Why not? Because they were more mainstream? Bullshit reasoning.

Also, as far as I recall, Genesis and ELP were pretty mainstream for a while

Coldplay are a good band in the fact that they have captured the essence and sound of a few great bands and fused that to their own. They may not be THAT special but i enjoy them more than Tool and Dream Theater generally.

I guess. But they sound too much like watered-down U2 meets watered-down Radiohead for my liking. I do really like a few Coldplay songs.

That's true, but I wouldn't say that doesn't seem like an unusual combination. They aren't fully original, but their songs, at least to me, seem powerful and well composed (musical blending and progression). The lyrics and feel aren't bad either. I like them. But they're a band that I feel a deeper level of attraction toward (deeper as in it's hard to explain) compared to Tool and Dream Theater which is more out of respect if you know what I mean.

They are basically that combination, but they do a fair job at it. They arent a bad live band either which gives them a few extra points with me.

Pretty surprised to see Muse so low. And really, portishead have no business being on this list, even if they qualify as Rock they only had one single album out this decade. Bob Dylan made me lol even more

Why? Love and Theft and Modern Times were both highly accalimed albums.

Both were also decent sellers. Dylan could even be a little higher, though I'm OK with his current position.

Coldplay should be 3rd like in the on site list, don't know how the hell they're so low, how are the white stripes higher than them? What is wrong with you people?
