A Rush of Blood to the Head

Coldplay
Released 2002Pop
ClassicPicked by a lifelong record collector

The album that made Coldplay huge, anthemic and melancholic, from 'Clocks' to 'The Scientist'. Polished and emotional. Their breakthrough. Released in 2002, it's a key entry in Coldplay's run.

On vinyl: Vinyl can be scarcer than the CD from this era, so it's worth looking for a recent repressing.
