I ran away

Of course I do, wish there was a better quality recording though :D

That's true. It all happened when they became too big. Their X&Y fame was still OK, but around Viva they became one of the world's biggest acts and hence mingled with a different kind of "artists". Chris's Hollywood affiliation didn't help either...

Billy Idol - Sweet Sixteen

Billy Idol - Sweet Sixteen

Pink floyd - Learning To Fly

yeah , we need a third person

Joe Satriani - If I could Fly (also known as Viva La Vida, LOL :D)

M. Larsen - If a song could get me you

But probably it's gonna relate to an imagery concerning treasure digging...and has the message that it's not worth looking for treasure elsewhere because your loved ones and your happiness are your real treasures or some similar bla..

Maybe it's inspired by the Windows Media Player visual "X marks the spot". Anyone know it ? I don't even if it exists nowadays, but it was great fun in the early 2000s.

Shiver ?

Come on folks, this is really an easy riddle at this point ! I would even dare to say this saga is somewhat common knowledge (at least in Europe), and one Coldplay song refers explicitly to it.

Shiver ? Spies ?

On the risk of receiving hate comments, but I have to say: I agree with your mom in this assessment !

No More Keeping My Feet On The Ground vs. Eagle (ABBA)

Oh :D Clocks - Coldplay 85 Citizen Erased - Muse 51 Money - Pink Floyd 31 Hitchin' a Ride - Green Day 4

The X&Y artwork is better, I think :) Chris singing in normal voice vs. Chris singing in falsetto

Bigger Stronger or Don't Panic ?

I highly doubt it. The SpongeBob collaboration is for LP8, not this album.

I like your cover, on piano it sounds better than the original to me !!

Fly Up With The Birds In A Sky Full Of Yellow Stars

That's from Bizarre Festival 2000 (I love that performance.) Yellow ?

Clocks - Coldplay 85 Citizen Erased - Muse 51 Money - Pink Floyd 31 Hitchin' a Ride - Green Day 4 This thread has become so boring, it's clear who will win and it's just a formality to eliminate the rest... :(

Coldplay - Moving to Mars

I think there was none before Viva ? And I would like to know that, too. I know the head for one of the singles (In my Place/GPASUYF or sth liek that) was Chris's. My random thought today: Sat in a bakery drinking a coffee when suddenly, Don't Panic came on. It always makes me so happy when Coldplay (or rather, Oldplay) comes on in a public place. Even though I have heard this song a million times and can hear it at will on my phone, I stop everything and listen intently :D
