It irks me too. I used to like Coldplay... but that was mainly when I was going through the awful Lack of U2 Slump of 2003. Coldplay were simply a good substitute for the band they mimicked.
Bingo! I like Coldplay too but I got into them mainly because they provided a U2 sounding fix in the absence of U2. But please let's not forget where they came from.
My baby brother likes Coldplay but is not into U2 all that much simply because they are in their 40's. He's missing out. I think a lot of the younger folks can't get themselves to admit that the four old men from Ireland are pretty damn good so Coldplay is a good compromise for them I guess.
