For the record I quite like Coldplay.

Quote "I am afraid that is simply not possible, according to a recent controversial EU regulation that explicitely makes it illegal to like Coldplay. Directive 2004/45/B specifically. You can still buy their records and go to their shows obviously because banning that would not be possible under the free market, unless, of course, they were a Chinese band. Which they aren't. So there you go." -- Metafilter user Funambulist answers the statement: "If people like Coldplay, let them."
