By the way, was anyone else annoyed to read Neil McCormick's review that Coldplay "sound like Radiohead with Paul McCartney as a frontman"? Coldplay are essentially an amalgum of all the worst elements of Radiohead, Pink Floyd, Oasis, U2 and the Beatles. Of course they do.

You forgot to put the sound grass makes when it grows before Coldplay.

I know. I've quadrupled in weight since I first heard them, my girlfriend left me when I started writing angry internet reviews of them, and my six pack has completely disappeared. However, I think that this band disgrace my country, and having devoted my life to working hard for a future without living in fear on hearing the brain numbing remixes of "Clocks", I am very unlikely to stop.
I wish I could. Pray for me.

A pretty good amalgum of Coldplay, but lets see how they rank quality wise:

Beatles>Pink Floyd>Radiohead>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>(an average band)>>>>>>>>>>>>(a crap band)>>>>>>Oasis>U2>>>>>>>>(**** did this band actually get a recording contract)>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Coldplay.
