"What if..."

[getithom]

As I was listening to some of Coldplay's b-sides tonight, it made me wonder: what if the b-sides were put on albums, and some of Coldplay's biggest hits were only b-sides?

 

What if Clocks was replaced with Murder?

 

What if Fix You was replaced with How You See the World?

 

Wouldn't it be odd?

[Destrokk]

Yes, it would.

[Carla]

We wouldn't even know for sure since it didn't happen.... it's just like when some of us think some bsides should have been in their albums.

[QuestionsOfScience]

nice, that's an interesting thought!

[The Final Track]

What if Chris had taken Will's advice and trashed Clocks? :wreck: *nips off to comfort self from thought with ice-cream* :escaping2:

[nightmarequeen]

Actually, some of the b-sides are better than some of the songs on the albums. :lol:

 

 

 

i don't like clocks :uhoh:

Well, now that Clocks is a big hit and you hear it everywhere, I prefer Crests Of Waves. But if Crests Of Waves was the big hit that wason the album and Clocks was just a B-side, I'd probably be wondering why it didn't make its way to the album, so.. Either way, same case. :D

I don't like Crests of Waves, but The World Turned Upside-Down and Sleeping Sun are awesome. But I don't want any original X&Y songs off the album though. Why didn't they release an EP back then? Or just make the original X&Y album half an hour longer or something

 

I just can't think of any good AROBTTH b-side... maybe One I love

[Megalomania]

That's very interesting. . . As much as I'd like for some of the b-sides to be on the album, I can't think of a song I'd like them to replace. Except maybe X&Y. I don't really like that song :sick:

[fauo_1995]

Clocks is not one of my favourite songs, but I think it is a really well-made song. I think they could have replaced X&Y, What if and twisted logic.

 

And I insist See you soon should have been on an LP :bigcry:

[flickahidalgo]

^Definitely. See You Soon (sorry to say this but..) in my opinion is way better than clocks. :tongue:

[fauo_1995]

I preffer See You Soon...but musically Clocks is better. The piano arrangements are just awesome...

 

(Sorry if you don't get the idea...my english is terrible :( )

Considering my two favorite songs are Glass of Water and I Ran Away, Coldplay would still be my favorite band even if not one of the LP's existed. :nice:

:hiccup: Sorry, double post! :nice:

Yeah. I also think that those three songs are structured very similarly, so listening to them is repetitive.

[kb<3coldplay]

I Ran Away should have been on AROBTTH.

It is hands down my most favorite Coldplay song EVER!!! :D

[nightmarequeen]

:borg:

 

:sick:

 

Basically, I love Crests of Waves and I ran away much more than Clocks or X&Y. And I think everyone agrees that Moses should have been on an LP, or at least on one of the B-sides.

[The Final Track]

If it hadn't been for Politik, I'm convinced I Ran Away would have been the opener for AROBTTH.
