Zero Theory

I've been trying to talk to my brother, but I can't get through.

Forgive me if this type of thing has already been a thread. But how about everyone list their top 11 favorite Coldplay songs, and an overall top 11 best/favorite songs you've ever heard+one line why you chose each song. I tried to limit to only 2 Coldplay songs in my top 11 lol I'll Begin- 1.Coldplay- Clocks -My all time favorite song, the piano riff is just mesmerizing 2. Coldplay- Fix You -Most emotional song I've ever heard 3. Eric Clapton- Tears in Heaven -Very sad song that makes me think of my dad who loves Clapton 4. The Temper Trap- Sweet Disposition Lyrics and vibe is incredible, the song is otherworldly 5. John Lennon- Imagine Take whatever your politics are out of this, it is an awesome song to listen to and contemplate the lyrics 6. R.E.M.- Losing My Religion Very creative song, nostalgiac, lyrics are super unique 7. The Verve- Bittersweet Symphony One of the best riffs I've heard, lyrics are great 8. U2- Beautiful Day An exceptional song, the SB halftime show made me love this song 9. Pearl Jam- Just Breathe Acoustic riff is awesome 10. Queen- Bohemian Rhapsody Maybe the greatest masterpiece of rock 11. Kanye West-Runaway Essentially Kanye's Bohemian Rhapsody or Magnus Opus, incredible song 1. Clocks 2. Fix You 3. Viva La Vida Not much needs to be said about why this is here, especially after seeing it live 4. Politik Most underrated song by them, the piano progression in the middle is unbelievable 5. The Scientist An all time classic 6. Swallowed in the Sea The live version from the X&Y era is just incredible, especially the piano at the end 7. Strawberry Swing Fairly polarizing song by them, Jonny's best work arguably, has a vibe like no other song 8. Warning Sign Beautiful yet depressing 9. Yellow A classic, had to be on here somewhere 10. Square One Their best piece of rock by them, incredible intro to an album, the piano/guitar/bass/synths/everything is awesome 11. Daylight Another super underrated song, very unique

There certainly is a lot to get through... and don't forget Prospekt's March EP (IMO their best output outside of the 7 studio albums) I don't know if you saw, but unfortunately in a recent interview with their manager, he said they won't be touring again until 2021 at the earliest (but that doesn't mean we couldn't get an album between now and then).

I am absolutely addicted to this live version right now. It's been running in my head for 3 days now.

Welcome! The further back you go in their discography, the better it gets;) That's very similar to how I become a Coldplayer a couple years ago.... had heard Magic, ASFOS, Fix You while also realizing "Wow this is really the same band that wrote The Scientist, Clocks, Yellow, VLV, Paradise?" And then I finally worked through every song they've released and love 95% of all of their songs just as much as the ones I had loved all along throughout the years. Enjoy your ride through all of the albums. It's like each takes you on a different emotional journey. But don't over-indulge like I did (listening to every album a gazillion times a day), because we've got a little ways to go before the next album haha. It'll leave you dying for more. It was like binge-watching all 7 seasons of a great show on Netflix in 2 weeks, then now having to wait 3+ years until season 8.

Woah this is so cool! I live not too far I'll have to check it out.

Talk

Thanks for organizing once again @I ran away! Too bad we didn't have more people but it was fun nonetheless!

How does one even right a song like this

@I ran away have the tears from Fix You caused your computer to stop working :joy:

LIIIIIIGHTS WILL GUIDEE YOU HOME

Now this last one is impossible to get sick of

In My Place is classic, but I've gotten a bit sick of it.

Best ending of any live song ever. Stunning

OH WHAT GOOD IS TO LIIIIVE WITH NOTHING LEFT TO GIIIIIIVE

OMG yes. Top 10 Coldplay songs for me right here

JONNY BOYYYYYY

Especially Jonny's solo. Can't wait

It really is just banger after banger in an X&Y concert

I appreciate Ghost Stories, a good amount of MX and a couple songs on AHFOD. But their first 4 albums are true Coldplay. But I mean, they were a rock band, now they are a pop band. Not saying their new music stinks, they just aren't the same.

Too good

Yep, back when they were a rock band.

THE GREATEST SONG OF ALL TIME IN THE GREATEST ERA OF IT

Lou Reed asked Coldplay to do a cover of his song? Lol ok Chris
