Coldplay Sucks the Crackpipe

Someone here the other day was extolling Coldplay, and "Clocks" in particular. Well, I heard the song last night and was struck by how weak it is. Coldplay is this decade's Smiths. Plodding, monotonal music for stoners, those on downers, or the anti-depressant crowd. Pink Floyd without the range, skill, ability or virtuosity. A radio station here sent me an e-mail about how they are giving away tickets to the show; I sent them one back saying that's not good enough - they would have to pay me.

I picked up the album, along with NIN, Garbage, Audioslave, Oasis and the White Stripes on Tuesday. Of those, I'm liking Oasis the best, though I've only heard most of them once. So far, I can't get into the Coldplay album, though I did like A Rush of Blood to the Head. I'm listening to the White Stripes right now, and I like it quite a bit.
