I asked Mike to play Coldplay in the car yesterday and he was really excited. He loves Coldplay and I usually can only tolerate a handful of songs ("Trouble", "Clocks", "Talk", and now "The Hardest Part"). I wanted to hear the similarities between R.E.M. and Coldplay in "The Hardest Part". FUNNY that we should miss seeing Stipe and Coldplay perform together the very same day.
Oh, this is random: I hit 10,000 miles on my car while listening to "Clocks" three years ago this month. Very special milestone for me. Great entry about the song.
Just a quick response, I don't necessarily think Coldplay and REM sound like one another. Instead, I think what REM was to rock back in the day is similar to what Coldplay is to rock/pop today. I think that's more along the lines of what I was getting at. Either way, thanks for the comment!
