As I'm sure the majority of Coldplayers on this site have listened to at least one or two of Coldplay's fantastic B-sides, I thought it would be a nifty idea to "create" your own Coldplay B-side CD.

 

It doesn't matter how many songs are on it, just keep it in reason. But, to kick it up a notch, maybe some of us could make cover art for the CD we 'made'.

 

Sound good?

Ooh, I like this idea! I'll need a moment to think about the tracklisting, though.

 

EDIT: I have no art skills whatsoever, so I wouldn't be able to make an album cover.

I completely understand. Thus, I edited the first post. :)

Ah, thanks! :nice:

 

Um, I guess this would be my tracklisting.

 

1. 1'36''

2. The World Turned Upside Down

3. Murder

4. Sleeping Sun

5. Careful Where You Stand

6. The Goldrush

7. Animals

8. One I Love

9. Help Is Round the Corner

10. Brothers & Sisters

11. Lost?

 

I'm not so sure about the "flow" of it, though. :thinking:

Something like what you have as your avatar picture would be cool as album art, I think. I've always been intrigued by the possibility of the band releasing an album with themselves on the cover, although I can't say I'd approve unless they do something fresh and exciting with it to give it a unique twist. But yes, something with a contemporary feel would be cool... but if this going to be a 'collective effort' interms of deciding on the tracklisting and such, then you have a lot of polls to set up I think :P

 

On a related note, have you heard 'A Rush Of B-Sides To The Head' or 'Castles'? Two unofficial B-side albums that were released a few years ago via P2P websites and torrents and they both got pretty famous among fans. I was just wondering if you knew about those, because this has definitely been done before. Except! Neither of them included any B-sides from the X&Y or VLVOD era, so maybe there's some potential.

 

EDIT: You probably meant just post your ideal B-side tracklisting and leave it at that. My bad :lol: I should probably try sleeping :P

I do this then and then but still strive for the perfect Coldplay b-side album after a year :sick:

 

1. The Goldrush

2. Rainy Day

3. Crests Of Waves

4. Things I Don't Understand

5. Brothers & Sisters

6. Gravity

7. Prospekt's March/Poppyfields

8. How You See The World No.2

9. See You Soon

10. Glass Of Water

11. Now My Feet Won't Touch The Ground

 

 

The first 4 tracks and the last 5 usualy stay the same then I keep changing the middle sections order and include and leave out tracks. A Spell A Rebel Yell, Postcards From Far Away, Murder and Bloodless Revolution have all been part of it.

My new idea is to wait for LP5 b-sides and then go from there. Maybe make an own one for the later b-sides and one for the older. EP tracks count as b-sides ;)

^ Wow that cover is awesome!

How did you make that writing?

Oh, these don't have to be only the B-Sides from singles?

 

In that case, my tracklist needs some changing . . .

Well, you could go pure b-sides but I find it better if you can use the Prospekt's March tracks as well :cool: I think today I will put my homework on hold and do something way more important: make the perfect Coldplay B-side (aka. tracks-that-did-not-appear-on-any-album) album :)

Track 1: I Ran Away

lol I actually just made a cd like this for my parents about a week ago! Okay, here 'tis.

 

So, I don't know if these are actually b-sides. Think of these more as rarities that people who only have the four studio albums and Prospekt's March wouldn't know.

 

1. Death Will Never Conquer - Chris on piano

2. Crest of Waves

3. Ladder to the Sun

4. Solid Ground

5. Hunting High and Low

6. Your Love Means Everything

7. A Spell, A Rebel Yell

8. The One I Love

9. Sleeping Sun

10. No More Keeping My Feet on the Ground

11. The World Turned Upside Down

12. 1.36

13. Help is Just Around the Corner

14. The Goldrush

I just looked at the past posts, and now I'm kickin myself for not including others! Totally forgot about Murder, Idiot, Animals... (sigh...)

Track 1: I Ran Away

 

:stunned:THIS!!! I realized just recently that it is infact the perfect intro....however, I have to go with Life In Technicolor....:\

These should be reversed ;)

It is an amazing opening track to a mixtape or whatever (I used it for one once) but my point was it would be the only one I put on the CD :P

 

mm... I can probably think of some other B-Sides I like but that one's definitely the best... probably Coldplay's best song actually, I've never gotten tired of it. :nice:
