Coldplay History of Rock Music 287 Parachutes by Coldplay Label: EMD/Capitol, (recorded 2000). Produced by Ken Nelson and Kris Allison. Selections: Don’t Panic, Shiver, Spies, Sparks, Yellow, Trouble, Parachutes, High Speed, We Never Change, Everything’s Not Lost. Personnel: Chris Martin, vocals piano, Jon Buckland, guitar, Will Champion, drums, and Guy Berryman, bass. Coldplay recently won a Grammy award for Parachutes for Best Alternative Album. The only thing wrong with that is that Parachutes deserved to be nominated for Best Album. All of the quartet attended the University College of London. All four had been playing instruments since their early teens and been influenced by likes of Bob Dylan, Neil Young, and Eric Clapton. With only their full-debut album and a few EPs they have already joined the ranks of England’s elite including Oasis, Verve, and Radiohead. They are drawing comparisons with Scotland’s Travis and the late Jeff Buckley, who I recently have also taken an interest to. This album also earned the band a Mercury Music Prize nomination and won three Brit Awards nominations. The album was released in the U.K. in November 2000, and was released a month later in the U.S. They have released album, song, very, two, parachutes, yellow, guitar, trouble, tracks, sound, songs, lyrics, lost, listen, coldplay, best, released, playing, panic, never, melodies, love, great, everything’s, don’t, change, been, appropriate, along, 2000, won, whole, voice, upbeat, unlike
