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.

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. (Shamefully)

nice :nice:

 

lets see :D

Well let's get a few results out now;

 

#71 Bigger Stonger 1,107 points, 36 votes

#72 Careful Where You Stand 967 points, 24 votes

#73 Such a Rush 811 points, 21 votes

#74 A Spell A Rebel Yell 765 points, 22 votes

#75 Easy To Please 716 points, 19 votes

^ :awesome:

not :awesome: bigger stronger should be way higher.

So should Careful Where You Stand! :o

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

#70 Only Superstition 1,180 points, 35 votes

I'm feeling a bit slow, but I don't get the votes :facepalm: Is the latter figure this year's voting? And what's the higher one for?

Sorry!

(And Proof at 68? :disappointed:)

The fact that A Whisper finished higher than any of these songs

#64 Reign of Love 1,459 points, 39 votes

#65 The World Turned Upside Down 1,431 points, 41 votes

Nuts, you are such a tease :bomb:

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

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 :)

#51 Now My Feet Won’t Touch the Ground 1,955 points, 58 votes

#52 Parachutes 1,894 points, 50 votes

I don't post much but some of my favorites have already been ranked. I better not see "A Rush of Blood to the Head" or "Amsterdam" any time soon.:veryangry2:

^ Agreed!

Those 2 songs are good!

Ohhh! I want to see where Green Eyes ranks, it better be up high!! I want the next part soon.

I'm so dissapointed that some of my favourites have already been ranked ... but it's fair to consider all CP fans opinion ..

 

I can't stand any of the "hits"

why? you hate all of them? Clocks ... Yellow .. The Scientist

though I don't like Yellow, I do love "hit" Politik ;)

 

can't wait to see top 10 .. :)

I'm gunna sit on the fence and say I love all of Coldplays material
