. I like Coldplay. I like Coldplay a lot. I've heard a couple of people state that to say you like Coldplay is to be musically weak. Everyone says they like Coldplay because it's easy to say that. They are a pretty mellow sound with lots of hooks and they're decent people . . . especially for a bunch of British guys (har har). I've long held that I really don't care what other people think about it; if I like it, I like it. I liked Good Charlotte for a while back when everyone else did. Sure, they weren't musically deep, but I liked them. No other reason. I liked Dashboard Confessional before most people did. Then the 14 year old girls of the country discovered him and it was just me and a bunch of 14 year old girls that looked at Chris Carrabba and thought "wow, I totally understand." I still like a lot of emo music. I don't listen to it exclusively (anymore [I went through an emo phase, I think, a little bit before it was trendy and marketable]), but I enjoy it every once in a while.I think maybe my problem is the fact that I'm a sucker for a good hook. This is probably why I like All-American Rejects (first CD, mostly), Jimmy Eat World, and liked James Blunt (for the shortest time possible).
So. I consider Coldplay to be one of the top bands in my head. I don't really care if everyone else feels the same way.
That's up to them.
