Well then you'll LOVE Death Cab for Cutie...
LOL! Yeah, I'm not exactly blown away by DCFC- but they don't bug me as much as Coldplay. Coldplay's songs are just so... whiney.
DCFC are just bland.... IMHO, of course.
Beej, I really want to propogate the term Irish Greg used: Coldplay & their ilk are "Sad Bastard Music".
Rod, I really wish Mike wasn't a RegularGuy, because then I could respond, "How can I in good conscience flame someone who's already flaming?"
But he's not really flaming so I can't really respond that way...dammit!
But Mike, here's a list of my usual suspects in the Coldplay-clone lineup. All these guys are from the UK & I honestly can't think of any that aren't. Maybe you can.
Travis
Keane
Aqualung
Snow Patrol
Embrace
