2009 Coldplay-Off Update
Day two is over and it was a close one. In the Bands Coldplay Ripped Off division, (4) Radiohead squeaked by (13) Kraftwerk 8-6. Radiohead will move onto the next round, but Kraftwerk still gets our respect for bringing together two of the most unmelodic things: Germans and early 80 s computers, and still making beautiful music.
In the Bands that Ripped Off Coldplay, (4) Mitch Benn topped (13) Embrace 6-3, even though Douglas tried to vote for Embrace 20 times. People, we have clearly stated, if you want to vote more than once, you have to use more than one screen name.
Today s games feature (2) U2 vs (15) Joe Satriani and (2) Mat Kearney vs (15) Parlotones.

Bands that Coldplay Ripped Off: (4) Radiohead vs. (13) Kraftwerk
Oh my God! (long hand for emphasis) It s Radiohead vs. Kraftwerk. What a game! It s like watching your buddy fist fight his dad or his step dad who raised him from a young age. Sure Radiohead seems like the easy favorite, considering Coldplay is essentially Radiohead for Dummies but don t forget that Chris Martin and company lifted the riff from Kraftwerk s Computer Love for their song Talk.
The videos are below, watch them both, and then vote in the comment section. The band with the most votes will move on to the next round.

Yes, two people voted for Coldplay, but we re not overlooking the fact that they might have just misspelled the Beatles by eight letters.
In the Bands that Ripped Off Coldplay Division, (1) Blue Merle blanked (16) Leeland 16-0. However, Blue Merle was almost disqualified when part way through the game, their youtube video suddenly forbid embedding. Thank God for Imeem, or the Blue Merle would have been DQ d, and would never have received free press from us again.
