I never understood the love or the hate for Coldplay. I think the best quote I ever read about them was "Coldplay is the musical representation of the color beige".

Chris Martin's vouce annoys me like no other. "Fix you" is in my opinion one of the worst, whiniest songs ever. I can't stand it.

If Thom Yorke forgot to write a good song because he was too busy banging anorexic girls.

I have the same reaction to just about everything from Smashing Pumpkins and a good chunk of System of a Down's songs. And yet, I also like classic Queensryche stuff. Go figure.

There are far worse songs about trying to change your partner, which is still a better theme than desperately trying to convince someone they should be your partner. But a catchy tune can make up for some pretty pathetic lyrics.

According to Coldplay themselves, in a lyrical tour de force, “it was all yellow”
