Finally! I thought I would never be asked! :D

 

In no particular order, but my ten fav are:

 

- Don´t panic

- What if

- Lost

- Strawberry Swing

- Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall

- Up in flames (yep I love Jonny´s little riff mid song!)

- Paradise

- Charlie Brown

- Politik

- Violet Hill

 

Ok seeing others´lists I realize ten are just not enough....Jonny´s riffs are the life and soul of Coldplay songs!

Ok was supposed to be doing an essay, but this provided a nice distraction! Here are the ones which stand out (couldn't decide on a Top 10!);

 

Don't Panic, Spies (especially Live), You Only Live Twice, God Put A Smile Upon Your Face (especially Live), Daylight, A Rush Of Blood To The Head (Live intro), 1'36", One I Love, What If, Fix You, Low, 42, Chinese Sleep Chant, Charlie Brown, Hurts Like Heaven.

 

But my all time favourite Jonny guitar part? Despite the fact I don't usually credit VLV songs as much...

 

Death And All His Friends.

 

Sublime. Jonny you are the most underrated guitarist of all time!

Politik

 

This is my number one, that may sound strange. Jonny's riff at the end of the song has only three different notes, but the feeling it gives me is so fantastic. Everything fits together in that song.

 

Major Minus

Death And All His Friends

Square One

Moses

Spies

Everything's Not Lost

Lovers In Japan

Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall

In My Place

 

I've picked not the hardest ones, but these riffs are just perfect for the songs.
