What Coldplay album should i start with?

TylerS · 22-08-2012, 08:28 PM

I have only heard most of their singles so what album should i start with or should i just listen to their whole discography?

PrincessofChina · 22-08-2012, 08:30 PM

Listen to everything of course

But A Rush of Blood to the Head is just brilliant.. so I'd recommend that!

Yeah AROBTTH is really really great !

But you could also simply start chronologically. You'll discover the differences of sound and their evolution .

Enjoy!

Yup, definitely agree with everyone here

But it doesn't just stop at the albums! there are loads more quality songs on the EPs, such as "Moving to Mars" on the ETIAW EP

I'd agree with going chronilogically, starting with Blue Room, but if you only have time or patience for one album, start with AROBTTH. It is brilliant, as Princess of China said.

If I were you, I'd definitely start with X&Y. That is what Coldplay is all about.

If you interested in how they have developed over the years, start with Parachutes and ascend from there. If you want to hear the best, start with Viva la Vida.

Agree with going chronologically, each album is beautiful in its own respect!
