I think you'll find that was Coldplay.

No, it was The Smiths...

ColdPlay were voted the most insufferable band ever

I thought the very idea of Coldplay influencing anyone other than lift porters and dental receptionists absurd enough to imply a degree of sarcasm.

Coldplay "First Report From Their Awesome UK Tour".
Travis in gig of the year shocker.
Green in "World's most radical rock stars" shocker.

Certainly modern music has been influenced by the likes of Louis armstrong, George gershwin, etc, but I reckon the main one was Cole porter.

It logically should have gone to John Squire or Gary M. :-/

Anyway, there isn't much good music press for us Brits. Our traditional sources are fickle and sensationalist, and the American's are biased arses who denounce nearly every UK record because its an import and it cost them more money...
