My name is Rob and I am a musician / furniture desighner-maker. I like Motzart, I like Patsy Cline, I like Cheryl Crow, I like Don Henly, and I like Coldplay, a lot!! Was Coldplay even nominated for any Grammys? This would be hilarious if it was'nt so sad. But then Radiohead (who I saw Live At Thunderbird Stadium. U.B.C. Vancouver B.C. Canada. and are just amazing in all respects) never had that huge pop following like U2. Coldplay on the other hand has cracked that market, despite the truth of their music. It's hard to listen to a hard song, unless you wrap it in a heavenly melody, complete with full symphonic effects.

A lot of people will not listen to music that makes them "feel". I liked John Legend, he was way cool!! I liked Kelly Clarkson. But Coldplay can make you feel happy / sad so fast... I remeber something from the Bio page about (not verbatim) "it's hard to write a really up song". I just feel these songs are straight from the haert and as we all know that is where we all live, whether you know it or not. In the Heart live all feelings. I live to feel, to feel the wonder and majesty of life and this universe.

I am completely awastruck by the sheer beauty of the melodies of Chris Martin / Coldplay. The only other songwriters in history who Coldplay belong with would be Lennon / Mcartney, and The Bee Gees. Yes, I said the Bee Gees.

There is something so infectious about these songs. the melodies are so heartfelt, talent like this only comes once in a rare while. All I am trying to say is that Chris Martin will go down as one of the great composers of all time.

This guy, and this band have it all...AND I MEAN ALLLLLLL!!!!!! My fav tune White Shadows Is playing, what a f...ing masterpiece! This band is so good. I am so inspired by these guys. I am learning all of their tunes on piano. It is such an adventure to discover each songs structure, not to mention fun!!

So anyway, I ain't no music critic but I think someone dropped the ball there at the awards tonight, I mean Coldplay should have one a truckload.

Maybe if Motzart, Nat King Cole and John Lennon were hading out the gold, maybe then Coldplay would have walked awy with Grammy.

It would have been a no brainer!!!!!!!!!
