Gue melihat saingan terberatnya adalah Coldplay.Tapi gue mencoba untuk menjadi sangat-sangat netral, karena gue awalnya adalah penyuka Coldplay.

Gue denger duluan Violet Hill, gue emang suka lagu itu selama beberapa hari. Muncullah Viva La Vida or Death and All His Friends, dan gue udah nggak begitu suka Violet Hill, udah bosen. Yang gue suka adalah Cemeteries of London, Strawberry Swing, dan Lost!.

Lalu gue liat-liat di last.fm, artis yang mirip dengan Coldplay adalah Radiohead. Jadi gue denger sepotong kecil dari lagu Nude (yeah, my first time Radiohead's track is In Rainbows' Nude). Lalu gue donlot dulu pake torrent satu album penuh In Rainbows, yang kemudian gue baca di mana-mana kalo itu album dirilis secara online dengan harga terserah pendownload.

Gue agak kaget dengan 15 Steps yang menghentak begitu, yang terus pas gue nonton Twilight, 'lho, ini kan lagu yang gue denger tadiiii...apa yaaaa judulnyaaaa? oh...15 Steps...'
Gue denger lagi, denger lagi, lagi, lagi. Gue berusaha mencerna satu album itu susah payah, dan akhirnya gue ngerti di mana enaknya semua lagu itu.

Gue meninggalkan Coldplay. Hahaha.

Secara lirik, gue lebih suka lirik lagu Radiohead. Apalagi yang dulu-dulu, lebih straightforward. Kalo sekarang sih seringnya bikin pusing, tapi menarik, dan jujur. Kalo Coldplay, gimana yaaa...kurang nyentuh, kurang real rasanya.

Secara suara, gue SANGAT SANGAT SANGAT suka karakter suara Thom Yorke. Even Chris Martin (frontman Coldplay) admitted (I read in Rolling Stones' 100 Best Singers of All Time, Thom Yorke was #66), "I try to sing like Thom Yorke." Mungkin suaranya terkesan agak desperate dan mellow, tapi it really fits me. Gue setuju sama pernyataan yang gue lupa baca di review album yang mana, somewhere on the net, kalau suaranya Thom Yorke bisa dibilang termasuk salah satu dari suara instrumen musiknya sendiri. WAOW.

Secara musiknya, menurut gue Radiohead lebih kaya, lebih eksperimental, lebih unik. Coldplay, mungkin lebih fokus ke aliran aslinya, tapi gue suka variasi lagu kayak yang Radiohead bikin.

SECARA MUKA! Naaaaahhhh...Biarpun mata kiri Thom Yorke gak sempurna...Biarpun Thom Yorke cuman 166 cm...Biarpun Thom Yorke sering berewokan n berantakan gak jelas...Biarpun Thom Yorke kalo nyanyi kayak orang kesurupan (liat deh videoklip lawas 'Just', one of my favourites)
Tapi gue lebih suka Thom Yorke jauuuuuuuuhhhhhhh daripada Chris Martin!
MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA XD XD XD XD



*I don't know why but Thom Yorke attracts me so bad that I can't get him out of my mind*

*end*

*peace XP*

*pokoknya gue marah kalo Radiohead kalah sama Coldplay!*
