And what order?

 

I was thinking it would be cool to make a playlist that chronologically samples each era and includes various detours in b-sides but is about album length (or a bit longer).

 

What would you pick for such a playlist?

Parachutes — Trouble and Yellow

AROBTTH — Daylight, Politik and In my place

X&Y — Fix you and Talk

VLVODAAOHF — Viva la vida and Strawberry swing

MX — Paradise and ETIAW

Ghost stories — ASFOS, Allways in my head, oceans and Magic

AHFOD — AHFOD, AOAL and Birds

Parachutes - Yellow and Everything's Not Lost

AROBTTH - Politik and GPASUYF

X&Y - What If and Speed of Sound

Viva la Vida - Viva la Vida and Cemeteries of London

Mylo Xyloto - Paradise and Up with the Birds

Ghost Stories - Always In My Head and Ink

AHFOD - AHFOD and AOAL

Well, that would be a double album I guess :D

All these are so good!

 

This is so hard for me, too, because too few songs to make it "album" length! Maybe impossible.

 

Amazon also made a "Best of" playlist but no b-sides, which is unfortunate. This is 50 songs. I think no particular order?
