Chris's Nuts

We had everyone post their months ago in this thread http://www.coldplaying.com/forum/showpost.php?p=2459700 which gave some rough vote totals for people's favorite songs: http://www.coldplaying.com/forum/showpost.php?p=2459700&postcount=104 However I would like to get the DEFINITIVE Top 50 Coldplay Songs as many people did not rank their lists which is very important in putting together a master list. (for example VLV won for sheer volume of votes but a song like Clocks may actually be higher on people's lists; or not) So here's the new rules: 1. Collaborations are ok, as long as the entire band was in on it (aka no Homecoming, All things come to, etc...) 2. Covers are fine 3. Different versions of songs do not count (No Lost? or Don't Panic Blue room edition etc...) 4. Remixes do not count 5. The songs must be ranked in order. No exceptions this time around. Please. Songs only get slight advantages by being higher in the lists so don't sweat your order that much!! 6. Unreleased songs (but performed live) are ok. 7. You can do a minimum of 25 songs and a maximum of 50 songs in your list. So 25-50 songs on lists are ok. 8. If you want to edit your list later that's fine. Just do not reply post your edits into a new post. Use your original post. If you have a list in the old list thread that was ranked just re-post it in here (search with your username and a songtitle for quick results). If you had a loose list before that needs to be ranked please do so and put it in here. If you are starting from scratch feel free to use any of the above list links and then shuffle them around to make them your own. I'll leave this open for several weeks and hope to get at least the 40+ lists the original thread got. As you'll see in sig I've helped arrange and do top lists for everyone from Radiohead, to the Beatles and Zep, to whole genres of music, so Coldplay deserve the official list treatment.

I do want a definitive Top 50 coldplay song list so I'm going to put out a new thread soon, maybe today. We got a good rough estimate here: http://www.coldplaying.com/forum/showpost.php?p=2459700&postcount=104 as these were based off sheer votes. Most people did not rank any of their lists. I would like to see people rank their favorite songs this time around (no exceptions). I'm not sure if VLV would be top dog if rank came into play as I don't think its in every Top 5 like say Clocks might be.... As for current standings check the first post in this thread or the bracket linked there (See You Soon did get knocked out) .
