18. Coldplay - 'Viva La Vida or Death and All His Friends' - Coldplay could have spent the last two years recording nothing but white noise and still achieved the multi-million sales figures of their previous three albums. Thankfully, however, with the help of Brian Eno they created ‘Viva La Vida or Death and All His Friends’, Although Eno’s production role was not as radical a departure for Coldplay as many had expected, the album still contained instant singles in the shape of ‘Viva La Vida’ and ‘Violet Hill’. Coldplay dressed for war in 2008 and, with arenas as their battlefields, they delivered again. [JG]
