Parachutes

Coldplay
Released 2000Pop
Start herePicked by a lifelong record collector

A gentle, atmospheric debut of melancholic Britpop-adjacent songs, home to 'Yellow'. Tender and tuneful. A quiet success. Released in 2000, it's an early landmark for Coldplay.

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