Sun 26 Oct – Coldplay, Duffy
I was not a Coldplay fan until I heard their latest album, "Viva La Vida or Death And All His Friends." Which, in my mind, was one of the best releases of 2008. I didn't care for their previous release, X&Y, which had a few nice tunes on it but overall was lacking substance. Viva La Vida turned me into a Coldplay fan, and as I listened, I decided to get tickets to their show at the Izod Center in East Rutherford.
I still wasn't a huge Coldplay fan when I bought the tickets but I really enjoyed the new album and I thought I would enjoy it even more to see them live. The concert sold out on Ticketmaster within 10 minutes, so I thought, hey, why not get some of their other albums? I started with rummaging through my CD collection to find my old copy of X&Y, and listened to the two albums for a while. X&Y still had some songs I couldn't get into, but on the whole, I was digging the band.
