Coldplay - Love Actually
Background Information: Coldplay [Top] Coldplay is a British rock band, formed in 1997. The bands members, Chris Martin, Guy Berryman, Jonny Buckland & Will Champion, met each other & formed the band while they were students at University College London. The band enjoyed both commercial & critical success relatively early in their existence through their first full-length album, Parachutes & the single Yellow. Along with the acclaim, Parachutes was sometimes criticised for bearing a strong resemblance to the music of Radiohead in their The Bends - OK Computer era. The bands second full-length album, A Rush of Blood to the Head, was generally considered to be musically & lyrically more mature & sophisticated & less obviously the product of one particular influence. Parachutes was nominated for the Mercury Music Prize in 2000 & won the Best Alternative Music Performance award in the 2001/44th Annual Grammy Awards. Coldplays second album A Rush Of Blood To The Head won two Grammys in 2002. In July 2003 they recorded a live DVD & CD, Live 2003, at Sydneys Hordern Pavilion.
