◇ image via WikipediaColdplay
Coldplay is a Pop and Rap act. Their sound grew out of Chasing Pavements, Toploader, 12 Memories, Day 'n' Nite and Everyday Robots. Those roots explain a lot about how Coldplay arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Keane, OneRepublic, U2, The Killers and Oasis, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Shearwater, Feather, Tom Odell, Plan B and No Hay Igual, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 205 connections around Coldplay, reaching back through Chasing Pavements and forward to Shearwater. Follow any of those threads to keep travelling the influence between bands and genres on Starverb.
