My father loved all genres of music, so when he told me I needed to listen this new band, Coldplay, I was, of course, very skeptical. He often recommended obscure, weird music, so I wasn't convinced I'd be interested. Needless to say, I didn't check it out, but the next time I went home on break from college I heard him playing "A Rush of Blood to the Head", and I've been hooked ever since... :)
