September 1, 201510 yr Another discussion thread to bridge the waiting time for LP7. Coldplay is remarkable and differs from many other bands out there in that not just one or two songs, but the vast majority of their songs contain timeless, powerful, simply great melodies ! What is your take on Coldplay's most remarkable melodies ? What comes to my own mind immediately (no particular order): Viva La Vida Trouble Politik Gravity Speed Of Sound What If Clocks A View From The Top Fix You Talk (credit goes to Kraftwerk but imho the Coldplay version shines more) A Rush of Blood To The Head The Scientist Cemeteries of London A Message Charlie Brown Ghost Story Things I don't Understand Crests of Waves Fly On Glass Of Water Every Teardrop is a Waterfall LiT and LiTii Lost Shiver Paradise Bigger Stronger Princess of China White Shadows
September 1, 201510 yr ^ Those come to mind for me as well (though I wish we had a better recording of A View From The Top so that we could truly appreciate it). For me, Hurts Like Heaven, Lovers In Japan, Moses, In My Place, Daylight, One I Love, and Major Minus also come to mind. They each have those catchy yet powerful melodies that can fill an arena.

Just to finish off the list above, I'm not sure if you agree with me but here's my picks: Don't Let It Break Your Heart Twisted Logic Don't Panic GPASUYF Amsterdam Only Superstition Brothers & Sisters Animals Rainy Day Now My Feet Won't Touch The Ground Midnight All Your Friends 1.36 Spies 42 Ode To Deodrant Us Against The World Such A Rush
September 1, 201510 yr You've all got to admit that even the piano riff from ASFOS is pretty damn remarkable. And so is the overall melody of the song.
September 1, 201510 yr Lovers in japan, a spell rebel yell, glass of water, how you see the world and moving to mars are some of my favorites.
September 1, 201510 yr Everything. Chris is up there with Paul McCartney and 90's Noel Gallagher in terms of melody for me.
September 1, 201510 yr ^ Agreed. Honestly it's hard to NOT find a Coldplay song with a beautiful melody. Few artists are as skilled as Coldplay in writing powerful melodies.
September 7, 201510 yr Everything. Chris is up there with Paul McCartney and 90's Noel Gallagher in terms of melody for me. This this this. I'm a big fan of Moving to Mars' guitar solo. The chant in VLV is also..PERFECT. Like...how did they do that?!
September 10, 201510 yr Love is the melody of all great music, and Co. have done it well. It's said Glastonbary is near to Earth's 4th Chakra, the Heart (Hear i(ai) T)...May Buddha (in you, like Home in you) helps this time :)
