Coldplay - The Scientist

Arguably the best track from the monumental second record by this serious bunch, The Scientist was apparently too downbeat for Coldplay's burgeoning American fanbase - they got Clocks as a second single instead.

It's their loss, for while Clocks, like much of the album, is a fine piece of music, it doesn't match this. The piano riff seeps into your consciousness like something from your Id, and before long you'll be itching to play it on any set of ivories you come across.

The piano is wonderful, as is the way in which the band pull together for a rousing crescendo, but it's ultimately Chris Martin's emotive voice that makes this one of the year's standout singles.
