There would be no Coldplay without U2. There would be no Jeff Buckley without U2. Most "alternative" bands would not sound the way they sound if U2 had never existed.

You're right, though, I should have mentioned The White Stripes.

I'm not totally sure what their superhero counterpart would be, though.

Hmmm.

Someone gritty and real and classic. I already used Wolverine, so I don't know where to go with it.

OK.

The White Stripes = Thor. Seemingly innocuous duo who uses a tool of the gods (Thor's hammer = guitar) to invoke one of the gods (the Blues/Thor) to become something much greater than themselves. Classic, gritty and real.

I'm in a superhero place right now. Just read Neil Gaiman's 1602 last week, and new episodes of JLU are currently running. They're all up in my headspace.

I'm not sure if their would be a Coldplay without U2, but I also don't think they're a hybrid of U2 either. I am not sure what Coldplays inspiration is. They have an original sound to me.

You totally lost me with Jeff Buckley and U2. I can't hear the relationship. I think there would not be a Buckley if there wasn't indie or progressive punk, but U2 was neither of those. Even Led Zeppelin has more to do with Buckley than U2. I think Jeff was more like his father Tim, in the music genre sense.
