September 15, 201114 yr Hey all, Just out of curiosity, if you had to make a 'Best of Coldplay' album, what songs would you include? How would the tracklisting go etc and keep it at a size of around about ten songs. Mine would go something like this. 1. The Scientist 2. Yellow 3. Politik 4. Clocks 5. Fix You 6. Viva la Vida 7. Violet Hill 8. Life in Technicolor ii 9. Lovers in Japan 10. Charlie Brown Seems like I have a slight bias towards VLVADTHF haha.
September 16, 201114 yr This is not "the best of coldplay", but since I was bored, I made it. I would name it Life In Technicolor, cause they always name their albums by a song. Front cover: Back cover:
September 16, 201114 yr jeez, only ten songs? :( most 'best of' albums i have seen have a lot more than ten songs on them! :laugh3: but if i had to choose 10 it would go something like this: 1. Don't Panic 2. Lovers in Japan 3. Politik 4. Violet Hill 5. The Scientist 6. Life in Technicolor ii 7. In My Place 8. Fix You 9. Viva La Vida 10. Yellow Though believe me, if I could make it 20 songs I would :)
September 16, 201114 yr 1. Violet Hill 2. Talk 3. Hurts Like Heaven 4. Viva La Vida 5. The Scientist 6. Fix You 7. Lovers In Japan 8. In My Place 9. Yellow 10. Us Against The World 11. God Put A Smile Upon Your Face 12. Trouble 13. Life In Technicolor ii 14. Charlie Brown 15. Politik 16. Strawberry Swing 17. Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall 18. Lost (feat. Jay-Z) 19. Paradise
September 17, 201114 yr They way I figure a best of album is that a band should take NO MORE than 25% of the total number of studio album songs they have released so far. So not including Mylo Xyloto that would equal 10+11+12+10 = 43 .....so 30% would mean about 13 songs... But including Mylo Xyloto I would give the "best of" 3 or 4 extra slots cause Mylo has 14 songs.....not sure if there all "complete" songs though.... So thats 17 songs for 5 albums here they are: 1. Violet Hill 2. Square One 3. In My Place 4. Sparks 5. Viva La Vida 6. I Ran Away (B-side) 6. Moving to Mars (B-side) 7. A Message 8. A Rush of Blood to the Head 9. Clocks 10. Fix You 11. Death and All His Friends (No Escapist) 12. Politik 13. Yellow 14. The Scientist 15. Amsterdam 16. N/A 17. N/A 18. N/A Parachutes: 3 songs AROBTTH: 6 X&Y: 3 Viva la Vida: 3 B-Sides: 2 Mylo Xyloto: At least 3 songs most likely I've got three spots reserved for Mylo Xyloto and I didn't want to put anything on there that has been released yet because I want to hear the full album first. Paradise might make the cut cause I love that song....and I might give it more than 3 songs and take something off, 18 is a good number for 5 albums I think.... But I HAD to put Moving to Mars on here....SUCH a great song, shame it was left off the album :(
September 17, 201114 yr I'd go with: 1. Politik 2. The Scientist 3. Yellow 4. Charlie Brown 5. In My Place 6. Viva la Vida 7. Swallowed in the Sea 8. Clocks 9. Lovers in Japan 10. Strawberry Swing 11. Fix You 12. Amsterdam 13. Everything's Not Lost / Life is for Living (extended version)

September 17, 201114 yr I don't know the exact track listing I would want, but I would definitely want it to include these :nice: : Politik Trouble Don't Panic VLV Violet Hill Fix You In My Place Square One Clocks Yellow ** although I'm not a HUGE fan, but its the obvious break out song lol Amsterdam Shiver ....I can't think of any more.. :( clearly I'm not a HUGE fan of X&Y but I do love the song... ;) Up until this album (since I haven't heard it in its entirety) I can't legitimately add any to my list.... except for maybe HLV lol - I love all their albums thus far... just some more than others :P
