December 1, 201114 yr Since Coldplay now have five albums out, it's time for me to compile my list of the 25 best songs they've ever released (IMO). I'm including only songs that have been released on any format such as album, EP or single. Unreleased songs that we've only heard live versions of don't count - if the band wanted those songs to be judged as part of their discography, then they'd have released them in some way, shape or form, the way I look at it. This is my own personal opinion. I would like to see other users contribute their lists and perhaps give reasonings as to why they chose certain songs (which I plan on doing at some point, just thought I'd get my actual list in here first though). TOP 25: 1.) The Scientist 2.) Shiver 3.) Clocks 4.) Amsterdam 5.) Charlie Brown 6.) Viva la Vida 7.) Strawberry Swing 8.) A Rush of Blood to the Head 9.) Trouble 10.) Yellow 11.) Talk 12.) Green Eyes 13.) Hurts Like Heaven 14.) Speed of Sound 15.) Warning Sign 16.) Don't Panic 17.) Fix You 18.) Life in Technicolour II 19.) Death and All His Friends 20.) Spies 21.) In My Place 22.) Square One 23.) Paradise 24.) White Shadows 25.) Politik STATS: Parachutes - 5 songs A Rush of Blood to the Head - 8 songs X&Y - 5 songs Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends - 3 songs Prospekt's March - 1 song Mylo Xyloto - 3 songs Non-album - 0 songs Discuss my list, share your own, and so on. I've seen threads that ask for top 10 songs and such, but none that ask for this many and none that actively ask for discussion on each other's lists, which is why I've posted this.

December 1, 201114 yr Don't understand how people can even pick their top 3. We all have favourites but it constantly changes for me, sometimes I'm sick of a song then sometimes I can't get enough of it. Sorry.

It's hard. I can easily rank the albums, but I can't pick songs. It depends on the season of the year, the day of the week, the time of the day, which album/song I last listened to, the colour of shirt I'm wearing... It changes all the time. I don't know. Don't count, there are 27.
December 1, 201114 yr Don't understand how people can even pick their top 3.
