influences, redux 

Madchester, I think you really are just being stubborn at this point and edit-warring just to try to get the last word, but you're doing so at the expense of the quality of the article's writing. My sentence: "Coldplay's early material has been compared by some reviewers to artists such as Jeff Buckley" is literally true, yet you insist on replacing it with the vaguer and less factual "Coldplay's early material was influenced by the likes of Jeff Buckley." Your latest link for citation 1 (the third you've attempted in 24 hours - why are you on such a mission to insert all these influences at the start of the article? Why is it that important?) has Martin mentioning Jeff Buckley, but Martin is not Coldplay. He does not speak for the entire band.
