strong affinities between both those tracks and Coldplay in terms of rock as template imo but "bands with guitars" is a poor construction because plenty of "bands with guitars" have v. little relationship to the rock template

disagreements over metal aside, it's true that PiL represent a path not followed by UK alt-rock, for better or worse.

I'm going to have to post a Cardiacs song aren't I, no point delaying the inevitable. Compare this to Coldplay and I'll cut you

xxp I suppose shoegazey bands did the clouds of guitar thing, but they didn't have the dub underpinnings nor the metallic sheen. Pretty unique, though I suppose Joy Division had something sort of similar going on (though it's difficult to listen to JD with fresh ears IMO)

The Durutti Column were the really revolutionary Hannett band
