Why does any band today have to carrry a stamp of approval (aka "the torch passed") by armchair-music fans too old and grumpy to invest any true time in dicovering what they're really about on their own?
Who are the Beatles and Stones of today?
Is this what's it come to for boomers?
Having such a myopic detachment from anything realeased in the last 30 years (oops, I meant 40-plus) that you have to pigeon-hole any band now making decent waves as "Oh... THEY might be the new Beatles... and oh, THEY must be the the new Stones..., and HE'S the new Dylan because there have only ever been three artists that will ever matter in the history of EVERYTHING"
Coldplay is Coldplay.
Muse is Muse.
The 60's are over.
Feel free to join the rest of the world into the 21 Century.

In fact, any act that has to promote itself as "the new whatever" is almost by definition rubbish

that sets it up for later bands to be the "new rubbish."

I'd like to see a reunion of the original rubbish. They might have been rubbish but at least they were original.

COLDPLAY and MUSE are the new modern version of the BEATLES = they're both crap bands like the Beatles were...
I know it's only your opinion and yes you can say whatever you like BUT..I can't help but comment on what you have said.
It is just plain childish to say the Beatles were crap, you just can't know what you are saying. the Beatles have been and proberbley always will be the best thing that happened to modern pop and rock music. They were so ahead of their time and very very clever song writers.

yeah but the system worked until recently. You had Elvis/Chuck Berry/Roy Orbison/Johnny Cash. Then you had the Stones/Beatles/Dylan. Then you had Zeppelin/Elton John/Bowie/Springsteen. Then you had U2/Madonna/Prince/Michael Jackson/Mellencamp. Then you had Nirvana/Pearl Jam/Nine Inch Nails/Sheryl Crow and now it doesn't seem like there's ANYBODY. I think my theory flies, It's pretty accurate IMHO.... So who's gonna carry on?

Nobody has to be the new anything. When were the Stones ever "the new whatever?" In fact, any act that has to promote itself as "the new whatever" is almost by definition rubbish - where's the originality?

no way. their music will never and i mean never, stand the test of time like the stones and beatles. who the hell is muse anyway?
It is amazing that here we stand roughly a half century after the Beatles and Rolling Stones began and they are still considered by many to be the two greatest rock/pop bands of all time. We really should feel blessed that one of them is still rollin, and they will roll in 2012!
Actually 1/2! I thought Ringo's latest album was better than ABB! How about the sons of the Beatles forming a band? How great would that be?

In 1964, when they were England's newest hitmakers.
I'll admit to liking a few Coldplay songs. But this thing is just awful.Quote
