I personally feel that Coldplay is the new Beatles or Rolling stones of today. But unlike those bands where most people just liked them because it was kewl to like them - coldplay songs touch people ( hence their high fan population). I was beginning to go downhill in my life where as I was not happy anymore but as soon as I started listening to Chris, Jon, Guy and Will- it all changed and the lyrics gave me hope and made me feel on top.
So thanks guys -
I bet im not the only one
Peace :)
