Replace "A Rush of Blood to the Head" with "Viva la Vida" in the Coldplay post by Mr. Goth Glam, and you've got my feelings for them pegged.
And I usually don't care much for the Smashing Pumpkins, but Mellon Collie was a brilliant record that really showed off what they could do. Especially compared to their next two albums (Adore was a half-baked electro-goth experiment, and Machina an overproduced, indecipherable art-rock mess), it's brilliant.
Oasis' first two albums get the same reaction from me as well.
And as for the Pantera and Megadeth discussions that keep popping up here, I'm standing by everything Megadeth did before "Rust in Peace" and Cowboys from Hell/Vulgar Display of Power for Pantera (never liked Far Beyond Driven). Still, in the end it's gotta be Dream Theater or Kamelot when I want to listen to metal.
