radiohead virtually did, same with nine inch nails. wilco have been streaming their albums on their website before their release since 2002. everyone's been copying radiohead, its going to become a really widespread practice soon enough. even metallica's getting in on it.

coldplay are good under their singles. for some reason people always like all their mediocre songs but ignore awesome ones like "god put a smile upon your face" and "don't panic".

don't panic is an amazing song, probably my favourite coldplay song to be honest.

i know, it's basically the most epic thing they've done despite the fact its barely over 2 minutes long. oh, and i forgot to mention "spies". it's weird but definitely one of my favorites.

I like that Talk song :)

that doesnt mean that in my opinion they are good, just because they have sold loads of albums.
