Many music critics have compared One Republic to both U2 and Coldplay.  That's not bad company to be in, especially when you hear about the band's long road to success.  Founding members Ryan Redder and Zach Filkins got together in their hometown of Colorado Springs in 2002.  After moving to Los Angeles, they experienced many ups and downs.  They signed and lost a record deal and like a lot of acts these days, found fans on MySpace.  That lead to another record deal and world-wide success!  Their CD "Dreaming Out Loud" is great and "Stop and Stare" is one of my favorites!
