History YMMV / ColdPlay

* {{Hatedom}}: The Guardian's entire readership, judging by the comments on Coldplay-related news stories.

** PARADISE. It's a DaftPunk level EarWorm. No, [[UpToEleven maybe a little bit higher]].

* FaceOfTheBand: Chris Martin, to the extent that people sometimes call ''him'' "[[IAmNotShazam Coldplay]]." And it's easy to see why. A lot of people think [[PrettyCoolGuy Coldplay is a pretty cool guy.]]

* * EpicRiff: Quite a few...notably, "Clocks", "Viva La Vida", [[SampledUp "Talk"]], "Yellow", and "Charlie Brown" (the latter even ''before'' its album was released!).

* DreamTeam: worked with both KylieMinogue and {{Rihanna}}
* EvenBetterSequel: ''A Rush of Blood to the Head''.
* * EpicRiff: Quite a few...notably, "Clocks", "Viva La Vida", [[SampledUp "Talk"]], "Yellow", and "Charlie Brown" (the latter even ''before'' its album was released!).
** And "Violet Hill"!
** "Paradise" is this in Australia due to its use in promotion in relation to the show {{Revenge}}

* RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap: Many critics only started to like the band after ''Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends'', and in particular the release of the single "Violet Hill".

* BaseBreaker: ''Mylo Xyloto''. So far, fans have either fallen in love with the new, poppier direction or lambasted Coldplay for "going mainstream." (Whether or not this will change when the album is actually released remains to be seen.)
* CrowningMomentOfFunny:
** Pretty much the entirety of [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fXSovfzyx28 the video for "Life in Technicolor II"]].
** The [[ElvisPresley Elvis]] impersonators playing violins in the Christmas Lights music video.
*** Doubly so when you realise that one of them is Simon Pegg.
** An already funny scene from SaturdayNightLive parodying the fact that {{Adele}}'s ''Someone Like You'' is used for TearJerker situations was made all the more sweeter when they as the musical guests for the night, were [[TheCameo cameoed]] in.

* RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap: Critics seem to agree that ''Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends'', and in particular the release of the single "Violet Hill", was when they really kicked off. There is a large portion of critics (and fans) that agree ''A Rush of Blood to the Head'' was their MagnumOpus.

* {{Hatedom}}: If the ''[[The40YearOldVirgin 40-Year-Old Virgin]]'' joke wasn't enough, just check out the hate they get on the Internet. The Satriani plagiarism case didn't do anything to help, so now they have a section of Satriani's fans hating them for the alleged plagiarism, even though the case was settled out of court and probably didn't have enough evidence to go too far in court.
