here are my top 5

5. chinese sleep chant (one of the best on the new album, not getting enough credit, and one review even called it the album's weak point!)

4. parachutes (i know its only 40something seconds but i think its absolutely beautiful)

3. square one (kick ass opener, arguably the best on x&y)

2. life is for living (awesome end to an awesome album, loved it on live 2003)

1. daylight (amazing on album. even more amazing live)

1. Parachutes/Sparks: The first one does not get credit as being arguably the most beautiful thing Coldplay have done and the second one does not get credit as being arguably the second most beautiful thing Coldplay have done imo...

2. Daylight/Green Eyes: The most amazing song live and one of the sweetest songs i've ever heard (though Gwyneth doesn't agree from what i hear...)

3. Low: I think it's the most underrated and the best track on X&Y, a great rocker.

4. Reign of Love: A sweet piece to gather some air amidst all the kick-assness of the album.

DAYLIGHT!!!!!!

Everything's Not Lost.

I don't know how Swallowed in the Sea is rated.

 

But I really love it.

Daylight is just Clocks after taking a few magic mushrooms!:P

High Speed is uno numero when I think about underrated Coldplay songs..

-X&Y (song): I don't hear much praise of this song, yet it is probably my favorite coldplay song

 

-Murder: Although a b-side, i don't hear many people talk to highly of the song like with Bigger Stronger/Gravity

 

-Daylight

-Spies

-No More Keeping My Feet On The Ground

Hah.

 

I reckon if everyone believes a song is underrated it's not in fact underrated, is it?

Every song never released as a single...with the exception of The Hardest Part.

1. No More Keeping My Feet On The Ground

2. We Never Change - The albums best point in my opinion.

3. Everthings Not Lost

4. For You - Beautiful, one of coldplays best songs! I love chris' voice in this, it goes so well with the piano.

 

All of my choices are from the Parachutes era, but I think Parachutes is unappreciated, especially by the band themselves.

One i love

Gravity

Warning sign

For you

High speed

Careful Where You Stand

For You

One I love

Ladder To The Sun

A Message

 

Oh and strangely I was looking at the thread about what setlists people wanted from the forthcoming tour and shockingly a lot of people left oot Square One... Madness?!

Oh and I know it's cheesey to say this now, but I would have loved a proper recording of Moses.

high speed, daylight, i bloom blaum, x&y (i dunno how the last two are rated tbh, lol)

2000 miles, although a cover.

daylight, low, x & y, spies, twisted logic, god put a smile upon your face.... I could go on with sooo many

btw here is a video of x & Y live http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=crLtjGUAGzc

Parachutes: I love this little track. I really wish it were longer, but it's 40 seconds of beauty.

 

Life is for Living: Same thing. Too short, but really a great track.

 

Square One: This song is just great. Intricate melody, almost spooky.

 

A Whisper: Okay, I hated this song and never, ever listened to it all the way through until recently. Turns out, it's pretty cool. LOL

 

Proof: I've always loved this song, and didn't realize it was so despised among the Coldplay community. I still think it's beautiful.

 

Spies: Gets lost in all the good tracks on Parachutes, but it's a really good song.

 

White Shadows: This song has a lot of attitude... I've always liked it more than "Talk" or "Low," the two comporable songs on the album.

I Ran Away

 

Crest of Waves

 

Gravity

 

And many more....

- Crests of waves - A magnificent B-Side that complimented the 'Clocks' single

- One I love - Again, B-Side from the 'In My Place' Single

- The World Turned Upside Down - A B-Side from the 'Fix You' Single

- Violet Hill - It's Copping an ABSOLUTE beating on the front page Poll. (just because its not as new???)

- White Shadows (Off X&Y) - love the intro and chorus.

Crest of Waves

X&Y

Square One

Don't Panic (Blue Room version)

I Bloom Blaum

 

AND ESPECIALLY FOR YOU. I love that song :heart:

x&y(song)

twisted logic

how we see the the world

Fix You gets a lot of bashing on this forum, probably because it was once overrated by many, but I really enjoy it, and I think it's one of my favourite Coldplay songs.

Ladder To The Sun and Moses, for sure. I wish they had recorded studio versions of them, that would have been amazing.

Chinese Sleep Chant! Its a brilliant song IMO.

High Speed ...so beautiful.. one of those songs that makes you imagine awesome things

Square One ...a great upbeat song ..especially live

For You ..a soft kinda romantic song ..love it!!
