-- Coldplay --

Coldplay is an English alternative rock band formed in 1998. The group leader is Chris Martin. He is the vocalist, the guitarist and the pianist of the band. The other components of Coldplay are Jonny Buckland, the lead guitarist; Guy Berryman, the bassist; and Will Champion, the drummer.

The components of the band met at the University College London, in 1996. The first members
of the group were Chris Martin and Jonny Buckland. The first name of the group was Pectoralz. Later Guy Berryman, a classmate, joined to the group in 1997. They started to play in small clubs and then Will Champion joined them. They changed the name of the group to Coldplay.

They became famous with their first single "Yellow" from their first album "Parachutes" and they were nominated to the Mercury Prize. Their second album was "A Rush of Blood to the Head "(2002). Their next album "X&Y" (2005) was very well received . Coldplay's last album "Viva La Vida or Death and All His Friends" (2008) has been really successful and I think it´s a great album.

I think that Coldplay has been very successful because their songs are really beautiful and I have chosen this group because I like their type of music and I like their songs, specially their last song: Viva La Vida
