Coldplay, an alternative rock band from London, are one of my all time favorite bands. They have achieved great success since they first formed together back in 1996. To date they have won 6 Brit Awards, 4 MTV awards, and 7 Grammy Awards. This band is one of the world's best selling music artists, with over 55 million records sold worldwide.
Coldplay have released a number of albums including: 'Parachutes,' 'A Rush of Blood to the Head,' 'X&Y' and 'Viva La Vida or Death and All His Friends.' Coldplay's recently released fifth album "Mylo Xyloto" has proven to be a great success, with it being the best selling rock album in the UK, and featuring the best selling rock single "Paradise."
Although I have never seen Coldplay live I have been fortunate enough to get tickets to one of their London shows this summer. I would certainly urge you to see them if you have the chance. Although many people complain that Coldplay try to be the next U2 I would have to disagree. Coldplay writes amazing philosophical material and perform with so much energy and attack that their live performances are truly brilliant. Although Chris Martin has been labeled in the past as too geeky and controlling, their is no question he has tremendous ability to captivate the entire audience and have them all begging to hear more.
