According to the Indo article:

Andy Gill: ‘Why I hate Coldplay’

Pompous, mawkish, and unbearably smug, Coldplay have conquered the charts with the sonic equivalent of wilted spinach, argues Andy Gill. And in the process, they’ve poisoned an entire generation of British rock music
Thank you, Andy.
