I thought this would be a cool idea, for Coldplaying to have a definitive list of the community's favorite songs of all time. This is the nominating stage.

 

Rules/Guidelines (please read):

 

-Nominate 20 of YOUR FAVORITE songs - ORDER DOES NOT MATTER

-Only 1 song per artist please, if we don't enforce this we'd have like 40 Coldplay songs on the final list ;)

-Coldplay IS allowed but like any other artist only one song nomination per coldplayer.

-repeat nominating is redundant because the song is already been entered in the competition, so make sure you don't re-nominate songs that have already been nominated...

-You MAY *link* your choices to youtube videos so other coldplayers become familiar with a song you entered in the competition that they might not know

 

-Nominating process will be open for a while so everyone gets a chance to nominate their 20 songs.

 

Get going and have fun!

1. "Yellow" -Coldplay

2. "#41" -Dave Matthews Band

3. "That Was A Crazy Game of Poker" -O.A.R.

4. "Hanging by a Moment" -Lifehouse

5. "Fake Plastic Trees" -Radiohead

6. "Highway to Hell" -AC/DC

7. "Chasing Cars" -Snow Patrol

8. "Just A Memory" -A Change of Season

9. "Iris" -Goo Goo Dolls

10. "Falling Slowly" -Glen Hansard (from the movie "Once")

11. "Stairway to Heaven" -Led Zeppelin
