Coldplay: A Rush of Blood To The Head vs Viva La Vida vs X&Y vs Parachutes

[Prime]

Soooooo, time to find some more of those "hidden Coldplay fans" at this forum with a lovely album combat thread featuring, yes...Coldplay. I want to see you Coldplay fan here. Let's do this!

Let's do this!

Let's don't and say we did!

Not a Coldplay fan

Oye! Well all of these albums came into my life at special times and therefore all hold a special place in my mind.

Everyone thinks AROBTTH is the best, but I personally prefer Parachutes, followed by X&Y, Viva la Vida then AROBTTH.

They are working with Brian Eno, who contributed to Viva la Vida, so I think this new one will be a solid one as well.

And for the record, I loved Fix You before it became "cool"

A Rush Of Blood To The Head ~ love every tune on it.

Somethin' tells me this thread will have cobwebs and tumbleweeds in it before long.

No matter. It's just another Coldplay thread, which is good for people who are willing to give Coldplay another chance

I don't hate them...but I don't own any of their records either. I kept meaning to get around to them but never did...

I do love the artwork on Viva La Vida, the original painting of Joan of Arc leading the Army to chase the British out of France.

Anyway I will be back to see how this vote goes, and then I'll sample the winning album and see what I think.

Rush of Blood!

Completely unlike you ILJP, my list goes like this:

AROBTTH
X&Y
Parachutes
Viva La Vida

I voted X&Y. It has awesome songs, and my favourite Coldplay song: Fix You. Since i first heard it i loved it.

My list would go something like this:

X&Y
Viva La Vida
Parachutes
AROBTTH

My favourite is Parachutes - love that album, then A Rush of Blood to the Head which has some corking tunes on it, including one of my favourite Coldplay songs, In My Place. Viva la Vida I don't actually have as the few songs I've heard from it didn't do anything for me, must give the whole album a listen sometime though!
