We missed the good part then we realized. The super-lucky seven: Politik In My Place God Put a Smile upon Your Face The Scientist Clocks A Rush of Blood to the Head Amsterdam WARNING SIGN HAS BEEN ELIMINATED?????????????? THIS MEANS WAR!! I DECLARE WAR ON IN MY PLACE!!!!!!!

Geez...if we did that I'd have to listen to Live 2003/2012 and LRLRL again and I haven't touched them in years!! :D But we can definitely do that and a b-sides elimination! :)

What for? I've already been including the b-sides from every era in the album eliminations. But if you're proposing that we do an elimination to find out what the best b-side is then we can definitely do that! :)

Ok what's up with the votes for Warning Sign? Surely the coda is one of the best moments in Coldplay?

I agree! I was already planning to do that, but hopefully the eliminations take us past the release of AHFOD so we can include that era in the grand finale as well!! :)

Surprised it made it this far tbh. The enduring eight: Politik In My Place God Put a Smile upon Your Face The Scientist Clocks Warning Sign A Rush of Blood to the Head Amsterdam This is the point where it becomes genuinely impossible to choose a song. I'll go with.....In My Place.

But I think I'll go with Crests of Waves.

"So I'm gonna buy a gun and start a war, if you can tell me something worth fighting for" might just be the best Coldplay lyric ever. Just sayin'. ;)

Yes of course I'm serious! Green Eyes is a gorgeous song but Moses is the more effective and genuine love song in my opinion! ;)

Ending the round early because of the obviously decisive winner and because my schedule will change soon, so I'll have to end rounds around this time of day now!

And why is Green Eyes still here? It's worse than Moses for sure!

List of targets: Politik In My Place God Put a Smile upon Your Face The Scientist Clocks Green Eyes Warning Sign A Rush of Blood to the Head Amsterdam Crests of Waves Moses Once again I vote for Green Eyes. What's it still doing here??

Because of the tendency of songs without many votes to come in second and "piggyback" on the first place song during double eliminations, I thought that we should give the 13 songs that survived the first 3 rounds a better chance of survival, as many of them are fan favorites. We've got enough angry Coldplayers here already, don't we? ;) (including myself tbh) But we'll go back to the old system for X&Y, don't worry. :)

100% agree with you there. We need only look at one of Coldplay's biggest influences, U2, to know that failure can be a wake up call for a band. After Rattle and Hum came Achtung Baby! And we know that Coldplay is capable of so much more than bland pop songs like ASFOS. We need only look at their first 4 albums for proof of that! ;)

It's alright! Others were confused by the rules too! :)

Well @I Ran Away, do you still wish you changed your vote? :P A Rush of Songs to Your Head: Politik In My Place God Put a Smile upon Your Face The Scientist Clocks Daylight Green Eyes Warning Sign A Rush of Blood to the Head Amsterdam Crests of Waves Moses The fury rages on in this intense elimination! I vote for Green Eyes!

Voting is currently restricted to Moses, Green Eyes, and I Ran Away. Please choose one of them instead so we can break the current tie! Don't worry, you'll be able to vote for The Scientist next round. :)

You already voted earlier KidA! :P The tie has yet to be broken! If you HAVE NOT ALREADY VOTED you may cast a vote to break the tie! :P

Well @I Ran Away, had you not changed your vote, we would've had a decisive winner! But instead we do not! We have three songs tied for 1st place! Voting is now restricted to Green Eyes, Moses, and I Ran Away! You can only vote if you have not already voted and you can no longer change your vote.

Sure, you can change your vote any time before voting closes! :)

The round is now over!!

The survivors: Politik In My Place God Put a Smile upon Your Face The Scientist Clocks Daylight Green Eyes Warning Sign A Rush of Blood to the Head Amsterdam I Ran Away Crests of Waves Moses Single eliminations from now on! With poor Animals gone, I think I'll have to go with Green Eyes.

Btw Portuguese Coldplayer your vote for 1.36 was not counted because you had already voted for Murder earlier and only those who had not already voted could break the tie.

Round over! [table=width: 500] [tr] [td]Murder[/td] [td]8[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]1.36[/td] [td]4[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]Animals[/td] [td]3[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]One I Love[/td] [td]1[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]Daylight[/td] [td]1[/td] [/tr] [/table] Oh they're gonna murder Murder and 1.36!! And they're gonna take them down!! Even before I sleep, I scream "MURDERRRRRRRRRR!!!!!" What could you possibly gain? :( The survivors: Politik In My Place God Put a Smile upon Your Face The Scientist Clocks Daylight Green Eyes Warning Sign A Rush of Blood to the Head Amsterdam One I Love I Ran Away Crests of Waves Animals Moses Last double elimination of this game! I vote for One I Love, the Bunnymen cover with an R.E.M. title.

Currently 1.36 and Animals are tied for second place. In order to give enough time to break this tie, voting is now restricted to these two songs and the next person to cast a vote for one or the other will decide which will be eliminated. N.B. Per I Ran Away's suggestion, only those who have not already voted may cast a vote to break the tie. If anybody has any concerns about the new new tie breaking system feel free to say something. :)

Everyone's hating on Murder? :'( Coldplay's darkest song, and very unique in their catalog?
