Coldplay.

Their music doesn't move me in any way (except to turn it off). Can someone please point out any good bit of any song? I'm willing to try, but everything I've heard for years is just musical mush.

Have you listened to their first few albums? They really went down the soulless pop music route after Viva La Vida IMO

We at least got a goated meme from them…

Coldplay is a band where I can recognize that there is talent, but I just cannot like them. The songs "Clocks," "Yellow," and "Viva la Vida" are good. Outside of those, I just don't like them.

I think it hit different when they were contemporary. They sounded like nothing else on the radio. Ironically their songs were a breath of fresh air. 

Adding on to your three, I'll raise Shiver... especially that riff! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u8XFFTWwSvY

Joe Satriani - If I could fly 

Maybe you find it sounds a little like some other song that came after this one.

Their songs The Scientist and Clocks are emotive and memorable. Besides those they sound like a safe and watered-down mid era Radiohead.

Theres a remix of the song Yellow by Khost and FKYA (no idea who they are) that slaps hard. But thats it.

Coldplay is musical morphine: You're either using it for a reason or you're an addict.
