1. X&Y (Low, square one, x&y)
2. Viva La Vida (violet hill, strawberry swing, cemeteries of london)
3. A Rush of blood to the head (politik, warning sign)
4. Parachutes (don't panic, high speed)
let's not talk about their later albums

Its a shame they sold out...With just their first 4 albums, I'd give them maybe an 80-85 out of 100

Colplay fue una de mis mayores influencias durante mi adolescencia, lamentablemente ese gran aprecio que tenía por ellos fue disminuyendo en gran medida a los últimos 3 álbums de la banda, dejando mi calificación en un 70, aunque si solo tomara en cuenta sus 4 primeros discos le daría un 85.

People tend to forget how good these guys were. Sure it's cool to hate them now because they have sold out a bit, but those first couple of album were among the best of the 00's.

Chris Martin is a fan of Radiohead (which means he as a VERY GOOD taste of music xd) and there are some influences from them on Coldplay songs :)

Coldplay knows a good tune and their success has last for quite some time now.

It is all deserved. Every album released is at it's worst pleasant (Most of XY) and at it's best--chills inducing (Fix You, Death and All His Friends)

They are the closest band I have seen at being successful in their attempt at being everything to everyone. They own their mass appeal and attempt to make and write songs universally relatable.

It can come across as dis-ingenious and too private not letting the listeners into their personal highs and lows.

Coldplay is wise in knowing they are big in this world but the world is still bigger than them. Their music communicates this.

England currently has a 3 headed musical government.

Radiohead is King
Muse is the muscle--the military
Coldplay is the Diplomat---It's All About the Togetherness

Well, that comment was really useless, but here's the real opinion of the band.
Could have been a great brit pop band aclaimed by great music critics, but what are they doing right now it's alright, they are still popular it would be bad if with the new things they do they were forgotten.
Coldplay's really good, but they could do better things.

This band grew up really bad, they should have stopped on Viva La Vida.
Parachutes is still one of my favorite childhood albums to date

First three albums were brilliant, 4 one was good, and since then they have been ok but forgettable.
