BLADAM - Entry - ColdPlay - Why on earth are they so popular?!

ColdPlay - Why on earth are they so popular?!

At a friend's urging, I decided to give a listen to ColdPlay. I checked out more than half-a-dozen tracks, and I'm honestly baffled as to this group's appeal.

Where's the joy? Any sense of humor? Or even a friggin' smile on their album covers for goodness sake?

Could a ColdPlay fan please clue me in? Is there a specific song I should hear? Is there some magical quality I'm simply missing here?

In the meantime, I'll bop in my chair to Moxy Fruvous, Brave Combo, and other groups that don't take themselves so damn seriously.

Overrated. Go for The Stars (http://www.arts-crafts.ca) instead. But I think I’ve said this already.
