With their mild-mannered image and uncomplicated approach to piano-led alternative rock, Coldplay were perhaps unlikely candidates for elevation to multi-award-winning, multi-million-selling stadium rock behemoth status. And yet, five albums in to their career, they command huge audiences around the world and are regularly listed among music's highest earners.
But which Coldplay album is the best? Is it debut Parachutes, which produced breakthrough hit Yellow? The Grammy-winning A Rush of Blood to the Head? Eno-produced Viva la Vida? Scrabble high-scorer Mylo Xyloto?
To kick off the debate, we'd like you to make the case for your favourite Coldplay album. You can write a review of the album of your choice via the links below. We'll be picking a reader-penned review of each of the albums to publish here on Friday.
