Best song #1? The album openers, baby!

So what do you guys think? Don't Panic, Politik, or Square One?

My vote has to go to Don't Panic just because I looooove it, but it is a tough choice.

KK · 16-11-2005, 05:26 PM

I voted fot Politik. But I really love all of 'em so much and any other day I would've chosen Don't Panic or Square One. Just today I'vee been listening to AROBTTH.

I'd have to say Politik followed by Square One...Damn Rush of Blood is a mighty fine album!!

Choosing is hard. They're all so different.

"Don't Panic" is poignant, direct, and hopeful.

"Politik" flat out rocks (and driven by freakin' piano at that) and has one of my favorite climaxes in a Coldplay song.

"Square One" (and pretty much X&Y in general) makes me feel like I'm on a cloud in the strastosphere with my headphones on. It's a flawless prelude that perfectly sets up the opus that is X&Y.

But I have to pick "Don't Panic." Being consistenly reminded that "we live in a beautiful world" means a lot to me.

wonderfully put. don't panic has my official vote.

Politik. It only takes 2 seconds for the concussive force to hit; Square One takes almost a minute.

Don't Panic is still a great song, and I loved how it opened "Garden State." They are just sooo close.

*Justine* · 18-11-2005, 01:02 AM

Politik - also a great opener to a show.

Yea, Politik is the best, and I wish they opened with that first at their new shows. Its always been a great opener.
