25 FAVORITE COLDPLAY SONGS- ULTIMATE COLDPLAYING BRACKET NOMINATIONS!!!

winigwl · 22-06-2008, 12:45 AM

Ok, so i mentioned this, and i'm just gunna start it now and leave this thread open the entire summer so more people vote. We are going to set up the ultimate coldplaying bracket to determine our favorite coldplay song. It'll be kinda like the march madness college basketball tournament except we vote on it! But, in order to determine the 64 songs and the seedings we must vote first!
Please state your 25 favorite coldplay songs to help nominate.
Rules:
1. Collaborations are ok, as long as the entire band was in on it (aka no HOmecoming, All things come to and end etc...)
2. Covers are fine
3. Different versions of songs do not count (No Lost? or Don't Panic Blue room edition etc...)
4. Remixes do not count
5. They don't have to be in order
6. thats about it for now

you have all summer to do this so take you're time

Aleluvscp · 22-06-2008, 12:54 AM

in order?

winigwl · 22-06-2008, 12:54 AM

no thats important. i'll put that in the rules
no order necessary

mountainloafers · 22-06-2008, 12:56 AM

^ rule #3? Why allow collaborations and not diff versions of songs? Seems to me that we should honor songs that are other versions because they are indeed Coldplay songs. Collaborations are sometimes not?

Are you willing to make an exception to rule #3?

winigwl · 22-06-2008, 01:03 AM

no its just gunna get too confusing if we have different versions. If you hate lost! and love lost? you just have to make a decision on whethere or not you like it enough to put it in your top 25. It'll just be too confusing, especially when we put in ep and alternate versions

ApproximatelyInfinite · 22-06-2008, 01:04 AM

i'll be the first, then, but i might edit it later

1. see you soon
2. shiver
3. the scientist
4. strawberry swing
5. clocks
6. viva la vida
7. warning sign
8. swallowed in the sea
9. amsterdam
10. i ran away
11. sleeping sun
12. lovers in japan (if alternate versions counted, i would say acoustic!)
13. in my place
14. a message
15. don't panic
16. yellow
17. spies
18. the world turned upside down
19. speed of sound
20. careful where you stand
21. moses
22. lost!
23. ladder to the sun!!
24. daylight
25. square one

i feel like i'm missing some biggies...

Death Hill · 22-06-2008, 01:06 AM

I don't even know my #1 song for sure, this'll be hard.

winigwl · 22-06-2008, 01:06 AM

also if we do alternate versions songs like scientist and trouble and clocks will get votes for both the original and the acoustic and then other songs that really deserve to be counted like daylight as one random example won't get to see the light of day

mountainloafers · 22-06-2008, 01:06 AM

hmmm then it wouldnt really be my accurate list... b-sides count?

edit: nevermind I see approximate has already included them....

winigwl · 22-06-2008, 01:09 AM

anything counts as long as the whole band is in on it.
bsides, covers, songs that have only been performed live. its all good. as long as its one version.

Hotplay007 · 22-06-2008, 01:15 AM

UGH! so in other words, this is just favorite songs 1-25 of Coldplay?

winigwl · 22-06-2008, 01:16 AM

yup. but this is the boring part. the bracket'll be more fun

mountainloafers · 22-06-2008, 01:29 AM

NOT in order by any means... May need some tweaking before the summer is out. Hopefully some VLV b-side will eclipse old standards...

1. see you soon
2. fix you (all the haters can just deal! Im a sucker for a positive message

)
3. the scientist
4. strawberry swing
5. clocks
6. viva la vida
7. warning sign
8. swallowed in the sea
9. amsterdam
10. i ran away
11. sleeping sun
12. lovers in japan (if alternate versions counted, i would say acoustic! The album version may actually be a tick better somedays then I like the accoustic. This song is great either way)
13. in my place
14. a message
15. don't panic
16. yellow
17. trouble
18. the world turned upside down
19. speed of sound
20. gravity
21. proof
22. things i dont understand
23. a rush of blood to the head
24. god put a smile upon your face
25. cemetaries of london

Listen2Coldplay · 22-06-2008, 01:30 AM

Not a bad idea. It's ultimately going to be a song from one of the first two albums though.

I'm just curious, and although they may be B-sides for a reason, what avenues would you suggest to listen to some b-sides? I wouldn't mind hearing some of their earlier work that wasn't released on any of their major albums. I have the "Speed of Sound" single that has some B-sides and also have the "Brothers and Sisters" short little album. Likely, it won't matter as far as B-sides are considered, but I'd just like to hear some more than what I've heard.

I also can't see myself putting more than three songs from the last album on the list--if any but perhaps they'll grow on me more.

Hotplay007 · 22-06-2008, 01:48 AM

ok football head. I'll try my best but #1 is the hardest.

Ok, Everyone, I love these songs mostly equally so don't think wow, that song isn't THAT bad, because no song on this list is bad. I just like some a TINY bit more than others. Just slightly.

1. A Rush of Blood to the Head
2. Violet Hill
3. Yes!
4. Death and All His Friends
5. Politik
6. Gravity
7. In My Place
8. Low
9. We Never Change
10. High Speed
11. Such a Rush
13. Lovers In Japan
14. Don't Panic
15. 42
16. Talk
17. A Whisper
18. Bigger Stronger
19. Animals
20. Viva La Vida
22. Yellow
23. Fix You
24. Amsterdam
25. How You See the World (omg best song ever.... honestly)
