ONTD Original: Where Are They Now? White Band Man With Piano

[sorryeden]

I'm back with another ONTD Original. Last time, I talked about the WGWG era that dominated the music charts in the early aughts. Thanks to glitterslugs, I thought I'd mention the white band man with piano. No, this isn't about Billy Joel. This is about the soft rock/soft alternative bands of the early aughts. Some of their music was accompanied by a piano. (

I haven't liked a Coldplay album since Viva La Vida, but I bought Mylo Xyloto out of loyalty.... haven't bought one since tho.

A Rush of Blood to the Head will forever be my favorite album.

Surprisingly their most haunting newish song wasn't even from the album titled Ghost stories. Lmao

I love Cemeteries of London. wish they'd go back to their Viva La Vida sound, sometimes.

Ugh La Vida was such an iconic album. I should revisit it. Its my favorite of theirs

[lovelylaura23]

There still so many good songs on it. It's totally solid. Wish I could say the same about MX onwards, but nope. Lol

This song is so unlike anything else they made, it remains an overlooked masterpiece.

Then these two sound like a newer version of their older songs:

They really should've made more music like this imo.

Ugh Death and All of their friends is my favorite off the album!

Oh but Yes is so good! Ugh yes revisiting this album this week!

I have this viseral memory of striding to school with this playing on my shitty plastic mp3 player feeling like a revolution, I dont know what happened.

I agree with Coldplay. I listened to Viva La Vida sooo much when it came out. I also think A Rush of Blood to the Head is the most perfect album I've ever listened to, even though I still have others that are more my favorite.
