Coldplay-off 42 items | updated Apr 6 2009
March Madness is under way, and we’re all about co-opting your excitement, so we’ve created our own tournament. The 2009 Coldplay-off. We’ve taken 16 bands that sound like they ripped off Coldplay, and 16 legendary bands that sound like Coldplay ripped them off, and we’re pitting them against each other.
Every day there are two games: one pitting two of the world’s best bands that Coldplay ripped off (think Radiohead or U2) against each other, and one matching up two of the world’s worst Coldplay spawns (think the Fray or Snowpatrol—but don’t think it for long). Then you vote for the winner in the comment section—vote early and often.
