Edited on Mon Aug-22-05 10:28 AM by XNASA
..Kraftwerk's "Computer World" and used it for the song "Talk" off of their new CD?

It does me. That was one of my favorite hooks of all time, and now....

It's tainted. Forever.

:cry:

3. It bothers me somewhat that Coldplay exists at all.
I haven't heard the song you speak of, but nicking a Kraftwerk hook is just some chump-league shit, right there.

8. It's so blatantly obvious.
What's even worse is that Coldplay (and by 'Coldplay' I mean, whatshisface, you know, the guy married to Gwyneth Paltrow) cites Kraftwerk as a major influence on the new disc. Major influence? Dude, you ripped them off, plain as can be.

:rant:

6. Just like Elastica ripped off that hook from Wire
about ten years ago, in that song "Connection". Wire just reunited and did a world tour a year or so ago. Where's Elastica now?
