Do you guys like Travis aswell? They are similar sounding British band.

funny, that is exactly what I was thinking about. I wasn't at Glasto but watched it live on the BBC. Both Travis and Coldplay played amazing sets at Glasto the years before they made it big. Goosebumps on your arms good. For Travis it was Driftwood that made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up and it was Yellow for Coldplay.
Then, they both went to the States and had some success and came back with slicker albums and less passion on stage. It happens all around so it isn't really particular to them but it is hard not to compare their current feel to the memories of those emerging moments.
That said, bands like Coldplay and Travis are the kind that are still going to be around in 10 years if they want to be.
