One of the seminal bands in the piano-driven Britrock world,[lastfm link_type="artist_info"] Coldplay[/lastfm] has undoubtedly influenced a number of modern bands. In terms of heartfelt lyrics, showmanship, and dynamically-constructed melodies, Coldplay is one-of-a-kind.

While some of the bands like [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]The Script[/lastfm] and[lastfm link_type="artist_info"] Snow Patrol [/lastfm]are well-know, there a couple (like an R&B artist) that we wouldn’t expect to make our list of the Top 10 Artists That Were Inspired By Coldplay.

Fans of some of these bands but never heard Coldplay? Don’t miss Coldplay’s exclusive performance from the legendary stage of New York’s Ed Sullivan Theater for Live on Letterman.

Watch the entire concert live on Tuesday, September 20 at 8pm ET/ 5pm PT, right here. Presented by AT&T, rethink possible.
