i was around 6 or 7 when yellow and the parachutes album came out, and i remember watching the music video all the time and i loved it :) and my mom became obsessed with them as well, and she bought parachutes and played it in the car all the time. as their later albums came out, my mom bought them all and we listened to them all. so ive been a huge fan since the very beginning and my love for them continues every day :)

hey. that is so cool!

I really started to like them when I heard Speed of Sound for the first time. I had heard of them and I do remember liking "The Scientist" video before that, but I guess it wasn't the right timing. Once I got hooked though, there was no going back.

 

EDIT:

Also I have an early memory of Coldplay that makes me wince now when I think about it but I do remember seeing the "Yellow" video on MTV2 when it first came out. I was around 10 or 11 I think, and I sadly recall thinking it was stupid and saying it was a dumb song! Can you believe it?! I clearly ate my words a few years later. I was young and naive...and crazy.

yeah me too! I remember i really loved Speed of Sound and then I heard Fix You and I was like, "okay. i really need to start listening to Coldplay." my sister had AROBTTH so i listened to it and became absolutely addicted to them because i loved The Scientist so much. I would still have to say that it's my favorite song because its so sentimental. :) its the song that truly got me in love with Coldplay.

I took my kids to see the Peter Pan movie and fell in love with Clocks - I'd heard of them and liked "Yellow" but hearing Clocks is what did it for me. Kind of cliche, I know.

Politik on the Grammys in 2002? 2003? :confused: I can't remember. But it was love. :wacky:

^ I assume 2003, since that's the year Clocks won.

Yup, that's it! I always forget. :(

Ever since, it's my ringtone. :D I take my time before answering my cellphone. :laugh3:

i knew them but i didnt love their music [shame on me :d] and then i saw them in Live 8 in London [2005] then i realised that they're the best band ever :D

I first heard Viva La Vida on the radio a few times over summer thinking that it was an okay song. I first really paid attention ( because my mom scolded my dad who didn't knwo who coldplay is) was listening to it when I was leaving for church camp at 5 am in august '08. Then I thought I found a band I could get into. The next thought was " I shouldn't get to into it, they probably do drugs." ( I know, I had no Idea) . Then I was thinking of getting VLV on itunes, but instead of just the song, my mom got the album from the library. I originally listened to just the song, then I put the album on when I got my new ipod touch in october. I also rmember watching the VLV video and thinking " Wow. That singer spases a lot. He looks like Hugh laurie." I decided to get prospekt's march. I decided to get Fix you and SoS. I later learned that a lot of songs were coldplay and I didn't know it, like Talk or In my place. Then I got obsessed.

I read the Rolling Stone interview with Chris and thought it was hilarious and then I got Coldplay as a Genius result on iTunes then I found this site and now I'm a Coldplay fan. :)

the itunes commercial:)

Every morning in 2002 I'd watch MuchMusic and "In My Place" would be playing, so I immediately started loving that song. Wasn't till a couple months later (once Clocks came out) that I would constantly hear it at La Ronde (amusement park here), and that song is really what made it such a memorable summer on all the rides with my friends....then I got AROBTTH and was hooked! So since 2003 I've been an avid fan....a little tooo crazy of a fan...

X & Y was given to me as a present no idea who from but I must have liked them because I don't normally receive CDs.

I went on a road trip in 2005 and I listened to it for a week straight I became so into it.

Then lost the CD.

When I heard Coldplay where coming to NZ I new I liked them so brought Viva and from then on the obsession has gotten bigger.

When I first saw them 10 feet away from me - I felt their brilliance and their show was so out of this world. So makes sense to love something so great.

Also I started watching the youtube interviews and Chris is the funniest guy - obsession is fueled by youtube :P.

;)Interesting thread!;)

I first listen to Coldplay in 2000, the song was "Yellow". Then I was gradually becoming more and more linked/interested in their music.

Now whenever a Coldplay song is played on the radio or tv or public place I start to sing along.:lol::P

I was 10 so I kinda grow up listening to them.:rolleyes:

clocks

man, I love your signature!

I remember that i had In My Place, Clocks and Speed Of Sound in my iPod a long time ago without even knowing who exactly were those guys. Then one day I went to see my Hairdresser and he gave me a lot of new music (yeah, sounds weird indeed). The VLV album was in there. I completly fell in love with that music because i found it really inspirating, and since I write a lot, i listened to that all the time.

I knew coldplay since AROBTTH because my little sister liked them and of course I heard "clocks" and "in my place" on the radio all the time. I thought that "the scientist" was a great song, but didn't really mind it. For me Coldplay was only another trivial band...

 

Then there was "viva la vida"! I knew it from the radio and thought it's nice - but nothing more...

 

On an evening in December I was home alone and saw a short excerpt from "viva la vida" on tv. I don't know why, but I searched the video on youtube.

 

I sat infront of my laptop and watched it and suddenly I started to cry. Don't know why, but

it was mind-blowing!

 

From that moment I adore Coldplay! (and spend too much time on http://www.coldplaying.com...;))

On the radio they always play Yellow and Clocks... sometimes I would hear Speed of Sound... one day i finally decided to figure out what the heck was the idea behind these guys... And then I saw The Last Kiss and they play Warning Sign, that's when i found out me & Coldplay were meant to be...... that was last summer.... almost 1 year of Coldplay in my life...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i heard "Clocks" in the Peter Pan trailer

I got truly into them around the time of the release of Speed Of Sound, in 2005. I was completely OBSESSED with that song at the time. Later I bought X&Y and the rest is history! :D

When I heard yellow on the radio and decided to go check the group out.....been hooked since then

My friend lent me Viva La Vida and I put it on my iTunes. I though it was good on first listen, but the more and more I listened the better it got. Eventually I decided to get AROBTTH, I loved that, then X & Y and Parachutes followed (both excellent). Then I found this forum :P
