^ Low? "All you ever wanted was love" "Living in perfect symmetry" "'Nothing is as down or as up" Not entirely sure.

While I'm not fully opposed to the idea, it seems we're running the risk of these types of "band weeks" becoming overly excessive. I'm not even talking about comparing Radiohead's prestige to Snow Patrol's (although Radiohead certainly has a larger fanbase here), but this might be the beginning of overkill.

Holy cow, so much I didn't know about Phil! :shocked2: Keep up the great work!!!

Ladder to the Sun? Yellow makes me think of the beach, though that's probably because of the video. :P

Agreed about Trouble. The piano just suits it well. Maybe even Strawberry Swing.

Got it! :D

Easy to Please - Coldplay

The lyrics were actually the reason I didn't like Fix You at first. I thought they were childish. Granted, I've since come to really appeciate the song for reasons other than lyrics. But no one's gonna stop me from liking 42's. :P

Lemme give this thing a whirl... Hope it's not too blatant.

Pride (In the Name of Love) - U2

I could make an immature joke out of 69 DAYS... ...but I won't. :P

I suppose I mainly like the lyrical theme in 42. Though repetitive at the beginning, it still really sums up many of the death-based moods of the album, especially the whole "You thought you might be a ghost, you didn't get to heaven but you made it close" part. And yes, how could I forget to mention The Scientist? AROBTTH is probably the strongest album lyrically.

^ Thinking the same noonsun - Uh...Clocks? Lights go out and I can't be saved Tides that I tried to swim against

Not to mention that there was plenty of bad pop before Miley. Honestly, I have some difficulty finding pop in VLV outside of the title track, and even then, it's not "pop" in a traditional sense. Some of the songs like LIJ are certainly more peppy than the older Coldplay norm, but like I said, I think it's still outnumbered by the amount of low-key tracks.

Heehee, great thread idea. This is certainly Amsterdam, but maybe I'll be quick enough to answer another one! :D

Your Protector - Fleet Foxes

Was gonna mention AROBTTH, but another powerful one is Amsterdam. Same with 42. Heck, even Viva La Vida is great lyrically.

"HARVEY" :D Or if it's a female, then I think Lhuna would be a great name, as others suggested.

Shame and Fortune - Yeah Yeah Yeahs

Yeah, sorry to kill any hopes of it being a single, but we also would have been informed through official sources beforehand about it. I actually think it's great to have a cherished, high-energy song like this that isn't a single. :)

I'm not sure what SP songs are most accessible, but the entire album that "Run" comes from - Final Straw - is very solid. I'm tempted to say that Eyes Open is a more mainstream album and the material on it may be easier to get into at first, though. Songs on it like "Chasing Cars" and "You're All I Have" are some of the more well-known ones, and it contains one of my personal favorites - "Make This Go on Forever".

The World Turned Upside Down - Coldplay

Jetstream - Doves

Yellow Since I heard it on the radio today for maybe the first time in years.

In terms of consistent quality, Futurama may be the best cartoon ever on that front. I got around to watching their 4 new DVD-exclusive releases, and all but the 3rd one are really good. But I'm not counting on any full revival. American Dad is an okay show that's probably better than modern Family Guy but nothing I watch regularly. Peoeple debate the Simpsons' "golden" age. I tend to mark it from Seasons 2-9. There sometimes are great episodes that still pop up every now and then; shame they are indeed lost among the heaps of garbage.
