August 19, 201213 yr Hello everyone, so I was thinking the other day...Coldplay has some really catchy and amazing riffs, so why don't we make lists of our 5 favourite ones? It doesn't matter if it's piano, guitar, bass or anything else. Mine would be: Charlie Brown (guitar/piano) Life In Technicolor (strange instrument I don't know the name) In My Place (guitar) Lovers In Japan (tack piano, don't really know if it counts as a riff but...) Clocks (piano)
August 20, 201213 yr DAMN, I love them all... but as you have cruelly limited me to just five, I'd have to go for: Clocks In My Place (been a while since I listened to that one, cheers for the reminder - off to itunes I go :D ) Charlie Brown ETIAW Talk
August 20, 201213 yr Awesome thread idea! :) Mine would have to be: - Charlie Brown - Talk - Life in Technicolor - Speed of Sound - In My Place Musically I love Viva la Vida, the violins and everything....but that's not really a riff obviously.
August 21, 201213 yr In no particular order.... Bigger Stronger Major Minus God Put A Smile Upon My Face in concert One I Love Clocks So many!!!!!
August 21, 201213 yr No order: Life In Technicolor Clocks MX/Hurts Like Heaven/Charlie Brown Strawberry Swing Whisper Pour Me Death And All Of His Friends/The Escapist

August 21, 201213 yr So many to choose from! Shiver Violet Hill Trouble Yellow Politik A Rush of Blood to the Head
August 21, 201213 yr I loooooooooove the piano in Clocks Agreed! So much of my love for Coldplay's music is much deeper than the lyrics. If I could just take out the lyrics in Clocks, I would get deeply lost in just the music. (btw - my absolute favorite Coldplay songs usually have to do with the music, over lyrics, and over what is popular or what is the most obscure track I can find).

August 22, 201213 yr The piano in Lovers in Japan, Clocks, and at the end of Charlie Brown (beautiful after a high energy song) The guitar entrance in Fix You The bass in Sparks and of course the drums in Viva (I know its kinda cliche but it makes the song i don't know...lol) Sorry I really am a piano girl I know I don't give the other guys very good kudos but I love the piano!!!
