Coldplay

Does anyone actually like them ?

And more importantly: why ?

I mean, I like 'soft' rock music, but I really don't get what makes them so popular, Yellow was a decent song, Clocks was alright, The Scientist was good the first few listens, but what makes them the biggest new band around (or so it seems) ?

Note: I'm not trying to offend anyone here, I'm seriously wondering why people like them, i usually 'get' why bands are considered good, even if I don't agree with it, but Coldplay is just an enigma to me.

well I do like some of their songs, Clocks, Yellow and so on.

But I prefer Third Eye Blind to Coldplay.

They aren't as popular in the UK as they were. Maybe it's just Europe going through the phase?

For some reson they depress me. they just do, really badly aswell.

Dude Clodplay is old! It's done. It was like 9 months ago that they were popular. I like their songs though. Waaaaaaaay better then those wankers from Keane.

i don't like them because the title of their first album makes me nauseous.

they woulda been smart to consider not using a title that would make some people nauseous.

since they sent a big "screw you" to me and all other people who find that sort of thing nauseating; and used that title despite knowing some people would be nauseated by it, i resent Coldplay and will not ever consider listening to their music.
