Coldplay is the most popular band in the world. Their albums are extremely successful in an age where albums are not successful. They have a unique sound that harkens back to “soft” rock, but also incorporate influences such as U2, Kraftwerk, and Pink Floyd. When they hit the scene, they made such an impression they were asked to open for U2. They declined and it has not hurt. In 2008, they scored their biggest hit to date when fewer and fewer people are listening to rock n roll.
Rock n Roll Moment: They turned down an offer to open for U2 believing they were good enough to make it without the exposure a monster tour would bring.
