I Coldplay fra i più ammirati secondo NME.com

In un sondaggio istituito dall'autorevole portale musicale NME.com ed aperto a tutti gli appassionati mondiali di musica, denominato 'Greatest 100 Albums of All Time', trovano posto anche i Coldplay.
La band di Chris Martin, attraverso la propria introspettiva e particolare musica emozionale, è riuscita a piazzare tutti e tre i propri successi fra i 100 album più importanti della storia della musica.
A Rush Of Blood To The Head si è classificato al 33° posto, il capolavoro X&Y al 49° posto e la pubblicazione di esordio, Parachutes, ha conquistato la cinquantaduesima posizione.
Un ottimo risultato, non c'è che dire.
Per dovere di cronaca, è necessario far notare che ha chiuso il sondaggio al primo posto l'album degli Oasis 'Definitely Maybe', seguito da due 'pietre miliari' della storia della musica targati Beatles, 'Sg.t Pepper's Lonely Heart's Club Band' e 'Revolver', rispettivamente in seconda e terza posizione.
Nel poll compaiono comunque nomi autorevoli quali Radiohead, Pink Floyd, Smiths, U2, Libertines, Sex Pistols, Beach Boys, Killers, Queen, Clash, Verve, Green Day, David Bowie, Abba, Keane, Bob Dylan e tanti tanti altri.
