Why are people so quick to jump on the "music is all a matter of opinion" train ?
while personal taste does come into things to an extent, there is, most definitely "good music" and "shit music". Coldplay sailed to the top on the general belief that they were making good music, even though the majority of their songs are pretty uninspired. Poor lyrics, godawful live performances and stealing other artist's chord progressions and melodies are a few concrete reasons to dislike them.
I'd agree with spore that "Fix you" is a nice little tune, and that not all of their music is totally awful. But it has to be remembered that coldplay are very limited musicians, and their music is by no means "srs bsnss"
