Isn't School just the piano part of DAAHF and has technically already been released?

Fun is this lovely song right here that they gave to Natalie Imbruglia. A Coldplay version is not available at the moment. ;) I was wondering the same thing too! If it does appear again on AHFOD it'll probably be the best song on the album. :) [video=youtube;X4egrp2Q_zI]

So now it's time to eliminate the poor unreleased songs which unfortunately never even made the b-sides. Many Coldplayers have said that Coldplay has many masterpieces among these gems which exist only in the public sphere as live performances or unfinished demos. Now, let us find out which of these is the best!! ;) Ode to Deodorant So Sad Harmless Idiot A Ghost A View from the Top If She Comes Back Someone to Love Sweet Marianne Ladder to the Sun Solid Ground (Until the Water Flows Over) The World Turns Upside Down (Your World's Turned Upside Down) St. Stephen The Fall of Man Bloodless Revolution The Man Who Swears First Steps Loveless Goodbye and Goodnight Bucket for a Crown Lukas Fun Famous Old Painters The Dubliners Don Quixote (Spanish Rain) Wedding Bells Aiko Gone But Not F. Cotton My first vote goes to Loveless. Now it may not be fair to include half-songs like this but if anyone has any objections I'll remove it and So Sad.

And the winner of the Ghost Stories elimination is....

"People who want us to be a rock band might be disappointed, but I don't think we really are a rock band." Wtf is this shit? Were the first 4 albums not rock albums? R.I.P. OLDPLAY 1998-2009

I just realized something! My favorite song has not won any eliminations!! :( Parachutes: Everything's Not Lost AROBTTH: Amsterdam X&Y: Swallowed in the Sea VLVODAAHF: 42 MX: Charlie Brown GS: Midnight Guess I'm not your average Coldplayer. ;)

Do you guys remember how some lucky girl managed to purchase GS on vinyl before its release and subsequently got blasted with messages asking her to leak the album? I remember that she uploaded a low quality recording of AIMH but that's it.

Ok guys let's not get too excited here yet! We don't know if this song will sound anything like Flo Rida, so let's reserve judgement until we hear the track. :) But Avicii????? Fuck off!!!

Ok guys, you're right!! Midnight was indeed eliminated last round! Sorry about that!! Guess that's what I get for counting at 12:00 MIDNIGHT. :P Here's a revised tally: [table=width: 500] [tr] [td]Midnight[/td] [td]12[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]Ghost Story[/td] [td]11[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]Fly On[/td] [td]4[/td] [/tr] [/table] I decided to count @hurtlikeheaven's vote for Fly On because they did say that they were voting for Fly On.... But no worries!! Let's remove all ambiguities with this announcement!! IMPORTANT NOTICE: When you are voting, you vote for the song you think is worst that you want ELIMINATED, not the one you want to win. If a song is eliminated, then it will not win the game. We will now restart the round as it should have ended yesterday!! Please vote again if you've already voted in the round with the error. :) The (real) Final Showdown!! [video=youtube;Ap-HeMIKi-c] vs [video=youtube;0-XXX3dnlVc] I cast my final vote for.....Ghost Story. ;)

Wow, what an intense round!! [table=width: 500] [tr] [td]Ghost Story[/td] [td]11[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]Midnight[/td] [td]10[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]Fly On[/td] [td]4[/td] [/tr] [/table] Thank you @beastwars!! Ghost Story is eliminated. :P The final match: [video=youtube_share;BQeMxWjpr-Y] vs [video=youtube_share;ZX2KJKRViPA] I cast my final vote for Fly On. ;)

Double post!!

Midnight Fly On Ghost Story We have now reached the top 3!! I think I'll cast my vote for Ghost Story. One of the most overrated Coldplay songs imo. :P

[table=width: 500] [tr] [td]Oceans[/td] [td]10[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]Atlas[/td] [td]5[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]Midnight[/td] [td]2[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]Ghost Story[/td] [td]1[/td] [/tr] [/table] Oceans is eliminated. Midnight Fly On Atlas Ghost Story Let's eliminate Atlas this round so we can get to the real drama!! :P

Elvis Buddy Holly The Beach Boys Bob Dylan Chuck Berry :P

[table=width: 500] [tr] [td]Always in My Head[/td] [td]9[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]Oceans[/td] [td]8[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]Midnight[/td] [td]2[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]Atlas[/td] [td]1[/td] [/tr] [/table] Unfortunately, Always in My Head is eliminated. Midnight Oceans Fly On Atlas Ghost Story I gave a listen to Oceans again and it is truly a great song, so I think this time I'll vote for Atlas. What was this, the 302nd time Coldplay had used that same formula? :P

That's good to know!! :) Guess it won't be any less confusing if the song Fun on AHFOD turns out to be a different song than the one CP gave to Natalie Imbruglia! Btw, apparently there's an unreleased song from the X&Y era called "Turn Your World Around". Any chance that it might be the same as The World Turned Upside Down as played live in 2003?

The strange thing is that I have never heard the song that opens with the lyric "can you hear that sound?" being referred to as "The World Turns Upside Down" until very recently. I've always heard it referred to as "Your World's Turned Upside Down", which is a lyric that actually appears in the song. Where do these titles even come from anyway? Are they just fan titles or were they introduced on stage/appeared on a setlist as such, or what? It's all very confusing.

This actually worries me... What if there are no acoustic songs on this album?? :( Every CP album has had at least one stripped-back song, just Chris on piano or guitar (and maybe a few other instruments).

This is none other than the legendary Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds!! I expect you to have a comprehensive knowledge of The Beatles' music by this time next week!! Got it? ;)

Eh I nearly gave up on Coldplay music videos after watching that terrible ASFOS video, and the True Love one made me stay away from all music videos by any artist since. But I might give this one a try.

Btw anyone mind making a list of every unreleased song so I can make sure I haven't missed any? :)

Looks like I've got a referee!! :P But thanks @cp3176, I do make mistakes every now and then so it's good that someone would be able to catch them! :)

Btw what elimination would you guys want to do after this: unreleased songs or live albums?
