Radiohead are similar to Coldplay imo, not the music but they seem to be reverred for their Stadium indulgences. If Chris Martin had written " Let Down " he would be called a snivelling, self pitying sh*t but as Tom Yorke wrote it, it is genius. Seems different rules are applied to different people.
I am sorry Mr B but that is musical snobbery of a staggering proportion. The facts are Coldplay have made some superb songs and I know " trendy " people rubbish them but to write off all 6 albums as trash is a little unfair imo.
