Our final game in the first round of the Bands that Coldplay Ripped Off is a bit of an odd one, but hear us out. It s Peter Cetera vs Peter Gabriel yup, the battle of the Peters. Granted, hearing Coldplay in Peter Gabriel may not be obvious at first, but listen to it, and play around with the key a little in your head, and it starts to get more obvious. Plus Peter jumps on a bicycle and rides it around the stage as he sings starting at 1:15, and that is just plain awesome.
As for the Peter Cetera song, you know in 15 years, you could just drop Chris Martin in for Cetera with the exact same orchestra, the exact same crowd, and the exact same feeling of self-importance, and no one would no the difference
Vote below in the comment section for you who think Coldplay aped the most, and they will move on to the next round. Also, don t be afraid to throw in a sweep the leg joke.
