This is just a taste of what's to come! ;) I vote for One I Love.

It is, but y'know what, I thought it'd be eliminated much earlier than it was. :P

Yup, it's quite heavy and it's short and sweet! It's also very different from anything else Coldplay has done, maybe that's because Tim Wheeler plays guitar on it.

That's interesting! With those three title variations, I wonder how you pronounce it?

Side note: is the title 1'36'' or 1.36? Does anyone have a copy of The Scientist single to confirm what it says on the track list?

So now we come to the elimination of Coldplay's beloved second album, A Rush of Blood to the Head. Arguably Coldplay's finest album, their masterpiece, their magnum opus, the vast majority of its songs remain fan favorites. Fans often proclaim their love for these songs when they rage about how they get dropped from the live sets. :P And because there are so many fan favorites, there are a wide range of opinions on which is the best song. I foresee a bloodbath as angry fans fight to the death to save their beloved tune from elimination. Friendships will shatter, hearts will break, and fires will burn in this thread. Are you ready to step into the gauntlet? The contestants are: Politik In My Place God Put a Smile upon Your Face The Scientist Clocks Daylight Green Eyes Warning Sign A Whisper A Rush of Blood to the Head Amsterdam One I Love I Bloom Blaum 1'36'' I Ran Away Crests of Waves Animals Murder Moses Because of the passionate feelings Coldplayers have for these songs, there will only be double eliminations for the first 3 rounds as to give every fan favorite an equal chance. ;) You know you've got a legendary era when it's hard to pick a song in the first round! If you threatened to take my life I'd say I Bloom Blaum.

I must say that the results didn't turn out anything like I expected they would! Tbh, I believe the only reason Don't Panic won was because its biggest competition, Shiver, Yellow, and Everything's Not Lost, were eliminated FAR too early in the game. :P But it's a well deserved winner!! The AROBTTH thread will be up very soon! And we shall see how intense THAT will get..... ;)

And the winner is......

And we now approach the very end with the end of this round!

The final showdown: Don't Panic [video=youtube_share;8uxt-FnNy2I] Vs Spies [video=youtube_share;9QzDHPcNfrw] And we have come to the last round of this era of Coldplay!! It's now a head to head contest between Don't Panic and Spies! Who will YOU choose? I cast my final vote for...........Spies.

Voting is now over! [table=width: 500] [tr] [td]See You Soon[/td] [td]6[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]Trouble[/td] [td]3[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]Don't Panic[/td] [td]2[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]Spies[/td] [td]1[/td] [/tr] [/table] See You Soon is eliminated. Don't break your back, if you ever see this, but don't answer thaaat.... The top three!! Don't Panic Spies Trouble One more round before the final showdown!! I vote for Trouble!

I knew I recognized you! ;) You're one of the best posters on L4e! On there I'm known as mystoryisgory. :)

ROUND OVER! [table=width: 500] [tr] [td]Brothers and Sisters[/td] [td]5[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]See You Soon[/td] [td]3[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]Spies[/td] [td]1[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]Trouble[/td] [td]1[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]Don't Panic[/td] [td]1[/td] [/tr] [/table] And it's it, they're looking for, and it's Brothers and Sisters, it will never survive. But it has been around so loooong. :( The final four: Don't Panic Spies Trouble See You Soon Third to last round folks!! I vote for See You Soon!

Round has now ended!! [table=width: 500] [tr] [td]Only Superstition[/td] [td]9[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]Brothers and Sisters[/td] [td]2[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]See You Soon[/td] [td]2[/td] [/tr] [/table] There was also a vote for Such a Rush though that song was eliminated in an earlier round. The cardboard man, I see, has found its way to Only Superstition. Cards didn't go its way, and it's sure to spoil its day. ;) The final five: Don't Panic Spies Trouble Brothers and Sisters See You Soon It's getting nearly fucking impossible to choose, but I think I'll have to go with See You Soon.

I know, right? Yellow is perhaps their best song even and the one I suspected would win! And Only Superstition is one of my least favorite! P.s. I'm a big Oasis fan, and I remember/participated in that finale! And I nicked this idea from Live4ever. ;) Are you on there?

Such a Rush is long gone.

Both Trouble and Brothers and Sisters have yet to receive votes! Funny isn't it? ;)

End of the round!! [table=width: 500] [tr] [td]Bigger Stronger[/td] [td]7[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]Yellow[/td] [td]3[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]Only Superstition[/td] [td]2[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]Spies[/td] [td]1[/td] [/tr] [/table] Bigger Stronger has run out of charge and Yellow has bled itself dry. Still left standing: Don't Panic Spies Trouble Brothers and Sisters Only Superstition See You Soon Single eliminations from now on!! We're now down to our top 6 songs, and I must say, it doesn't look like anything I thought it would when I first started the game!! And why the fuck is Only Superstition still here? Get out!! Btw, which song do you guys think deserves to win? Personally I'm rooting for Don't Panic.

Looks like we have decisive winners!! [table=width: 500] [tr] [td]Sparks[/td] [td]6[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]Life Is for living[/td] [td]3[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]Yellow[/td] [td]2[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]Only Superstition[/td] [td]1[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]Don't Panic[/td] [td]1[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]See You Soon[/td] [td]1[/td] [/tr] [/table] Did we drive Sparks away? I know what you'll say. Life Is for Living is also gone. Still left standing: Don't Panic Spies Yellow Trouble Bigger Stronger Brothers and Sisters Only Superstition See You Soon Last double elimination before we move on to single eliminations!! I vote for Only Superstition.

Shiver is (unfortunately) already gone.

Ending the round a bit early because I'll be traveling for the rest of the day. Here are the results!! [table=width: 500] [tr] [td]Careful Where You Stand[/td] [td]3[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]Help Is Round the Corner[/td] [td]2[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]Only Superstition[/td] [td]1[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]Yellow[/td] [td]1[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]Life Is for Living[/td] [td]1[/td] [/tr] [/table] After an incredibly long delay, Careful Where You Stand has finally fucked off, along with Help Is Round the Corner Those who have endured: Don't Panic Spies Sparks Yellow Trouble Life Is for Living Bigger Stronger Brothers and Sisters Only Superstition See You Soon Yet again two will be eliminated this round and I vote for Only Superstition. Used to dig this tune, but then I discovered Radiohead. :P

That's exactly what I was worried about, that there was an unfair advantage to those online 24/7. Your proposal is a good one methinks!! I'll try it the next time we have a tie, unless there are any objections. :)

You could just judge it based on the song itself, regardless of the version I guess? But yeah I decided not to include different versions of songs otherwise we'd be here all month. ;)

That's the end of the round!! [table=width: 500] [tr] [td]Easy to Please[/td] [td]4[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]Everything's Not Lost[/td] [td]3[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]Careful Where You Stand[/td] [td]2[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]Help Is Round the Corner[/td] [td]1[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]Yellow[/td] [td]1[/td] [/tr] [/table] Easy to Please is eliminated, along with EVERYTHING'S NOT LOST!!!!!! You guys have just eliminated my favorite song from this era!!! :( The lucky bastards: Don't Panic Spies Sparks Yellow Trouble Life Is for Living Bigger Stronger Brothers and Sisters Only Superstition See You Soon Careful Where You Stand Help Is Round the Corner Double elimination and I once again vote for Careful Where You Stand (can this one just die already? :P). What is everyone's opinion on the tiebreaker system I'm using? Do you guys think it's fair?

SUDDEN DEATH The next person to cast a vote for either Careful Where You Stand or Everything's Not Lost (even if you've already voted) will determine which will be eliminated this round.
