Coldplay frontman Chris Martin has confessed to something musicologists and fans alike have thought for years - the rockers borrow heavily from Radiohead.
During a free Coldplay show in London on Monday night (16Jun08), frontman Chris Martin went so far as to joke about the fact, suggesting to fans that his band's God Put a Smile on Your Face sounded an awful lot like Radiohead's 2+2=5. He then quipped, "Sorry, we shouldn't be talking about plagiarism. Ignore that!"
It isn't the first time Martin has commented on Coldplay's links to their fellow British stadium rockers. In a new Rolling Stone magazine article, the singer says, "Sometimes I feel like they (Radiohead) cleared a path with a machete, and we came afterward and put up a strip mall. I would still give my left ball to write anything as good as (beloved Radiohead album) OK Computer."
