    To me, Coldplay is entirely uninteresting. Their music is either completely forgettable, or downright embarrassing.

    "Yellow" is one of the best rock songs of the past 20-some years

    Dave Matthews does absolutely 0 for me...

    However Satellite is an awesome tune

    Report back. It seems that his voice is much lower and over the hill but see what you think after seeing him live

    I wouldn't say I hate Journey, but there was a time I did. I always liked Lovin', Touching, Squeezing, though, and later, Be Good to Yourself.

    I went on a family cruise ( I am NOT a cruise guy) I was bored and not enjoying the crowds, There was a BM tribute guy who played one night and he was great, great like that time I saw Redd Kross at the Fillmore. Completely flipped my switch

    I would be more on the thumbs up side for Manilow just because I've always been a sucker for sappy love songs, and he had some good ones. Copa Cabana was not oner of those, though. Hated it.

    I have the same perspective as yours on the band, but one song of theirs - “strawberry swing” is a favorite. West African guitars, shimmering Brian Eno productiion in a Coldplay song? I like it even better covered by Frank Ocean, who pours on the nostalgia in his singing.
