Coldplay Accused of Plagiarism Again

Chris Martin, and his band Coldplay are being accused of plagiarism for the third time. This claim comes from the 1970s artist Cat Stevens, who changed his name to Yusuf Islam when he became a Muslim. Yusuf claims:

"There’s been this argument about Coldplay stealing this melody from Joe Satriani, but, if you listen to it, it’s mine! It’s the ’Foreigner Suite.’"

Last June, the New York act Creaky Boards alleged the song was close to their tune "The Songs I Didn’t Write."

A rep for Coldplay said about the new claim:

"We have not commented previously about the claims, and there will be no comment about this one."

Chris Martin recently told Rolling Stone:

"We’re definitely good, but I don’t think you can say we’re that original. I regard us as being incredibly good plagiarists."

Coldplay would probably be filing suit against anyone using their music, so if they borrowed from another artist, they should pay up.
