"\r\nAt last night&amp;apos;s free Coldplay show in London, frontman Chris Martin joked that his band&amp;apos;s song &amp;quot;God Put a Smile on Your Face&amp;quot; sounded an awful lot like Radiohead&amp;apos;s &amp;quot;2 + 2 = 5.&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Sorry, we shouldn&amp;apos;t be talking about plagirism,&amp;quot; he joked. &amp;quot;Ignore that!&amp;quot;\r\nIn fact, Coldplay have been chased by people accusing them of lifting liberally from Radiohead, something that Martin owns up to in the current issue of Rolling Stone. &amp;quot;Sometimes I feel like they cleared a path with a machete, and we came afterward and put up a strip mall,&amp;quot; he says. &amp;quot;I would still give my left ball to write anything as good as OK Computer.&amp;quot;\r\nThe line can certainly be drawn to a handful of their songs (especially from their first two albums), but can the same thing be said of their videos?
