Parachutes — 2000

A gentle, atmospheric debut of melancholic Britpop-adjacent songs, home to 'Yellow'. Tender and tuneful. A quiet success. The record that introduced Coldplay to serious listeners.

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