I think it's a compliment for Coldplay that I'm usually mistaking this song for one of Pearl Jam.

Coldplay are popular? Like you I miss all commercial TV and radio, because I don't watch or listen to it. Thus, I too like Coldplay. 

I also recommend this to everybody. Turn off your TV and block out all Main Stream Media including most 'News'papers and Magazines. Trust me, I'm a doctor.

U2 lost their edge (ha ha) after the Joshua Tree because in the beginning they were on a journey to find GOD! After finding success, riches, fame, everything, suddenly, GOD didn't seem to matter much, at least in their songwriting.

Haha, good one... Though i like both Coldplay and Donnie Darko (the movie that is).... {#Lol}

Although i have to admit that i grew tired of Coldplay's most recent album (Viva La Vida) rather quickly.

And I remember at school when it was considered a crime to admit liking Duran Duran. Now it's acceptable. I'm sure that one day it'll be "OK" to like Coldplay. Personally I'm happy not to be trendy and I like them now. This first album is superb. I voiced this opinion to a student a few years ago and winced when he condescendingly said "well it's very easy to listen to". I suppose I might well have said something like that as a student. Fortunately I care much less what other people think these days.

Music lies in the ear of the beholder...I love this bloody Brit band and this song as well for that matter!

Unfortunately for you, it belongs on Radio Paradise just as much as any other artist on here does. Sounds like this isn't the radio station for you.

I, and it seems most other listeners, happen to like Coldplay.
