What's your favourite track off A Rush of Blood to the Head, and no interruptions! :P

[Nick4Chris]

Title track at mo, could change at any time :roll: What do you mean by no interruptions Ian? Is this an interrution? If so, sorry peeps :shock: :lol:

[Ledder]

Hey Ian, nice MB!

It might be a stupid question but did you hear the older version of AROBTTH? i.e. with the piano? I loved that original version and was surprised to listen to the album and its just a guitar. Its still a great song and Im sure i'll love it the more I listen ti it, but don't u prefer the old one?

Well you're talkin to the most indecisive person ever here!But The Scientist is def me favourite song, followed by Politik,Warning Sign, but they're all brilliant *cliche alert!* :wink:

[carrie3078]

this question is always tough as all hell, but I went ahead and voted for Clocks. Something about this song has always gotten me from the very beginning. whoo!

[I caloom claum]

Why can I not vote?! :cry:

Ce n'est pas juste!

[I caloom claum]

Ohhh there we go, I can now! :D

[bianchi]

amsterdam 8)

[elizzabeth]

a rush of blood to the head is the best!! :D

[Jenz]

ALL OF THEM :D "Politik" does it in for me. The piano, the banging of the drums, the words. Chris's voice. It's so different from everything else that's been done, I adore this song so much. I cried when they played it at Berkeley. And I haven't been able to listen to it since because I tear up. Ahhhhhh I'm such a dork. :D

[Lil Peppersauce]

C'mon, man! You made me pick just one! Geezanages, that was like picking a puppy at the pet shop.

[sarah**]

it's difficult to decide, but today it's amsterdam


and i do agree with whoever said the first version of arobth was better, i don't like the newer one and the words are different! :x

[';']

for me today its warning sign and yeah i still love clocks the most

[Invisible and Proud]

I go for politik, mostly because i think more bands should sing about stuff other than girls, plus i absolutely adore the moment about 12 seconds in when they all stop and it's just the creepy piano and this echoo-y voice singing "look at earth from outer space" - album beginnings don't get much more exciting!

But then God put ASUYF is probably the most uplifting song i've heard ever! when the chorus comes in...WOAH it blows me away every time :!:

by the way, i'm not against love songs, the scientist being played constantly by moi but does anyone else feel its like a breath of fresh air when a song isn't about a girl?)

[';']

yeah because then you get to hear other stuff they want to get out and you get to hear a different side to them
instead of hearing about girls

[Nick4Chris]

I agree - that is why Clocks is my favourite from the album, well there are other reasons but they're personal :roll: Mind you from AROBTTH there are only really 2 songs that are blatantly about women/broken relationships and they are The Scientist and Warning Sign. The title track and Amsterdam do mention girls but they are not specifically about love and heartbreak, they are more about living life for the moment and doing stuff now rather than waiting coz you may never get the chance. GPASUYF and Green Eyes are kind of happy love songs but Politik, In My Place, Clocks, daylight, and A Whisper are definitley not about love and stuff :D Anyway, sorry for rambling :roll: I'm not really sure what my point is now :wink: See ya :mrgreen:

[dave's girl]

i agree about the girl thing - it's nice to see songs that are a bit more general. but then lots of parachutes could be taken to be about girls, when it could actually be about anyone, if you get what i mean :lol:

[';']

about feelings too
and what goes on with what they do and how they do things

[';']

read this

Buckland added, "It's all about being impulsive and getting stuff done now and never holding back and wait because you never know what might happen, just seizing the moment. I think that comes across in quite a lot of the songs there's the kind of urgency, but there's more to it than that. There's bits about girls and... [long pause] all those sh*t."

[Invisible and Proud]

Well, i think the reason so many people sing about love/relationships (i'll say love, not girls - very PC!) is because basically everyone can relate to it. If you hear "but the truth is, i miss you so bad", most people can think of a time they missed someone...blah blah and so its a real easy way of relating 2 people and selling records.

That's what i love about bands like Coldplay the Manics, the Beatles, they aren't just limited 2 singing about relationships -sure, they all do and they all do it well - but they can also sing about Taxmen, Politics, Why we're here + why America is so evil! (i'm not saying i agree, i'm just stating that's what they sing about!- so please don't shout american people :? )

Anyway, the point......There is a point (albeit a pretty crappy one) is that is why i love Politik so much :)

[Hicksy]

if the manics can produce some lyrics that are not in some way political i will buy a grey ferret and name it Bernard :?

[';']

i always wanted a brown and grey ferret. my neighbors had one and animal control took it from them. they didnt have some kind of permit to have one or something.

[Hicksy]

:(

[';']

:( whats that for

[Hicksy]

the fact that he got taken away - poor ferret :(

[';']

oh yeah poor ferret. that was bad because he was already use to them they had owned him for a year. its like meeting a person and knowing them for a year then you have to be removed from them.

[Hicksy]

a girl in infant's school told us all she was a member of the FBI - we were all dead impressed until we found out it was something to do with ferrets. so i then decided i didn't like them cos they made me look stupid. i think you should get a guinea pig instead. :lol:

[Hicksy]

hullo DG - not had a good chat with u for a while - how u been keeping?

im an officially Coldplay mad - i now listen to them more than Radiohead at the moment - which for me is unheard of - ive been buying up their back-catalogue and some of the old non-album tracks are unbelievably good - especially since i am very acoustically influenced atm since i am learning acoustic guitar as we speak :shock:

wub

[dave's girl]

hi - i'm fine thanks, you? acoustic guitar - i'm impressed, good luck :lol: what old stuff have you got? i got ridiculously excited the other day cos i realised i actually didn't have the shiver single (it takes me a while to click onto things sometimes) so i am just waiting til i get some money before i go and buy it! and i am sooo excited about the manchester gig! can't wait :!:

[Hicksy]

erm lets see:

Brothers and Sisters EP - AMAZING!!
Yellow Single - VERY good
Parachutes - Australian Tour Edition (same second cd as rare independant newspaper cover cd from 1999 - i think - dont quote me :roll: ) - VERY good
Trouble - Norwegian Live EP - GREAT
Dont Panic CD (Denamrk release with live tracks) - Good
In My Place Single - Good B-Sides but not as good as early ones in my humble opinion

i.e. I've gone Coldplay mad :silly:

[dave's girl]

i love "help is just around the corner". :scrambled: what's on the brothers/sisters ep?

[Nick4Chris]

i love "help is just around the corner". :scrambled: what's on the brothers/sisters ep? Brothers and Sisters, Easy to Please and Only Superstition - all great songs imo :mrgreen:

[Nick4Chris]

Hicksy - which one isn't in your top 5? Just wondering coz CP don't like Brothers + Sisters anymore apparently - Jonny doesn't like playing his guitar part...................... I heard this somewhere but I can't think where, I think it may have been when the boys were on Radio1 or XFM. I like it, but I prefer Only Superstition + Easy to please :mrgreen:

[Catherine]

twas when they were on the radio 1 special. he says his guitar bit is too fast or something, i dunno...

[Hicksy]

aye i prefer the latter two songs as well - B&S is the track not in my top 5 atm since although i think its great it has a fabricated feel to in that it was obviously their most mainstream track at the time that they were pushing to get a big record label contract - which is fair play because thats what has to be done but i think it leads to a less meaningful song which is a shame because that is their biggest strength :?

come to think of it thats probably why they r not fond of the guitar part :)

or maybe im just not that clever :oops:

[dave's girl]

i love "help is just around the corner". :scrambled: what's on the brothers/sisters ep? Brothers and Sisters, Easy to Please and Only Superstition - all great songs imo :mrgreen:
