I've got about four of their album of which "Rush Of Blood" is my favorite, I've also seen them live which was very good, must say that the crowd was a lot younger & more attractive than most gigs I go to.
There goes all my Avant credibility.

Same here. I love "Clocks."

Exactly Clocks is a good song.
Not Prog though.

I have only Parachutes, and I bought it for "Trouble". Still love that song.

Coldplay have been showbiz-engineered into an entity that creatively repackages and retails a commercial product ("music") to a large contingent of consumers, who have been social-engineered into buying repackaged commercial product ("music") of the type that Coldplay-like entities retail.
Hey, folks, as long as everyone is happy, I am good with it.

Okay, who untied the Coldplay fans? You know that's an unwritten forum rule.

Yeah, I'm far more 'keen' on Keane..
Tom Chaplin can actually sing, and that band really know how to write a melody, craft a song and deliver incredible choruses. Songs like Atlantic and Bed Shaped knock spots of anything by Coldplay in my opinion.

I would have to know what scale you are determining to judge the sufficiency of the funniness of a joke. As far as I know, there's no upper limit for how much humor the human brain can handle, so even if your joke was completely sufficient in its funniness I could still pile more humor on and it would only make everything better. Or, we could simply postulate that the original joke was infinitely funny, so that any additions would have zero effect on the total funniness level and thus would be entirely superfluous.

I don't believe in unwritten rules. If it's official, then it's a rule. If it's not, then its a social more. Social mores leave a bad taste in my mouth because I associate them with Victorianism, which I despise. So I do my best to break as many of them as possible.

"Written rules" (laws) are more often than not just formalized social conventions of the given society at a given time.
Moreover, should there be a clear lack of sync between a written "rule" and the prevalent "mores" (or the common sense) of the time, such rule will be viewed as a government overreach (and/or stupidity), or an anachronism (and/or oddity), and appropriately ignored by the society in general.
For supporting documentation, Google "stupid laws" or "dumb laws" or "weird laws" or "unrevoked laws".

I think most laws are examples of government overreach. And I don't like most of them, either. I agree with much of your reasoning, however, in the context of this site, we are existing in our online personas in an undemocratic system with rules determined by a small group of people. These rules may or may not reflect the social customs of the time, and are almost certain to contradict some social customs because of the radically pluralistic nature of the site.
