Here's my take on Parachutes:

 

1. Don't Panic

3. High Speed

4. Parachutes

5. Shiver

6. Trouble

7. We Never Change

8. Yellow

05. Death Will Never Conquer

06. Now My Feet Won't Touch The Ground

07. Prospekt's March/Poppyfields

08. Strawberry Swing

09. Death And All His Friends

 

 

I'm going to work on one for A Rush of Blood to the Head. I'll post when I've finished it.

03. Animals

04. The Scientist

06. Daylight

07. One I Love

08. Murder

13. Amsterdam

14. A Whisper

 

 

Any good?

Well, I was thinking about simply rearranging songs already on the albums, but you bring up some interesting stuff, too.

 

Of the songs officially on AROBTTH, I would only cut Green Eyes, and I probably wouldn't replace it with anything. (If I had to choose, though, I would use Crests of Waves.)

 

I like the rockier tone you've created, but I can't imagine starting the album with anything except Politik. I do like the idea, though, of ending on something unconventional like A Whisper. Amsterdam is an almost too-obvious choice, which coupled with Everything's Not Lost/Life is for Living probably lead to ending X&Y with Twisted Logic/Til Kingdom Come.

 

What's funny about your tracklisting, though, is that the one transition I despise on AROBTTH is Clocks into Daylight, and that's the one you kept! :P Daylight is such a powerful song, but it drags a bit after the breezy pace of Clocks.

 

I'll post my listing for AROBTTH soon.

Right on. Make a playlist of those songs in that order. I love the transition of Amsterdam into A Whisper. I made a playlist awhile back of that transition of those two songs and I thought it was great.

 

Interested to see your order.
