Best songs to play?

strike · 17-10-2005, 08:28 PM

Our band have decided we want to do a few CP songs in our sets, but we're talking no more than 3.
We play CP, Oasis, and a host of Indie to Punk covers, as well as a few of our own.

Any suggestions as to what the CP tracks should be?

oh god! what a question!

What's your style?

I'm lead vocalist, we play mainly fast tracks but we want some CP songs to 1) get the crowd singing along and 2) a bit of variety

Like I said the rest of the stuff is quite rhythmical...so it should match that hopefully

Yellow
The Scientist
Fix You

This is great strike!!! I like the music that your band will play.

I recommend you:
1) Clocks
2) Shiver
3) Square One

I believe this songs are catchy and have rythm and surely the crowd will sing and dance with all of them.

^ It will be really funny. To tell the truth I can't imagine how it could be their lifes...
Would you like to be the singer?

Shiver sounds kinda bad when not a studio recording. I'd recommend Yellow (That's a given, you HAVE to do that song, no matter what), Speed of Sound, and The Scientist (boy will your hands be sore afterwards

)

fudge · 17-10-2005, 09:09 PM

definately Yellow.

The Scientist? Too slow for you maybe?
I'd say try your own version of Speed of Sound. Might be quite cool!
And just because I love it, Bigger, Stronger. Think that would sound great and not everyone will realise it's a cover

If anyone plays the keyboards/piano Politik is my favourite to play! Love playing that one part near the end - the piano solo. And even singing "But give me love over, love over, love over this" and is great!

So I'd say Politik, Fix You, and...um...Clocks

okpathos · 19-10-2005, 12:57 AM

clocks and yellow are pretty much songs that everyone would know, coldplay fan or not, the 3rd, well any of their hits would do the trick, my personal fave is the scientist, you can make everyone sing along at the end like chris has been doing in his concerts
