Definitely Viva. Only Superstition is good, but it seems kind of half-formed.

Ahem...to keep it going. "...It's my thing..."

Wow, this is tough... Viva la Vida Death and All His Friends Violet Hill Strawberry Swing Life in Technicolor ii Special recognition to Cemeteries of London, Glass of Water, Lost!, Lovers in Japan, 42, and Yes.

Mine is pretty much exactly like their setlist during the Viva tour, with a few additions to make the concert longer (and a little better, in my opinion). 1. Life In Technicolor 2. Square One 3. Violet Hill 4. Clocks 5. In My Place 6. Parachutes 7. Yellow 8. Glass Of Water 9. Cemeteries Of London 10. 42 11. Swallowed in the Sea 12. Strawberry Swing 13. God Put A Smile Upon Your Face 14. Talk 15. The Hardest Part 16. Postcards From Far Away 17. Viva La Vida 18. Lost! ACOUSTIC 19. Spies 20. Sparks 21. Green Eyes 22. A Message 23. Now My Feet Won't Touch the Ground 24. Politik 25. Lovers in Japan 26. Death and All His Friends ENCORE 27. The Scientist 28. A Rush of Blood to the Head 29. Fix You 30. Life in Technicolor ii 31. The Escapist

Death and All His Friends

:laugh3:

Well, in the Rolling Stone interview, Chris said the following... And yeah, Coldplay might still exist...but they would be so different that I'm not sure they would even be to my taste anymore. And I still hold that they might not exist at all, since if you read the actual article it seems like U2 are what inspired Chris to become a musician in the first place. http://www.rollingstone.com/music/lists/5702/31963/32099 And I hadn't heard that Bob Dylan was Chris's biggest influence...Bob Dylan's great, but his singing voice... *shudders*

7/8 songs from the new album, and in no particular order, a selection from the following... Don't Panic (Acoustic) Spies (Acoustic) Yellow Clocks Fix You The Scientist White Shadows Politik Viva la Vida Violet Hill Green Eyes (Acoustic) A Rush of Blood to the Head Strawberry Swing Death and All His Friends Lost! Glass of Water This is just my ideal set list, mind you. I would love to hear an acoustic Spies. :)

When you are writing a short story about the middle ages for school and unthinkingly add "play" onto the end of the word "cold"... ...And you turn the assignment in without realizing it. :(

Only Superstition. "...diamond..."

I respect Taylor Swift as an artist, and I have no problem with her. The similarity may just be coincidence anyway. But assuming she did steal the intro; Hey, it just means that she appreciates Coldplay enough to recognize how amazing they are...and that's a good thing! Brava, Taylor, you have good taste. Keep it up! Viva la Coldplay. Speaking of which, what did you guys think if her cover of Viva la Vida? I enjoyed it, I thought the guitars were I nice switch, and Taylor's voice has always been pretty good. Obviously it's nowhere near as good as the original...but it's not her fault that Coldplay's untouchable. :P

When Radiohead recorded Kid A, everyone believes they did something phenomenal. They completely overhauled their own style, spinning something new and ingenious. Don’t get me wrong, Kid A was brilliant. But in my opinion, it is not the ability to entirely change direction that makes a band truly great, but the ability to expand within their own genre. The same applies to Coldplay. They have done something great in that they have taken an already overused style and made it fresh again. Think about it…is it easier to make good music in a style that has hardly been explored yet, or to create fantastic music in a genre in which everything has supposedly already been done? Coldplay openly admit that they have been heavily influenced by a multitude of other bands, particularly U2. Heck, Chris Martin even wrote the article for the Rolling Stone magazine that recognized U2 as one of the greatest artists of all time, at the same time publicly confessing the awe he felt for said band. STill, Coldplay have style all their own, despite what others say. If U2 were to perform an unreleased Coldplay song, I almost guarantee I would be able to identify it as Coldplay’s when performed with a lineup of unreleased U2 songs. If Coldplay pulled a “Kid A” and completely changed their direction, they would probably alienate not only me, but the millions they have enchanted right from the beginning. U2 is one of the biggest reasons Coldplay started in the first place, and I don’t think its fair to expect that they simply let go of their roots and thrust themselves into territory they are not comfortable with. U2 is part of Coldplay, too much a part for them to simply give up. I thank God for U2, because without them, Coldplay wouldn't exist. Viva la U2. Viva la Coldplay. Viva la Vida.

Bon Jovi is the only other half-decent artist playing.

Morning: Strawberry Swing & Yellow Evening: Amsterdam & Now My Feet Won't Touch the Ground

Thom Yorke doesn't need any help to write incredible songs. Coldplay should give songs to people who really need them.

Parachutes: Mellow AROBTTH: Incredible X&Y: Future Viva la Vida: Colorful

It's a good idea, and I agree. But personally, I think Roadie #42 just meant that most of the info and ideas for the album are in the closed notebook. Gah, everything we want to know is right there in that book, and all we can see is the stupid cover! D: Oh well, I'm still happy we're being kept updated.

Lovers in Japan (Acoustic) Death and All His Friends A Rush of Blood to the Head (Live) Life In Technicolor ii Clocks This is just today though. Gaurantee my favorites will change again tomorrow. :P

At least we wouldn't have to make the transition to calling it something else. :P

Really? Interesting. I rather like it. You know, this is just an idea, we can't really pick the best title for an album until we've heard the album. Also, the title has to also be the title of a song on the album, and I gauruntee that the vast majority of these songs won't make it on anyway. If there were any chance they would, we probably wouldn't know their names. :P

It shall be called Coldplay V, in the same way that Led Zeppelin's fourth album was titled (or rather, untitled), Led Zeppelin IV.

I don't think that Wedding Bells, Spanish Rain or Christmas Lights will make it on. Here's my ideal tracklist though. Chris said there would probably be no more than nine tracks, so the slashes mean that there are two songs on a track, similair to "Lovers in Japan/Reign of Love" and "Yes/Chinese Sleep Chant." Cartoon Head is a short introduction similar to the instrumental LiT, whereas Harmony is a hidden track. Cartoon Heart will be the best song they have ever written. :) And forgive the cover, I came up with the idea and made it in like 5 minutes. "Cartoon Heart" 1. Cartoon Head / Gardeners on the Frontline 2. Lucky Sevens 3. Buzz 4. Alien Radio 5. Aiko / Harmony 6. Spanish Rain 7. Wilderness 8. Love in a Lethal Dose 9. Cartoon Heart Wedding Bells would be a b-side for the first single; Alien Radio. :)

OMG SEX VIOLENCE COULD ACTUALLY BE A COVER OF NEVER GONNA GIVE YOU UP!!! o_o

I would, but I'd could only do 1 (1.36), possibly 2 (2000 miles), and 4 (42). :cry:
