Coldplay vs. Kraftwerk

Although it was reported that Coldplay‘s Chris Martin received permission from Kraftwerk frontman Ralf Hutter to use the guitar riff from their 1981 track “Computer Love” I still believe it deserves a post.

Kraftwerk – “Computer Love” (1981)
Coldplay – “Talk” (2005)

    Coldplay is so damned overrated. By the way ; ever compared Led Zeppelin’s When The Levee Breaks with U2′s Bullet The Blue Sky ?

    See also “In My Place” and compare with Ride’s “Dreams Burn Down” (1990)
