What's really depressing about Coldplay is the number of records they sell.

I had a bf who listened to Leonard Cohen. I dropped him like a hot brick.

K T Tunstall has a silly cocky grin on her face the whole time - how can she be depressing?
Quite like her though.

I listen to a lot of jazz as well.
