'The Scientist' Voted 11th Greatest Video

busybeeburns · 06-02-2005, 11:35 PM

Coldplay's 'The Scientist' featured highly in UK's Channel 4 Greatest 100 Pop Videos Ever, coming a fantastic 11th place.

The video, in which Chris Martin is shown moving backwards but singing the song forwards, acts out an apparent happy calm and ends on a carefree drive, but in-between features a horrific car crash.

I have that video on dvd, forwards and reverse!

Peter Gabriel - Sledgehammer is an awesome video.

Robbie Williams - Rock DJ???????????????? That video the best ever>??!!! I greatly disagree, seeing this you know that it was a UK poll, because no one cares about him in the US.

Great news for Coldplay, this is an amazing video. However, I personally love the simplicity of In My Place and God Put A Smile Upon Your Face.

11th ? That's not bad

I love this video, it's maybe one of my favorite ones... if not my favorite

gib786 · 07-02-2005, 09:51 AM

I was happy when I saw it was at 11 but disgusted when rock DJ was higher

no one gives a damn about that **** robbie (although i've been expectin you wasnt a bad album). This has to be my fav video for coldplay but where was the dont panic vid? And clocks? thats a v good video

ColdplayMind · 07-02-2005, 03:15 PM

*Justine* · 07-02-2005, 05:48 PM

4th greatest video ever? No way. It's good, but there are much much better videos.
