THE reason to love Coldplay

[elevation2u]

Til Kingdom Come


Yea, I like that song

"Crest of Waves"


"I ran away"

 

[elevation2u]

I Ran Away..the beginning of the song always reminded me of the drums on Sunday Bloody Sunday...

 

[Zoots]

"Crest of Waves"

I think Coldplay makes better B-sides than A-sides!

 

[elevation2u]

agree

during Parachutes & definitely on the AROBTH tour
they played a lot of brilliant songs that never showed up anywhere
..and those songs were all better than anything on
X&Y

has anyone heard MARIANNE??


the most rock and roll (even punkish) song EVER by Coldplay


"oh, sweet marianne
you're the only one I've ever looooooooved"

Chris Martin does a great version of "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas"

He has a sweet mellow voice that is only ruined by overusing a bad falsetto.

It would make listening to Coldplay more enjoyable for me if he stopped that shit. Well, that and the guitarist learning more than two chords for a song.

..Merry Little Xmas?

Loved the first two albums, but my god, x&Y is some of the most contrived crap I´ve heard in my life. They just seem too needy on that album. Okay guys, we know you want to be the biggest band in the world and better than U2, but for chrissakes!

X&Y actually lost me money. My friend and I were out for a nighttime drive back in '04 - top down, country road, Clocks on the stereo. I said, "The next Coldplay album will be classic." "Nah," said my friend. "It'll be kind of okay." We shook on it.
Six months later the album came out. I cut my friend a check. Chris Martin owes me money.
Come to think of it, he's such a U2 fan, he's probably lurking on these boards somewhere. Chris, if you're out there, PM me. I won't reveal your username.

What about A Rush of Blood to the Head (the song)? I thought it was a brilliant song, one of AROBTTH's best but no-one ever seems to mention it.

I agree, love that song

Coldplay existed to write one song, and that song is Don't Panic. Simple and perfect.

they have many other great songs though, mostly from A Rush of Blood. Moses is pretty awesome too, I'm surprised it never ended up on an album. X&Y has some good songs but even the songs that are good musically suck lyrically (like A Message...the second verse breakdown is beautiful, but the lyrics are so cliche - "my song is love?") overall they definitely bombed with that one. about half of it is good, if that.
