X&Y and Rush of Blood are very close in my mind with Parachutes behind them....I probably picked X&Y because ive been listening to it alot lately.
If I can find 4 songs on an album, then I think its a success. Especially in this world of one or two hit crappy albums.

Okay, at current count, we have 27 votes for AROBTTH as Coldplay's best, with PARACHUTES a distant second with 15. Cool...X & Y should have more votes than PARACHUTES but as long as AROBTTH is being properly recognized as the best Coldplay album, I can't complain much...

I'm also surprised at all the X&Y hate... I think it's their best record and has some excellent tracks on it (fix you, what if, white shadows, talk, hardest part, swallowed in the sea, kingdom come). I'd rank X&Y, Rush of Blood and then Parachutes. To each their own, but I highly suggest the people who have X&Y at the bottom of their list give it some serious relistening time...it'll grow on you big time.
I'm super pumped, seeing Coldplay TONIGHT!

Have to agree, I love X&Y. I like their other two albums, but they have some weaker tracks that make it tough for me to actively listen from start to finish, where as for me all the songs on X&Y are great.

I like them all equally. I think they're all very listenable and they all grew on me. Coldplay isn't my favorite band or anything but I like their music.

It's too soon for me to rank! I know it's been two months but i'm still listening to X&Y! I am liking it more and more every time. Excluding that bonus track "'Til Kingdome Come".
Check back with me in a couple months where i'll edit this post...if I remember.

the concert tonight was incredible. They played a really great mix of new and old songs, the video screen was one of the best I'd seen at a show in a while and they sounded great. Chris Martin improv'd a few lines about Toronto, the miraculous plane crash where no one was hurt and Celine Dion. Overall, one of the best concerts I've ever seen (I see about 25 shows a year....) If anyone gets a chance to see Coldplay on the Twisted Logic tour, for the love of God, do it! Worth every cent I paid on ebay to get my floor tix!

For me personally - I love every song on AROBTTH, almost every song on Parachutes, and about half of the songs on X&Y (including the three you listed + Talk + Square One - The Message).

AROBTTH
Parachutes
X&Y
I think AROBTTH and Parachutes are nearly equally as good, but I gave the slight edge to AROBTTH. X&Y has still not grown on me like the others, I think I still need some more listens.
