Clocks or Speed of Sound?!

tartpops · 06-07-2010, 05:58 PM

I've always thought Clocks and Speed of Sound are very similar and I was wondering which of the two you like best! My preference is probably Speed of Sound.

MichMoch · 06-07-2010, 07:33 PM

SPEED OF SOUND !

(that was the first CP song I've heard)

but I can't deny it... Clocks is an awesome song
I just have a little preference for Speed Of Sound.

Speed of Sound

Megalomania · 06-07-2010, 08:01 PM

Neither. Don't like either, although Clocks is the better song.

katja · 06-07-2010, 08:09 PM

Clocks!!!

hotdensestate · 06-07-2010, 08:11 PM

There's a difference?

aniskywalker · 06-07-2010, 08:43 PM

Speed of Sound

Macintosh · 06-07-2010, 09:01 PM

they are not similar at all.

hotdensestate · 06-07-2010, 09:08 PM

Eh, same chord progression.

Love your sig btw.

Clocks is a masterpiece. Speed of Sound is just a bad copy... And it shouldn't have been on X&Y , nor the first single!

Clocks.

When Speed of Sound was released many people complained that it sounded to much like Clocks. They are very similar.

Not at all, no. The rhythmic patterns are quite similar, but the chord progressions themselves are different.

Anyway, to the question. "Clocks" > "Speed of Sound." I find "Speed of Sound" to be quite overrated, honestly.

it's just a stereotype

they are as similar as the kangaroo and the platypus

I owe a lot to Speed of Sound. It was the song that got me into Coldplay, which in turn helped me discover plenty of other great artists.

That said, I'm going with Clocks.
