June 24, 201115 yr Coldplay - Their Ten Best Songs video To mark Coldplay's headline appearance at Glastonbury Festival 2011 - and the imminent release of their fifth album - we've selected our pick of the band's ten best songs. What's at number one? Only one way to find out.. LINK: http://www.nme.com/nme-video/coldplay-ten-best-songs/1019417296001 Do you agree? Why / Why not ?
June 24, 201115 yr Interesting list... Viva la Vida and Speed of Sound don't belong as high as they do although I personally love both songs. I've never been the biggest fan of Don't Panic; I love the song but I've never found it to be any sort of masterpiece. Most interesting addition to the list is Talk, but I LOVE that song so I'm a little biased. I feel like the list missed out on a couple Viva-era songs that definitely deserved a spot - Violet Hill, 42, Cemeteries of London (which I'd argue is just as "slinky" as GPASUYF), Lovers in Japan, Strawberry Swing, Life in Technicolor i/ii. And I'm guessing the list excludes LP5/new songs, but I think Moving to Mars would've had a legitimate chance at being on the list too. Meh, ten slots is too few to accommodate the oodles of good songs that Coldplay has. :smug:
June 24, 201115 yr No way they would put Moving to Mars on a list like this. It's only been out for a few hours, after all. :rolleyes:
June 24, 201115 yr I think I missed Violet Hill and/or Litii, but for the rest this shortlist is quite okay. Oh and btw I love it with Yellow it says: ''From the album Parachutes: 2005'' haha:P
June 25, 201115 yr I don't see why the scientist is the best. Clocks and GPASUYF shoud have been higher.
June 25, 201115 yr I agree that it is only the best singles's list, not best songs. Pretty good list though. However, the description of Chris writing Fix You shortly before Bruce Paltrow's death?? Did I read this wrong or did they put the description wrong?
June 25, 201115 yr Pretty good list though. However, the description of Chris writing Fix You shortly before Bruce Paltrow's death?? Did I read this wrong or did they put the description wrong? You read it wrong. "Chris Martin wrote this song on a keyboard his father-in-law Bruce Paltrow had purchased just before his death as a present for Martin's daughter, Apple." "Just before his death" modifies the purchase of the keyboard, not the writing of the song.
June 25, 201115 yr The Scientist is not my favourite song, but i think It Is the best coldplay song :) I would exclude VLV, but i think the list is okay.
