I love the jam but this isn't anywhere near their best.
The snow patrol track is just one of those tunes that every songwriter wishes they'd written.
It's quite brilliant

Snow Patrol are overrated, the epitome of bland 'indie' rock.

Ghosts version on The Gift, wins

Could take or leave either of these tbh. Probably leave.

I don't think they are particularly overated, and there's certainly blander bands out there that have had much more success. I'm not a fan of them, but this track is very good.

I will go with they are shite route.

Sometimes a song is just very good and resonates with a lot of people, people like to belt it out at a concert, in the pub or in the car. It gets played a lot and then the musos jump in. But it's populist crap, there is no 7 minute solo using the Mixolidian scale. I much prefer that Estonian prog Rock band no one has heard of. They don't use a fucking A chord for a start, might as well vote for some twat playing a cymbal.

I'm on the fence on this one:-)
