The alternative video fits more to the song, I think.

 

 

Twisted Logic Tour vs. A Rush Of Blood To The Head Tour

Twisted Logic Tour just because I got to go to their concert during that tour... On my birthday too! :D

 

Fix You or ETIAW (as concert closer)?

100% Fix You - amazing song and just the right, comfortable atmosphere to close a Coldplay concert with !

 

Safety EP vs. Brothers and Sisters EP

Brothers and Sisters EP because the majority of Safety just got re-released on The Blue Room.

 

A View From the Top vs. the clips from the new song :D

Double post.

 

Why always me? Why oh why?

Double post.

 

Why always me? Why oh why?

 

You know, I have the suspicion that YOU may be the reason ;) :P :D

 

A View From The Top ! Such a great song, even in that horrible quality.

 

iHeart Radio Festival vs. Global Citizen festival

Global Citizen Festival hands down... Much better performance all round :)

 

 

Major Minus vs Paradise

Major Minus. There's more Jonny (some of his best guitar playing in my opinion) and more Guy (just listen to that bassline). The lyrics are also amazing...

 

Speed of Sound (album version) vs Speed of Sound (MX tour stripped down version)

Wow, two great versions, but I'll go with the album version because it's just so much more powerful.

 

Yellow (Live 2012) vs Yellow (Live Global Citizen 2015)

Yellow GCF 2015!!! I'm so glad someone else noticed.... That bass and lead guitar are just epic, explosive even! I was almost gonna mention it but thought people might not find that worthy of discussion

 

 

CM + Beck or CM + Faultline?

CM+Faultline. I don't like Beck, and the songs he recorded with Faultline are both truly haunting and unique.

 

Exeter vs. London

Exeter. I've never been outside the United States but it looks smaller and less crowded. Plus, a few of my ancestors who sailed to America in the 1600s (one was a prominent colonial founder) can be traced all the way back to 16th century Exeter.

 

By the way that GCF performance of Yellow is one of my favorites. I adore the whole thing, especially that ending. :)

 

Chris playing guitar vs. Chris playing piano

Piano!!! That's who Chris is

 

Will playing drums vs Will playing guitar :p

Will playing drums. Classic Coldplay needs a strong drumbeat to back up the tracks ! And when Will hits the bells at VLV... :D

 

Coldplay albums under 42 mins of time vs. Coldplay albums over that mark

I honestly don't know.....around 42 worked well with Viva and MX, but not GS....over 42 is what makes X&Y so amazing....

Ill go with over 42 because they have more time to add great songs and new sounds.....plus, it's not like I can ever get bored listening to a Coldplay album if it goes over the 'time limit' :p

 

See You Soon (ep version) vs See You Soon (Live 2003)

See You Soon(Live 2003)

 

December AHFOD album release vs Start of next year AHFOD album release

December release. Even if I'm not hyped about the new album since I have the feeling I will not like the overall sound, there has in every release been at least one Coldplay song I like a lot, so I want to have a new song to get me through the dark winter days :)

 

songs with OOOOOH chants s. songs without

Songs without definitely. Sometimes it's just unnecessary and only there to make a song into a stadium anthem (imagine how great paradise would be with it and the para-para-paras)

 

The bass line of Violet Hill vs the bass line of Clocks

Clocks bass line.

 

Chris rocking off on piano vs. Chris sitting quietly on piano

Chris rocking on piano... He's the only one who ever does that, makes him unique :heart:

 

I'd probably play more but some of the choices are too obscure / hard :)

 

 

Happy Coldplay or darker / melancholic Coldplay?

Definitely darker/melancholic Coldplay. It makes for deeper and better songs.

 

Chris swearing onstage vs. Chris not swearing onstage

Umm..... Chris not swearing onstage ! Actually I don't care whether he does or not :)

 

 

Lost! vs. Lost + with JAY-Z

Definitely Lost! Such a great song when it is not ruined by Jay-Z. Other than that, Chris's friendship with Jay-Z was one of the beginnings of the end of classic Coldplay sound...

 

Chris Allison vs. Ken Nelson

Ken Nelson. I think he ended up fitting better with what Coldplay wanted Parachutes to sound like. I enjoy his crisp, raw production style on the album. The Nelson-produced version of Don't Panic is better than the Chris Allison version in my opinion.

 

Kylie Minogue vs Rihanna

Hm, that's a tough one because I like neither of them. But Princess of China is a song that i like better than Lhuna so I will go for Rihanna.

 

the band when they were totally unknown vs. the band after they had become famous
