Public Enemy - It Takes A Nation... 1. Radiohead - OK Computer ...and it made me think. Will Coldplay ever make a classic album along the lines of Radiohead's Ok Computer or The Beatles Revolver? So far they have yet to make a classic album. Don't get me wrong, I think X&Y,Parachutes and A Rush of Blood To The Head are good records. But none of them will ever be considered classics. Mostly because they haven't broken any barriers musically and because they aren't ''amazing''. Of course Coldplay is a very young band, and they may very well release a classic album in the future. But do they really have it in them?

A mediocre band.
