I don't hate Coldplay! I think you'll find me upthread saying I like their first four albums, to degrees. But I really, really don't like the last three, because they are so shameless in their triangulation. They're the Clintons of Rock.

They're so inoffensive it becomes an easy target. I don't hate them but their fans are very strange, at least the one I've met. I don't know if they don't listen to that much music or everything they listen falls in the same line but they honestly believe they're such a cool, innovative band. Come on, they're pretty much playing dadrock.

I like dadrock! There's nothing wrong with dadrock. It's the unctuous inoffensiveness that gets under my skin. They're like Maroon 5 with a delay pedal.

I never said there was anything wrong with dadrock. But dadrock is not innovative, cool music. It takes once innovative cool music, digests it and makes it acceptable for everyone to enjoy in the background.
If there concerts are anything similar to what they did on the superbowl, though. The venue owner would do better selling lattes than beers.

The venue owners would do better selling balloon animals.
