"Coldplay are influenced by Radiohead, who in turn are influenced by REM, who in turn were influenced by the Velvet Underground, who were influenced by BO DIDDLEY... and after BO DIDDLEY you just can't go further back. It is an exercise in failure to try and find an influence of BO DIDDLEY's, because at the time, (and before his time), there was nothing like him..." Zarik Khan, Consequence of Sound music blog, consequenceofsound.net, June 2008
