If you had a choice of putting 16 songs on cd, which ones would you put? I'm giving a cd of coldplay songs to someone that has just heard of them and likes them. Please put input. They are all so good, its hard to choose... :confused:

completely impossible to do i tried to do this with 10 songs and didnt even get past Parachutes

So... is it 16 or 18 songs? And yeah, quite the impossible task! ;)

By the time you get your input in this thread, it'll just be a list of pretty much every Coldplay song. :laugh3:

16 songs

 

- A rush of blood to the head

- Amsterdam

- Brothers & Sisters

- Careful where you stand

- Crests of waves

- Daylight

- Don't panic

- Green eyes

- High speed

- I ran away

- Politik

- See you soon

- Spies

- Such a rush

- We never change

- Where is my boy

Best put on the hits/famous one's and some of the other album tracks [ the cathcy ones] Apart form the singles the album songs ive put on are the ones ive known people who dont mind Coldplay singing along to or like. So the famous songs and catchy album songs are best bet and then this person maybe want to explore more of thier music. Chances are most the famous songs he/she will recognise but forgot about, if you know what i mean.

top 16: (in order of release)

 

1. No More Keeping My Feet on the Ground

2. Bigger Stronger

12. Talk

13. X&Y

14. How You See the World

15. Gravity

16. Viva La Vida

 

 

since you said top 18 in the title, if I had to add 2 more i'd be:

-Help is Around the Corner

-Shiver

If they've never heard any Coldplay songs (unlikely), I think the 16 should be:

1. Yellow

2. Shiver

3. Don't Panic

4. Trouble

5. The Scientist

6. Clocks

7. In My Place

8. Square One

9. Fix You

10. Talk

11. Violet Hill

12. Viva La Vida

13. Things I Don't Understand (this song almost certainly should have been on X&Y)

14. See You Soon

15. A Rush Of Blood To The Head

16. Swallowed In The Sea

 

However, if (like most people) they've heard most of the "big" songs already, I reckon the tracklisting should be:

1. Don't Panic

2. A Rush Of Blood To The Head

3. Spies

4. Things I Don't Understand

5. Crests Of Waves

6. Politik

7. Only Superstition

8. See You Soon

9. I Ran Away

10. White Shadows

11. Swallowed In The Sea

12. Viva La Vida

13. Life Is For Living

14. Low

15. Careful Where You Stand

16. Easy To Please

A Rush of Blood to the Head

The Scientist

We Never Change

Viva La Vida

Shiver

Parachutes

In My Place

Clocks

Don't Panic

Yellow
