I think parchutes is the equivelent of U2's "war" album and ROBTTH is the 'Unforgettable fire' (bear in mind folks this is entirely IMO..no need to threaten my life or anything..) It is a classic, but I believe we haven't seen the best of what Coldplay has to offer. We haven't seen the 'joshua tree' of Coldplay as of yet. (for those non-u2 fans the Joshua tree album is considered by most their swan album..again that is in another chat board to be discussed :lol: ) If i had 10 albums to take to a deserted isle, Chutes and ROBTTH would definitely be in there..along with a few others :D

My first Coldplay concert was in Los Angeles, at the Mayan Nightclub. I had only heard about Coldplay through a friend of mine. I went with her reluctantly, little did I know that I would soon witness the best music I have heard in several years. That concert changed my life. That piano..I just couldn't get it out of my head. I woke up the next morning hung over and made my way to Tower records and bought the album. I was just a dumb farm boy from Oklahoma looking for answers to life in LA. That concert, (hell the Parachutes album) got me through some very rough times in LA. That album reminded me that I am a human being and I do indeed have a conscience. (somtimes very easy to forget living in LA.) :? A year or so later, I moved back home and have never been happier. Anyways, Coldplay and U2 are by far the most impressive concerts I have ever been to. I hope Coldplay can continue to play their music and change the lives of many more that hear their message and sound.

I am gonna go with 'Clocks' and 'Warning sign' as my favorite tracks. I have had 'God put a smile', and 'In my place' down-loaded for a while now. (I must say the live versions of God put a smile and In my place I hold a bit closer to my heart than the tracks recorded on Rush of Blood..But great songs regardless..) 'Clocks' has an amazing piano sequence and Immediately put a chill up my spine the first time I heard it. The haunting but angelic voice of Martin spilling out the chorus "youuuu are..." is like a breath of fresh air. Warning sign is just simply put as Classic Coldplay. I compare it with the likes of Shiver and Trouble. My fiance and I already have Warning sign as one of "our songs." (Forgive my nausiating romanticism..) In my opinion, this album will take a while for the casual Coldplay listener to catch on, but it will catch on. Those of us who have been waiting for months for Rush's release date will have no problem finding our favorite the during the maiden listening session. :D
