People just love to hate Coldplay, which I understand. Like U2 and other supergroups of our time they seem to be jammed down our throats by a music industry bent on forcefeeding us whatever they think that we will buy. Also, Coldplay has a pretty mainstream sound that is easy to get tired of. However, I remember discovering Don´t Panic on a sampler CD that came with a music magazine way back in the day when I still bought music magazines and nobody knew the band. It is off Coldplay´s first album, Parchutes, which came out in 2000. While preparing this post I discovered that Coldplay really doesn´t like this album and have publicly stated, "We know that's terrible music". Well I beg to disagree. Coldplay´s first two albums, Parachutes and A Rush of Blood to the Head, are my favorites and I lost interest in them after hearing their third album X & Y. However, Don´t Panic, besides being the phrase printed on the front of The Hitchhiker´s Guide to the Galaxy
one of my favorite books ever, is a very dark song and was the least commerically successful of the singles of the first album. It´s another one of those "get with it and enjoy life because you know you´re gonna die" songs that I love so much. Here is a short example of the llyrics.
Bones sinking like stones
All that we've fought for
Homes, places we've grown
All of us are done for
We live in a beautiful world
Yeah we do
Yeah we do
We live in a beautiful world

I just watched a Billy Joel documentary on YouTube and it reminded me of how much I enjoy many of the songs he has written. For me the memories of going to the roller rink and skating to My Life and Moving Out will never be forgotten. Like it or not, most people have heard Billy Joel´s hits on the radio, on TV, etc. However, there are a few songs which deserve to be recommended that I don´t think are that well known, especially if you are a little younger or never bothered to listen to Billy Joel´s older stuff. Probably my favorite is the song The Stranger, from Joel´s fifth studio album of the same name which came out in 1977. This album has many well-known songs on it but I don´t remember ever hearing The Stranger played on the radio. It is similar to my song These Are Not The Droids You´re Looking For in that it is about the difference between what we tell others (and o...
