I know that from the caption some of you might think I'm referring to none other than the self proclaimed and professed "world boss", however I am not. I apologize for the disappointment. This post is about a group of four (4) musicians from Britain who call themselves collectively 'Coldplay'. They have delighted millions around the world with their melodious sounds and inspiring music.
The key, I feel, to their success, has been the fact that they just simply know how to assemble music. Arranging an ensemble is a key part of being a professional musician which many musicians in my opinion neglect. Their instruments accompany the unique voice of lead singer, pianist and husband of Hollywood actress Gwyneth Paltrow ( the only member I don't have to google to remember his name) Chris Martin.
To date the band has released five (5) studio albums, starting with "Parachutes" in 2000, "A Rush of Blood to the Head" in 2002, "X&Y" in 2005, "Viva La Vida" in 2008 and most recently "Mylo Xyloto" in 2011. All these albums have gone platinum in the major markets of the world including the UK, US, Canada and Australia. I have listened to all five and I must say that all are top quality (epic even).
Making at a list of hits from Coldplay would mean me just writing all the tracks down from every album as slighted on each album cover.However, I have taken upon myself (in my infinite musical wisdom) the arduous task of picking my personal top 10 favourites to share with you. I will not comment on any of my selection, I will however provide links to all songs for you to make your own minds up. Enjoy!
10. Trouble
9. Lost
8. Fix You
4. Yellow
3. Viva la Vida
2. Clocks
I know I said 10 but Paradise deserves a mention in the mix. Consider it a brawta!
