I hate compilation albums, you always end up with tons of tracks twice taking up space on your computer just for a couple of new songs that could have been B-sides or made into an EP.

I doubt the guys will do any sort of compilation album / greatest hits album / etc. because they've said several times that they don't want to make their fans pay for their songs more than once :)

 

EDIT: Although a compilation album that consisted of their best live performances would be awesome :wacky: For instance, you could have Clocks - Toronto 2006 and then God Put A Smile Upon Your Face - Oxegen 2011, then Charlie Brown - Glastonbury 2011, etc.

I just make my own :P,

The guys might not want to do one, but if EMI wants one they will release it with the bands blessings or not

Remember, this is not a debate on whether Coldplay is going to release a compilation album. This is a thread discussing IF Coldplay released a compilation album after Mylo Xyloto, what would its name and tracklisting be?
