Let the Good Times Roll With Coldplay!
Coldplay was introduced to the public in 2000, with their debut album "Parachutes" which included smash hit Yellow. In 2002, two years after their debut album was released, the band's second album entitled "A Rush of Blood to the Head" hit retail stores, and just astonished their fans and even got them new attention. Included on the album were songs such as In My Place, The Scientist, and the ever so popular, Clocks.
Often considered to be the next U2, Coldplay is the type of band that almost anyone can listen to. Their soft and smooth sound can be very relaxing and enjoyable to hear. Their music can almost seem like theme songs, with the abundance of times they have been heard on the big screen and on cable TV. (read more)
Coldplay - Clocks
Tides that I tried to swim against
You've put me down upon my knees
Oh I beg, I beg and plead (singing)
Come out of things unsaid, shoot an apple off my head (and a)
Trouble that can't be named, a tiger's waiting to be tamed (singing)
You are, you are
Clocks Lyrics

Wikipedia
Coldplay are an alternative rock band formed in London, England in 1998. The group comprises vocalist/pianist/guitarist Chris Martin, lead guitarist Jonny Buckland, bassist Guy Berryman, and drummer/multi-instrumentalist Will Champion. Coldplay has sold 40 million albums, and are also known for their hit singles, such as "Yellow", "The Scientist", "Speed of Sound", "Fix You", "Viva la Vida" and the Grammy Award-winning "Clocks".
Coldplay achieved worldwide fame with the release of their single "Yellow", followed by their debut album, Parachutes (2000), which was nominated for the Mercury Prize. Its follow-up, A Rush of Blood to the Head (2002) won multiple awards such as NME's Album of the Year. Their next release, X&Y (2005), received a slightly less enthusiastic yet still generally positive reception. The band's fourth studio album, Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends (2008), was produced by Brian Eno and released again to largely favourable reviews. All of Coldplay's albums have enjoyed commercial success.
Coldplay's early material was compared to acts such as Radiohead, Jeff Buckley, U2, and Travis. Since the release of Parachutes, Coldplay have drawn influence from other sources, including Echo and the Bunnymen, Kate Bush and George Harrison on A Rush of Blood to the Head, Johnny Cash and Kraftwerk for X&Y and Blur, Arcade Fire and My Bloody Valentine on Viva la Vida. Coldplay have been an active supporter of various social and political causes, such as Oxfam's Make Trade Fair campaign and Amnesty International. The group have also performed at various charity projects such as Band Aid 20, Live 8, and the Teenage Cancer Trust.
Interview
The importance of being earnest (TheGuardian.com)
His band Coldplay has sold 17 million albums, he's married to one of Hollywood's hottest stars and he hangs out with the musicians he hailed as heroes when he was a kid. So how did singer Chris Martin, an insecure, self-confessed nerd, hit the bigtime? Craig McLean joins the band on the road to find out. Chris Martin is sitting in a Las Vegas hotel, thinking about the power of songs. Specifically, he is thinking about something Bono once said about Coldplay - that they have "a sense that the world's hardest of hearts can be thawed by a great melody". Martin disagrees. "I think there are some hearts that are fucked," he says.
Then, as he often does, he changes his mind. "Actually, to be fair, I was wondering whether certain people's policies would change if they heard certain songs," he says, in his slightly sinusy, barely West Country-accented voice. "Would it really be possible to start Nazi Germany if you'd just been listening to Bob Marley's Exodus back-to-back for the past three weeks and getting stoned? Would the idea of the Holocaust seem so appealing? I know this sounds really trite, but I mean it seriously, because music is something that every human responds to. There's a reason why people who've had bad relationships with their parents listen to angry stuff."

Great stuff. I only have their second album, A Rush of Blood to the Head. Great songs in there especially, Clocks, The Scientist, In My Place and Amsterdam. Though they were known for Yellow, I don't really like that song. The only song I like from their Parachute album is Trouble. 5 stars to you. Posted January 12, 2008 |
