Ive never even heard of Blue in the u s of a (not yet :? ), where both muse and coldplay have a decent fanbase here (viva la vida is my musical guilty pleasure). Then again, I have the same greivances about what "music authorities" over here believe to be good, and if what arts history says is true, then what is popular wont neccessarily be what is remembered*.
