In my opinion, most of Coldplay's B-Sides are there best work.

I'm talking about these tracks, I Ran Away,Animals,Bloom Blaum, Moving To Mars, Carefull Where You Stand and more....

 

It's like the tracks where not to commercial enough to put on the excual albums.

 

I also like the albums, there are good songs on it. But i think, the b-sides are the most artistic ones.

yeah their B-sides are some of the most breathtaking songs I know. I'm actually glad they released them all as B-sides because that way we appreciate them more I think

Let's not forget The Goldrush, For You and Lost?

Thats true yes.

Which makes it all the more a shame that we only got one b-side from the MX era. And it was excellent, too... makes you wonder what other fantastic material they're sitting on just because it doesn't fit the 'style' of the album and stuff :P

 

Hopefully somebody from EMI will leak their vaults one day or something XD

 

I never understand when record companies get annoyed about people leaking/pirating unreleased material, it's not like they were going to make money from it anyway...

I live in hope that one day maybe EMI will see sense and release deluxe editions of the albums, featuring the original albums, the b-sides from that era, radio session tracks & some unreleased demos etc

♫ Dreaming is free...

Yeah Moving To Mars is waaaayyyyy better then most of the MX tracks.

Up With The Birds and Moving To Mars are my favs from the mx lp.

Makes you wonder, doesn't it? Why are Coldplay's B-sides usually better than the singles themselves? I owned a copy of the "Fix You" single when I was younger, and I would always play the shit out of "The World Turned Upside Down"!

 

"X and Y... the land, sea, rivers, trees... the stars, the sky"

 

Such an amazing song!

I have to agree, there are some really nice hidden gems there that get overlooked simply because they're not album tracks.

 

This includes some of the alternates that are occasionally nicer than the final song in their own way.

Definitely agree. I Ran Away, For You, Animals and Murder are four of their best songs, easily. What I would give to listen to an entire album sounding like I Ran Away.

My top 5 B-sides would have to be:

 

1) I ran away

2) Proof

3) The goldrush

4) Moving to mars

5) Careful where you stand

My top 5 are:

 

1. I Ran Away

2. Crests of Waves

3. See You Soon

4. Things I Don't Understand

5. Brothers & Sisters (version 3)

I ran away is one of the best overall songs they've done. Great music, great lyrics. What a song.

1. I Ran Away

2. The Goldrush

3. Moving To Mars

4. The World Turned Upside Down

5. For You

 

I wish they still did b-sides :(

Precisly.

I ran away is one of the best overall songs they've done. Great music, great lyrics. What a song.

 

Unbelievable track from Coldplay.

Completely agree! Whenever I get flack for Coldplay being my favourite band I force the naysayer to check out tracks like Moving To Mars, A Spell A Rebel Yell, I Bloom Blaum, 1'36", I Ran Away, the list goes on! As if their albums weren't good enough, the B-Sides show so much more talent and exploration!

My top 10 -

 

1. I Run Away

2. Moving To Mars

3. Animals

4. Careful where you stand

5. The world turned upside down

6. Proof

7. How You See The World (No.2)

8. The Goldrush

9. Gravity

10. Murder

I Ran Away is for sure their best b-side imo, so calming and relaxing, its always in my top 5 Coldplay songs. Things I don't Understand, Animals, Moving to Mars and Proof are among my other favourites, pretty much every B-side is so strong though!

Things I Don't Understand and How You See the World are their best b-sides, in my opinion.

Sleeping Sun and Gravity

I Ran Away & Things I Don't Understand.

See You Soon is better than most of the songs on Parachutes, beautiful tune.

Best b-sides era is Parachutes
