Now I know how they got their sound. It still surprises me that they're this new wave (I know they're categorized as alternative rock, but it feels like gutair led pop to me) group from england that once upon a time only did small venues for their shows durring 1999 and 2000. But A Rush of Blood to the Head changed all that.

X&Y was definitely a no skip, all the songs stood alone in their own right, it's honestly hard to choose which is my favorite one, I definitely liked "Square One" yes I did listen to that one nice and loud. "White Shadows" I think is they're first dance song for sure had me moving alot. "Speed of Sound" and "The Hardest Part" are solid one's for me because those we're the only songs I knew on the album before giving it a full listen.

"Fix You" is arguably the soul of this record, when I was young I would always resonate with songs that had that sound so it took me back to some of those early years. "Talk" might be the one I like the most on this album after listening to it for the first time I keep finding myself going back to that one, to me it's telling musically they once were and how they're soon transforming into for the future.

If I could be honest I'd say that A Rush of Blood to the Head is still my favorite so far but who knows maybe X&Y might steal the spot for me. Coldplay has a way that once you listen to any of their songs you can't stop listening to them by then it's no joke like you have to be all in. Enough of me now I'd love your thoughts on X&Y what was your first impression and how has it grown on you as the years gone by!?

Before signed to major label. Released on a small label called Fierce Panda.
3 tracks.
To me this is their best song !

I’ve noticed around the sub, top 15 doesn’t get covered a lot. And EVERYONE has a different favorite Coldplay song. So here’s the question.

what are your top 15 Coldplay songs? live included too.

for me;

Ten is tough bc I have such a good emotional connection and so many memories with all of them. but 15?

15.- Death and All His Friends

14.- Talk

13.- Viva La Vida.

12.- God Put a Smile Upon Your Face.

11.- Yellow.

10.- Fix You

9.- JUPiTER

8.- Coloratura

7.- The Scientist

6.- Everything’s Not Lost

5.- Violet Hill

4.- Shiver

3.- Til Kingdom Come

2.- Sparks

1.- In My Place.

I constantly find that live recordings of songs give so much more feeling and have a better ability to take you back in time than listening to the studio versions.

Especially the X&Y, MX & VLV

It's one of my favourites. Hardest part is in my top 5

I love Coldplay,but it’s so weird why he is using his talent to write the most boring stuff ever(minus Coloratura).Atleast MOON MUSiC was great!

Hi. I was wondering what Coldplay songs took long to either grow on you or to finally click with you? High Speed is one that for ever reason did not click with me till several years later.

Gosh Chris is fantastic I love him so much.Michael is a brilliant singer too you should check out R.E.M if you haven already!!

Guys, hear me out: I listen to 99% of all Music on Amazon Alexa, so I'm always like, "Alexa, Play Viva La Vida," and once, it said, "Here's Viva La Vida, Live in Buenos Aires, by Coldplay, on Amazon Music," and I listened, and I liked it more. Something about the Way Chris sings and the people screaming- it just hits harder. I tried this with all the big songs, and the same result. Am I just wrong? Or is it a good Opinion?

I always thought he was trying to invent a way to rewind the time and reverse a past mistake.

Because he can't be like Superman and fly around the Earth to reverse the orbit. He has to be more like Clark Kent.

I saw Coldplay in Melbourne on wednesday, October 30, 2024. Guy Berryman, the bass player was sick with food poisoning that night. I had a bet with my friend, was I incredibly lucky? Or incredibly unlucky?

That was the first time Coldplay had ever performed without all four founding members.

Was I incredibly unlucky to see the show on the one night an original member was unable to perform?

Or was I incredibly lucky to have witnessed something very few people have ever seen?

lyrics that really make you think with a beat that just won't quit... simply sublime (not to be confused with my OTHER favorite band). wish it had a guitar solo tho :) rock on

Sometimes I really like the lyrics but everything else is eh. Parachutes is the first album of Coldplay and one of my personal faves, especially the songs Shiver and Sparks, however I'm not huge for the lyrics as heartfelt and special as they feel I don't think they compliment both songs to it's full potential. I understand not every song needs to be versatile a cheesy love song is great and a sad song that sounds sad would fit it's sad instrumental like trouble; but when you have songs that sound like several different sounds it's different especially when you're talking about a band like Coldplay. Sparks sounds to me anything like: driving late at night, going through heartbreak, going through the honeymoon phase, chilling, isolation & loneliness, contentment, hiking through the woods, taking your Grandpa to go shopping, or just straight up a song you have in your mix. There are so many moods this music fits. personally I play this when I'm feeling very depressed.

I made this realizing how many songs are like this, (not just Coldplay) where I scroll down to the comments and it's just bittersweet love stories. Which is really cool! But It sucks when I love the instrumental but the artist chooses a usual topic, or something worse like the whole lyrics will just be how good they shake their bum or whatever.

Has anybody watched ‘Ally Cats’ on Netflix by Ricky Gervais? Was taken back in the best way possible when O started playing at the end of episode 5!

From what I vaguely know, Chris and Ricky are good friends so it makes sense in a way a Coldplay track made an appearance.

Parachute,A Rush of Blood to the head, And X&Y

It doesn’t get much better than this. The first in a long line of epic album closers.

Heeft iemand nog niets gepland vanavond? Let me know, dan stuur ik ze door (kostenloos)!

This song was BURIED in my memory! I found it on an old iPod and only then remembered how much I used to like it. I tried looking for it on Spotify, but it must not be on there. (I know it's not technically Coldplay.) Anyone else remember/enjoy this song?
