Advantages: It's music

Disadvantages: It's boring

Coldplay are a band that would have been called brit pop if they'd been around a few years ago but are now just alternative. In America only old Pink Floyd loving Grandads would be caught dead listening to them.

But they are very easy listening, nad have overtaken The Smiths as depressing music of choice, although they've got a long way to go before they can topple Morrissey and Marr as kings of suicide accompaniment music. Less annoying than Toploader but less raw than The Stereophonics and Travis, Colplay have corned the market in politely angst ridden teens. If Slipknot are too mad and Britney's too sad you can always take the third way with Coldplay. Inoffensive and academic like their frontman, their music has a quiet sorrow that has kept them in the charts and in the public eye.

Although.... perhaps the real reason the band are so well known still has a little something to do with a certain Gwyneth Paltrow's connection? Hmm who can tell.
