Coldplay was the old Nickelback. That said, I still dig Coldplay's old stuff.
Coldplay was an adult contemporary with top 40 cross over appeal, while Nickelback was a hard rock act with top 40 cross over appeal.
Coldplay and Maroon 5 are closer comparisons here.
"Hard Rock" means corporate Pearl Jam ripoff now.
I feel like people who don't have memories of the 90s miss this. Rock music in the late 80s and into the late 90s was in a Renaissance, and then Clearchannel killed Kurt Kobain, bought out the Chili Peppers and rammed a dozen Nickelback clones down our throats instead.
Correct me I'd I am wrong, but wasn't Nickel back on the same metal label as Slipknot?
