Simply put I agree with everything you said about Coldplay. They are a go to band when you don’t know what else to listen to because they are amazing no matter what mood you are in. I’m amazed you found a critic that does not like them I am curious about what exactly he didn’t like or if he was even listening to the right band. I agree with them in the sense that not every song they have is a hit though and some are recycled melodies but when they are good they are great. “Fix it” is one of my personal Coldplay favorites, I heard it first during a TV show and it added so much emotion to the scene that otherwise would have been bland. Saying that Coldplay is like U2 is a decent comparison because they both have this large feel to it that you could imagine being perfect at a huge concert. For me though I would say they are very similar to Snow Patrol because they sometimes are like the same band. Sometimes I’ve remembered the name of a song but didn’t know if snow patrol or Coldplay sang it for example “Chasing Cars” by Snow Patrol. Basically it is nearly impossible to dislike Coldplay because there is nothing about them that anyone would want to change because it would ruin their song and their style of music.
