Coldplaying's Video Battle Weekend

Featured Replies

not this one of course, the next one.

 

all you have to do is post at least 5 max. 10 music videos which you'd like to see competing against each other next weekend

 

- you can vote only for officialy released videos, no live, no homemade etc. (post your lists in this thread)

- point system: 1st=10 points, 2nd=9 points, 3rd=8 etc.

- Coldplay videos allowed :nice: but please be OBJECTIVE and not too biased :stunned:

- DEADLINE: Friday, August 4th 23:59 CentralEuropeanTime

 

and don't forget: video and not audio is more important in this case

 

if you are looking for some "good video" suggestions, visit these sites:

P.S. if this thread will make some succes, we can make a tradition and do something similar every week and maybe after some "battles" we can choose the overall winner "favourite coldplaying.com video" ;)

So all I have to do now is just post a list of rated 10-1 videos? :wideeyed:

  • Author

actually, it's harder than it seems to be:

 

1. Bob Dylan - Subterranean Homesick Blues

2. Fatboy Slim - Weapon Of Choice

3. Sigur Ros - Untitled 1 (Vaka)

4. Bjork - All Is Full Of Love

5. Radiohead - Street Spirit

6. Unkle feat. Thom Yorke - Rabbit In Your Headlights

7. Blur - Coffee & TV

8. Michael Jackson - Thriller

9. A-HA - Take On Me

10. Coldplay - The Scientist

 

honorable mentions:

 

The White Stripes - Fell In Love With A Girl

Sigur Ros - Glosoli

Radiohead - Just

 

So all I have to do now is just post a list of rated 10-1 videos? :wideeyed:

2. Bjork - Cocoon

3. Beck - Loser

4. Radiohead - Fake Plastic Trees

5. Jamiroquai - The Coner Of The Earth

6. Placebo - Infro-red

8. Moby - Why Does My Heart Feel So Bad?

9. Richard Ashcroft - Song For The Lovers

10. Sophie Ellis Bextor - Murder on the Dance Floor

[damn, i tried my best not to mention coldplay that often :( ]

So do the points count toward qualifying then? Like a video needs more than one person speaking for it to get through? What about cool ones that most people wouldn't know about?

there are some links to some good videos in my 1st post. i believe that's enough

it's not the bands World Cup and it has a completely different system

i don't know how many votes will this thread receive, we also might change from points to mentions in posts. mentioning a video in your top 10 might be enough if you don't want to rate them from 1 to 10

I'll try to post some that might have some hope.

 

1. Radiohead - Just

2. Radiohead - Street Spirit

3. Foo Fighters - Everlong

4. Blur - Coffee and TV

5. Unkle Feat. Thom Yorke - Rabbit in Your Headlights

6. Coldplay - The Scientist

7. Foo Fighters - Big Me

8. Foo Fighters - My Hero

9. Fatboy Slim - Praise You

10. Franz Ferdinand - Take Me Out
