As we all know, experiencing music is an entirely subjective experience - one man's Stone Roses is another man's Guns 'n' Roses.
Speking personally, I loathe Coldplay with a passion you can only dream of. The wobbly 'I'm so sensitive' voice, the sub-sixth form poetry lyrics, the plodding arrangements, I just think they are ghastly but ...
that's just my opinion - which you asked for.
To compensate, try 'If You Could Read My Mind' by Gordon Lightfoot, to hear how it should be done - again in my opinion, but i do know what I'm talking about - trust me!
