In case anyone's remotely bothered, I do listen to a myriad of artists and bands besides Coldplay, so I won't have the music police knocking at my door, ever.
I can understand Firky's despair at a perceived crap band. I feel annoyance about Oasis. I once had an argument with an art-student about who the gretest guitarists were. He was all for Noel Gallagher and I asked him about Hendrix, Santana, Zappa, Wes Montgomery, Rory Gallagher, Jeff Buckley and others.
He said they couldn't be that good cos he's never heard of them
And the little sod was in a band, too.

I missed this before - have you been watching Trainspotting?
So you have a problem with the MOR'ness of them?
Now aren't there pleanty of other bands who are just as bad or is it because Coldplay are so well known?
I mean Travis went a bit like that didn't they? My 45 year old Born Again Christian Aunt with 'The Man Who' on in their fuckin Saab Estate

where the fuck did they dream up the name "coldplay" - what is "coldplay" or a "coldplay" does it mean anything? - Or is it two incredably mundane words just shoved together for no apparant reason at all. I mean at least Snow Patrol conjurs up an image, but 'coldplay'....
wankers...

but wee Frannie didn't fancy himself as Jesus or the new Bono, which for me is the most hatefull aspect of them. Some middle of the road ballad writer wittering on about saving the world. At least U2 had the grace to sound a bit lively on their first few albums.
Coldplay are the top of the pyramid of bands that subtely exploited the notion of 'indie' and replaced it with 'proper songs with guitars' for dads and mums and kids with a sensitive side.
Martin does what I never thought possible and is actually a worse singer than Jones. If he could get remotely near to pulling off falsetto it would still be bad but his vocal chords are bad enough for the Coalition Of The Willing to invade him.
There is actually a website called Make Coldplay History, although when I went there it was just a frontpage.
I guess what really irks is their success when those who perform excellently in the same genre are so ignored. I think of the Twilight Singers and the Delgados most of all, although granted the latter are no longer together. Coldplay's success is remeniscent of Channel 4's treatment of Friends when they could buy Seinfeld instead.

Dear god, some people have toooo much time on their hands.
In total agreement with your Seinfeld theory, mind.
Imagine what could of been with Jerry et al.

Init! Everything about them is just an annoyance.
Even their covers are shit, ffs. Imagine being given a coldplay album and being told to to the art for it.... I'd fucking scream!! There is nothing inspirational in their work.
Fuck coldplay.
