you mentioning pleba is fair game for everyone to make fun of it.
dont tell me you dont know how people feel about coldplay here. you do. theyre the most popular band here, even ahead of u2 because as you can see in everything you know is wrong, a thread that says "adam confirms new album and tour for 2003" that only gets a dozen replies shows interest is not all that high at the moment.
if you would take the time to maybe use your scroll bar (on the right hand side of the screen) you would quickly realize that their is a general fondness of the band.
i, on the other hand, have little use for them, though i do respect them as musicians. and, i do believe they are better than most of the material thats out there, but i still find their music to be perplexingly boring.
