So now we come to the elimination of Coldplay's beloved second album, A Rush of Blood to the Head. Arguably Coldplay's finest album, their masterpiece, their magnum opus, the vast majority of its songs remain fan favorites. Fans often proclaim their love for these songs when they rage about how they get dropped from the live sets. :P And because there are so many fan favorites, there are a wide range of opinions on which is the best song. I foresee a bloodbath as angry fans fight to the death to save their beloved tune from elimination. Friendships will shatter, hearts will break, and fires will burn in this thread. Are you ready to step into the gauntlet?

The contestants are:

Politik

In My Place

God Put a Smile upon Your Face

The Scientist

Clocks

Daylight

Green Eyes

Warning Sign

A Whisper

A Rush of Blood to the Head

Amsterdam

One I Love

I Bloom Blaum

1'36''

I Ran Away

Crests of Waves

Animals

Murder

Moses

 

Because of the passionate feelings Coldplayers have for these songs, there will only be double eliminations for the first 3 rounds as to give every fan favorite an equal chance. ;)

You know you've got a legendary era when it's hard to pick a song in the first round! If you threatened to take my life I'd say I Bloom Blaum.

Animals

Daylight

A Whisper

Green eyes

1.36

I Bloom Blaum

You are right when you say a bloodbath, this is the first round and there's only been six votes and people are already voting for songs I hold very dear. Parachutes was fun, this is going to be more fun. I'd like to see Politik win but if I was to hazard a prediction I would say the final four will be:

1. Warning Sign

2. Clocks

3. Politik

4. The Scientist

 

I predict now The Scientist (mainly due to the poll so far) will come out on top. I vote for 1.36 this round.

I Bloom Blaum

I vote 1'36.. Hmm except for Crests of Waves, think I'm pretty much gonna be voting for the B-sides first.

I bloom blaum

A Whisper without a doubt.

 

I Bloom Blaum gets my axe if it survives another day.

I Bloom Blaum is an amazing title (Just rolls off the tongue). It is probably one of the weaker b sides but nonetheless I still think its a great song.

I'd love for it to be a bit longer...fits in a bit better with Parachutes however.

Side note: is the title 1'36'' or 1.36? Does anyone have a copy of The Scientist single to confirm what it says on the track list?

A whisper. Great song but repetitive.

I've also seen 1°36

That's interesting! With those three title variations, I wonder how you pronounce it?

The title is 1.36

You're welcome [emoji6]

 

"I live to see the world"

I really like 1.36 - one of the few times it sounds like they're pulling no punches.

Yup, it's quite heavy and it's short and sweet! It's also very different from anything else Coldplay has done, maybe that's because Tim Wheeler plays guitar on it.

Oh dear, this just gets harder and harder :(

I think first, I have to vote for A Whisper
