I am from south carolina, and i can tell u that nothing coldplay has put out or probalby will ever put out will sound like country.

 

JackD391, I'm a sandlapper myself and I pretty much agree with you... certainly none of their original material even sniffs what is considered country music in my experience. However, I saw them perform Johnny Cash' - I Walk the Line, on their 2006 tour. They sounded somewhat country then, but I'm sure true country fans would have thrown tomatos at them!

 

It's an entirely diff. sound and studying doesnt really do any justice to any music, u have to hear it for urself constantly and believe me i hear it everyday at work and have heard it my entire life.

 

I hear it way more than I'd like as well (at work)... I have never grown to appreciate country music, much to the dismay of some of my friends and co-workers. Country music just leaves me unaffected... I don't hate it, but it doesn't speak to me at all. It seems to rely on gimmicky lyrics and predictable formulas. It mostly connotes a lifestyle with which I can't relate either.

 

As for my favs (and I'll confess they're embarassingly predictable):
