Coldplay: Chris Martin And His Xylo Toes - Part 2 - Page 40

Popmartijn · 04-26-2012, 05:15 PM

In no particular order mine will be something like:
Yes
Everything's Not Gone
Yellow
The Scientist
Violet Hill
Talk
Viva La Vida
Don't Panic
Amsterdam
Clocks

I don't have Mylo Xyloto (yet) so can't choose any from that one. Well, apart from the singles, but they didn't grab me as belonging in that list.

corianderstem · 04-26-2012, 05:16 PM

Mylo Xyloto took a while to grow on me. Neither of the first two singles grabbed me when I heard them.

I was just grooving out at my desk to Princess of China.

cobl04 · 04-26-2012, 06:22 PM

Awesome cori! They did the balloons and confetti last tour too. Flaming Lips ftw

Strawberry Swing
Don't Panic
Lost!
Death and All His Friends (severely underrated)
Sparks
Trouble
Spies
Yellow
Fix You
The Scientist

No order, save for 1 and 2.

I don't know why, but I've probably only listened to Rush of Blood a handful of times. I should fix that.

prbiker15 · 04-26-2012, 06:36 PM

I should add my Top 10 as well:

Shiver
The Scientist
Clocks
Fix You
Yellow
Viva La Vida
Warning Sign
In My Place
Lovers In Japan / Reign Of Love
Charlie Brown

I couldn't resist adding 10, so whatever is below are songs 11-15 on my list.

Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall
Life In Technicolor
Don't Let It Break Your Heart
Daylight
Politik

This is bloody hard:

1. Lost!
2. Amsterdam
3. Strawberry Swing
4. Princess of China
5. Paradise
6. Yellow
7. Shiver
8. In My Place
9. Warning Sign
10. Talk

This was impossible. I've about 6 or 7 apologies.

Moonlit_Angel · 04-27-2012, 04:48 AM

Cori, I'm glad you had such a great time at the show

! The confetti stuff does look like fun, I'm glad they're throwing all that sort of thing in. And woo for the crowd being so into it as well.

I agree with your Viva thing, too, by the way, I really, truly wish I could've seen them on that tour. Eh, well.

Yes. Yes, you should.

Top 10, eh? Ergh, this'll be a bit tough...hmmmmm. Let's see here:

1. The Scientist
2. Fix You
3. Yes
4. In My Place
5. God Put A Smile Upon Your Face
6. Trouble
7. Clocks
8. Viva La Vida (I can't ever tire of this one. It never fails to get me going)
9. Violet Hill
10. Charlie Brown (I know I said "Paradise" is my favorite, and it is, but I'm really into this song right now. It's either this or "Up In Flames")

The first few songs, at least through 4 or 5 for sure, are set in stone, but the rest can change positions (and 10 could change from song to song) anytime depending on what I'm really in the mood for at the moment. Viva La Vida is my favorite album, too, and as a result it's REALLY hard to narrow down favorites from there.

Me too. They really are a great band.

Here's my review.

Live Review: Coldplay heats up the Key Arena

Please note, they changed my title. I think mine was much better - Coldplay Lights Up Key Arena.

They lit it up with the light show ... they didn't have fire breathers, for cripe's sake.

LemonMelon · 04-27-2012, 04:04 PM

They also spelled your name wrong

corianderstem · 04-27-2012, 04:11 PM

Yeah, they did that with my Radiohead review as well. I asked them to correct it.

High-falutin' operation they're running here.

BigMacPhisto · 04-27-2012, 04:30 PM

Ten best songs (not ranked):

Clocks
Don't Panic
Life in Technicolor II
Speed of Sound
Trouble
Viva La Vida
Yellow

+ any 3 songs from their best album, Mylo Xyloto. They still have yet to make a great album, but there's a handful of excellent ones on their most recent effort and very few weaklings.

Moonlit_Angel · 04-27-2012, 10:12 PM

Nice review, Cori, balanced and to the point

.

I liked the "blizzard of confetti" line in particular for some reason.

Lila64 · 05-01-2012, 08:05 AM

Tonight!

Coldplay . . .

. . . in L.A. . . .

. . . in the rain.

I guess I'd better leave for the show NOW.

trojanchick99 · 05-01-2012, 02:36 PM

Don't forget the May Day rallies Downtown too. Might already be too late.

FitzChivalry · 05-01-2012, 03:06 PM

I probably should chalk it up to unforeseeable circumstances, eat the cost of my ticket and just not even try to go.

But who is going to bring the gummy bears?

PS. I brought my Rage Against the Machine t-shirt today so I could blend in with the protesters. I figure that will help get me through DTLA.

They are talking about locking down campus if it gets out of control, but so far so good.

Moonlit_Angel · 05-01-2012, 06:17 PM

Ergh, hope you can work it out and manage to get through all that mess, Fitz and trojanchick.

Lila, have a good time!
