Coldplay is excellent. They fall into a category that my hard core rap friend calls "Whiney Ass Brit Band" These include Oasis, Radio Head, Fools Garden, Travis etc. All among my favorite music. Thus I am dubbed "Whiney Ass Brit Band Love" I almost included the Cure, but lump them in with Mission UK (The Mission in Britain), the Church etc. What should I call them? Whiney ass 80's bands?
