That's on a 1 - 10 scale right Xavygravy :-k

Viva La Vida is great in parts.

Weezer seems to be degrading over time, but I have hope they'll get back on track.
There were moments of greatness in The Red Album though.

Wooooahwoahwoah, let's not say such things.
History can be weird that way.

I mean, if I was living in the early 60's listening to Please Please Me, I'd probably tell you there was NO way this band would ever gain any artistic credibility or ever innovate.

Meh, Parachutes and War are alright...

Actually, I have this weird new theory about Coldplay albums - the further they get from Rush of Blood to the Head, the worse they get. It's like that album is a liquid core emanating talent, and each other album is another layer over this core, each layer getting a significantly reduced concentration of "good".

Let's test this...

Parachutes: alright (1st layer)
Rush of Blood the Head: excellent (core)
X & Y: alright (1st layer)
Viva La Vida: meh... (2nd layer)
Mylo Xyloto: OH GOD MAKE IT STOP! MY EEEEEARS! (3rd layer)

Wait you like X&Y more than Viva La Vida (their best album!) What the fuck?

Oh yes I did.

Ok, this chart isn't TOTALLY fair, because I haven't finished all of Mylo Xyloto yet. But then again, I'm not sure I want to anymore.

There's nothing wrong with disliking U2 and Coldplay. It just says that you don't like music that scientists have cooked up in a lab as a cure for insomnia.

I just wanna say that U2's "The Unforgettable Fire" is actually a legitimately great album, and a runner-up for my top 100. Coldplay's "A Rush of Blood to the Head" is also very good.

That being said, neither band really has any other albums worth listening to.

The Rihanna song is appalling. It's not even her singing that I mind so much, it's the awful synths and electronic beats which are used. And the use of male backing vocals are cringeworthy. Please, make it stop!
