At first I just saw the video for yellow, which I quickly shunned, I didn't care much for it, and I didn't even remember the name of the song or the bands name. Then, I heard Speed of Sound on the radio, and fell in love with it. I learned that it was Coldplay, I searched some of their songs, and the rest is history :)

:lol: that's hilarious...

 

 

My first time was listening to Yellow...in my room, it was on the radio, and at first I thought "hmm...this is a cool song..."

Then, I started to hear it more often after that

 

I think awhile later...and for some odd reason I just remember me lying on my bed listening to the radio and the song Moses came on. I turned it up and just lay there listening to it.

 

I only really got 'into' Coldplay when they came out with In my Place and Clocks....so I went out and bought ARoBttH.

 

And then I became more and more interested in Coldplay...etc etc...

:D

I almost feel as if it were fate that I decided to listen to Yahoo Launch one day. Coldplay- The Scientist came on. Every note on that song touched my soul that no other song has since. I went out and bought AROBTTH the next day. The rest is history. B.C. means "Before Coldplay" for me. I finally get to see them on the 21st.

In 2003, I heard Clocks on a radio station I started listening to. I thought, "Is that a piano? ('cause I love the instrument, heh)" I liked Chris' voice, too. Then I might have heard The Scientist, and the band name. I told myself to keep it in mind. I had no idea that they were, like, huge. I heard stuff about "Coldplay frontman Chis Martin and Gwyneth Paltrow..." on the TV Guide channel, which reminded me to look up some more songs.

 

I wanted to download Clocks, but I didn't know what it was called! I went and looked up the lyrics to see if I could match them, and I eventually got it. I couldn't find Clocks to download, so I settled for some song called Yellow. Then I got both Clocks and The Scientist, which led me to buy Rush of Blood, which led me to buy Parachutes... Coldplay Live 2003... and X&Y.

 

Ahhh.

I bought their album AROBTTH in London... I thought: have a try... :dozey: and now I am the biggest Coldplay fan... :stunned: oooolala :lol: :lol:

yeah, i first saw coldplays yellow video and I heard it was like the cheapest video ever made. Then i thought, man , these guys a cool! making a video of some dude on a beach. Then i just fell in love with Chris martin on the piano.

I really liked the movie Garden State, and wen the movie finished i ran to my computer and randomly downloaded a few songs. As fate would have it I downloaded "Don't Panic" and i loved the song. I found out it was coldplay, and I went back on the computer and downloaded a bunch of songs. Then I went and bought X&Y a few months later. Things just went on from there... :lol:

i saw them at the brit awards in 2003 playing clocks- i loved it - i got the music from the internet straight away after seeing this- i loved it. i got the album - i loved it.

i can't remember anymore, but i think my friend (who has introduced me to real music and i'll be forever thankful, not just for coldplay) gave me parachutes and i just started to listen them and got hooked totally. nice. i think it's lasting for more than 3-4 years now. and i'm so proud i'd started with parachutes, from the start. don't panic was (and still is) my first love, than came trouble...and the rest is history

Saw The Scvientist video, thought it was a bit of a boring song. Saw the In My Place and Clocks vids, thought IMP was a bit boring, but Clocks was amazing. Then saw the GPASUYF video, loved that.

Lost interest for the next 2 years, then heard Speed of Sound and liked it. Took the plunge, bought X & Y, and all the rest is just recent history..

i heard 'shiver' being played on the Jo Whiley Show on Radio 1 in early 2000. she was building it up before she played it saying how great the band was. i thought was good too. bought the yellow single and parachutes album the first day they were released. briliant stuff, been a fan ever since
