Gah!
That new Coldplay single seems to be on endless rotation and it's bugging me. Not because I hold any particular hatred for them (I'm indifferent, they're just a bit dull in my view), but because the opening riff sounds exactly like another song - and I can't bloody well remember what it is or who it's by!

Anyone know what I'm talking about? And can anyone enlighten me as to the song? *EDIT* the song that is being ripped off, that is.

Which one?
They've had a couple of lawsuits (notably one from Joe Satriani. Who's possibly even more of a prick than Chris Martin, if that's possible) over Viva La Vida...

Dunno what it's called
All I know is it seems to be their latest poptastic hit record.

Next time I hear it I'll listen to who the bloody artist is more closely.
