Travis is better than Coldplay.

Breakdown of albums:

Good Feeling: A very good high school angst album, before they developed their 'signature' sound, and Fran still had good hair.

The Man Who: A classic album. The opening track is one of my favourite songs, and the "hidden track" deserves to be a single in its own right. This was their best b-side period, although there are only so many singles you should be able to whack "baby one more time" onto the end of.

The Invisible Band: You can tell they are getting weak here. The Australasian Tour Edition has a crappy song by Andy and a great song by Dougie on it.

12 Memories: The band almost broke up after this because of Neil's spa pool incident, and the fact that everyone wanted to get married and have kiddlings. Apart from "Re-offender", "Love Will Come Through" and "Paperclips", I like to pretend that this record was never pressed. You can tell they were scraping the bottom of the barrel here.

The Boy With No Name: An excellent record and fine return to form. Fran finally got rid of that retarded hat, and got a haircut, and stopped preaching because nobody wanted a lecture, they wanted a melody and a snappy chorus, dammit.

All of Travis' music videos are a bit wacky, which I also appreciate.
