Well, I can honestly say I'm surprised by this one. Considering their two earlier (and I'd argue, significantly better) albums didn't really get much love in the 2000 and 2002 polls, I didn't really think X & Y would get much attention. I do genuinely appreciate Coldplay, and recognize that there are some beautiful songs on the album, but I'm having a bit of a tough time with this one. Ah, democracy!
1984 doesn't really feel like the best year in terms of quality, but there is some depth and definitely some works that are part of the popular canon. I think I can foresee a winner based on voting trends, but we'll see. I've been surprised before
