Here are jus two examples:
"Put Sufjan Stevens on
and we'll play your favorite song
Chicago bursts to life
in your sweet smile remembers you"
----Hands Open, Snow Patrol
"If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?
Forget what we're told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden that's bursting into life"
-----Chasing Cars, Snow Patrol
"I came along
and wrote a song for you
what a thing to do
and it was called yellow"
Yellow- Coldplay
Now, either of those lyrics top anything EVER written by Mr. Paltrow and Coldplay.
It just seems like Gary Lightbody is light years ahead of Chris Martin lyrically. His lyrics just seem to have much more depth and real emotion.
Agree or not?

I don't really like either.
I think most Coldplay sounds the same
and
I think that Snow Patrol's music is very bland...
but that was one Coldplay song, an old one at that
and the Snow Patrol songs you wrote down are pretty much the only ones a lot of these people have heard of. They'll say they love the band, but they only love those two songs. I think they both aren't bad with the lyrics and they are talented, but they are just so... boring. I don't mean to offend anyone, I just thought I'd give my opinion...

Uhh, okay I commend your use of the Sujan Stevens Lyric. HE is an amazing songwriter. But the other lyrics you listed are completely one-dimensional. Why would "if i lay here" top an entire band's body of work? Don't get me wrong here, i love Snow Patrol, but i have to say, I love Coldplay more.

wow guys.. is this what we've become - snowpatrol as a favourite band appalls me, for anyone to even consider listening to their utter drivel genuinely depresses me. why are these kinds of bands our musical yardstick? there is so much incredible music out there written by bands and ppl who are so genuinely talented, creative and original, why are we not listening to them and giving them our time and our support and our money? everytime this piece of **** band gets played on the radio another much more deserving band misses out. and everytime we go to their concerts or buy their horseshit albums we support mediocrity and deny it to the many creative, talented and hardworking artists who work and play their arses off - not for money or fame or recognition - but for the music itself. and what happens when up and coming musicians and fans of music hear nothing but this kind of **** day in day out..? think about it.. we all lose so much by listening to this nonense, it hurts us all and robs us of the awe and satisfaction and appreciation of truly great music. it dumbs us down and helps turn us into a 'plantation' for commercial, brain-numbing, watered down shite. and to those who know better it makes us look ******* stupid. im sorry, this is an elitist thing to say but i cant take anyone who likes this kind of music seriously as a person. not only do i resent you for supporting undeserving turds to the detriment of the bands and music i love and support - you're now suspect and i judge you instantly as irrational, boring, tasteless and stupid. and im rarely proven wrong, stupid people like stupid music and snowpatrol is more than stupid, theyre like a bad joke that has gone way way too far.

Using one song as an example is hardly enough for you to make your case. So you prefer one band over another, good for you, you have preferences, just like the rest of. However, a difference in writing styles is hardly enough to state that one band is better than another.
Just a note, I don't really like either band.

SNOW PATROL SUCKS PENIS. COLDPLAY IS OVERRATED BUT STILL BETTER THAN PENIS SUCKING SNOW PATROL.
