Chris's Nuts Posted January 30, 2010 Author Share Posted January 30, 2010 Actually I have the results now but I need to check and recheck for errors. In some ways predictable and in other ways some good surprises. Still I won't be rolling this ALL out for a little bit still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noonsun Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 What you said about Coldplay being a "gateway drug" is quite true, I owe almost all of my current mindshatteringly awesome musical taste to liking Viva La Vida around March or April last year.

Chris's Nuts Posted January 31, 2010 Author Share Posted January 31, 2010 We're going to get a LOT of "why isn't this higher?" simply because we have such a larger song catalog now. #66 Animals 1,389 points, 38 votes #67 The Escapist 1,376 points, 36 votes #68 Proof 1,362 points, 39 votes #69 A Whisper 1,207 points, 36 votes #70 Only Superstition 1,180 points, 35 votes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnnaElisabeth Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 I'm feeling a bit slow, but I don't get the votes :facepalm: Is the latter figure this year's voting?

Texasluvsjonny Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 The fact that A Whisper finished higher than any of these songs #71 Bigger Stonger 1,107 votes, 36 votes #72 Careful Where You Stand 967 votes, 24 votes #73 Such a Rush 811 votes, 21 votes #74 A Spell A Rebel Yell 765 votes, 22 votes #75 Easy To Please 716 votes, 19 votes Makes this an invalid poll so you can stop posting results now.

Corkus Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 So far it's basically B-sides and pre-Parachutes material. I hope a B-side or two can still manage to crack the Top 30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris's Nuts Posted February 1, 2010 Author Share Posted February 1, 2010 So far it's basically B-sides and pre-Parachutes material. I hope a B-side or two can still manage to crack the Top 30. I will say because the request for getting lists was posted not just on the forum but on the front page of coldplaying we had a TON of first time posters (people who don't frequent the boards or post) give their lists. That may ultimately be the thing that disappoints people the most. The results I think are still accurate of the fanbase of the whole but may disappoint the diehards who were wanting non-singles and b-side to do better. In the top 50 I am showing the previous poll ranks for perspective. I will say that the Parachutes slide continues...... #56 Life is For Living 1,821 points, 44 votes #57 Sleeping Sun 1,807 points, 47 votes #58 How You See The World 1,800 points, 44 votes #59 The Goldrush 1,755 points, 47 votes #60 Twisted Logic 1,739 points, 48 votes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fietssleutel Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 That's to be expected though, especially with this many people participating. I can't stand any of the "hits", but still I didn't take the time to rank every awesome b-side or non-single. So no complaints here. I'm afraid I'll like the list better in reverse :sweatdrop: It would be nice to see some surprises in the top 20 :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
