Yes! 100% agree on Elbow like, what is that!?

I’ve always thought Sugababes was a bit of a lame name

I thought you would be supportive of a local band Zizu....they are nowhere close to a Coldplay wanna be band either. Guy Garvey will never be as annoying as Chris Martin

Horses for courses - I, like millions, will never understand the adoration for him but I totally respect those who feel that way, I just personally find him pretty annoying and arrogant.

I liked Coldplay's first album a lot but other than The Scientist, I have not been a fan of any their later offerings.

I know a lot of people who went to the concert at the Etihad recently who said it was the best gig they had ever been to but they're just not for me.
