I remember seeing U2 at Live Aid and saying to myself, "it's all over now, every frat boy in America is going to love this band"Bono had the world in his hand at that moment. U2 has put out two great records. "The Joshua Tree" and "Actung Baby". One very good record in "The Unforgettable Fire" and two good records: "How To Dismantle..." and "War". Plus they have many great singles/songs. Coldplay has one very good record out. Plus one very good single, that's it!

Don't get me wrong folks, I like Coldplay, I just don't think they are in the same league as U2 or The Police, The Stones, Led Zep, Pink Floyd, Radiohead or The Beatles for that matter. Some of the reviews I've read have differ and it's quite annoying how a PR campaign can dictate what or where a reviewer will go.

Blue Merle is the name of the annoying clone band.
