Do you like Coldplay? I do. I’m not a huge fan but, I bought a copy of “A Rush Of Blood To The Head”. I have heard Coldplay’s music described as “Prozac Rock” but, according to this from Reuters UK, a more apt description might be “Nyquil Rock”.
Britons like a dose of rock band Coldplay to help them fall asleep, a survey from hotel chain Travelodge found on Monday.
The band, whose frontman Chris Martin says he avoids caffeine and alcohol and is known for a lifestyle that is anything but rock ‘n roll, came top in a poll of music choices to help you nod off.
Other artists chosen for their slumber-inducing qualities were James Blunt, Snow Patrol, Take That and Norah Jones…
The survey was carried out among 2,248 people.
I realize that “Rock & Roll”, that term, means different things to different people. Ask ten people what “Rock & Roll” is, and you’re liable to get ten different answers. But, I don’t think that too many people would include “sedative” in their personal definition of “Rock & Roll”.
Lulling people to sleep is nice, even admirable but, isn’t about time that we stop referring to Coldplay as a “rock band”?
