  So this thread will be a place to discuss entries for the rounds. I have a rough idea for the categories (having seen them all) but obviously, I'm open to your suggestions too! Particularly with the album tracks as I'm not sure if people have any particularly favourites they'd like to send.We have quite a lot to choose from as you can see and a lot of recognisable big hits so I reckon we can defy the haters and smash this, let's go~ |

Round 1 is Free Choice so anything goes really, but I reckon we should start with a classic. I feel Viva la Vida. The Scientist and Fix You are the big ones that could do the best here just based on their performance in various polls, so I may save them for later rounds.
Any suggestions welcome, but I was thinking Yellow just because it's the twenty year anniversary so would feel fitting! |

‘Yellow’ sounds like a strong start

I would include Paradise in the big hits for the end, Hymn for The Weekend and Princess of China would also do well considering who features on them.
Yellow would be good, or maybe Clocks? Or some left-field choices could be Charlie Brown or Magic? I reckon they could get through round 1. |

There's no eliminations so no need to worry about getting through! It's more about getting a mixture in, but starting with a classic feels right.
Ah yes, those are all good shouts for the big hits as well. I was mainly going by the Survivor results I did earlier this year. I'm not the biggest fan of sellout 2010s Coldplay  but I think I'll be willing to compromise at some point x |

Ah I see then yes an oldie would be good to showcase Coldplay! I prefer Clocks a bit to Yellow but both are good choices in that department.

I agree that Yellow would be a good choice right now with the attention it's getting at the moment through the 20th anniversary of Parachutes!

Yellow or Clocks to start off would be a good choice
I’d love for Everglow to get a chance to shine too it’s one of my absolute favourite songs |

Yellow sounds like a great starting track, I mean, it was for the career and all
some 2010s sellout Coldplay would definitely be fine to delve into at some point x |

Thanks very much all, Yellow seems a consensus pick so I'll go with that, it'll just be like the start of their top 10 journey *.*

We finished 4th, a great start!
 Round 2 is ALBUM CLOSERS but the closing track cannot have been a single (though I've checked and promotional/radio singles can be counted as album tracks, so I'm just going by wikipedia's definitions) Our options: Everything's Not Lost (from Parachutes) Amsterdam (from A Rush of Blood to the Head) 'Til Kingdom Come (from X&Y) Death and All His Friends (from Viva la Vida...) Up With The Birds (from Mylo Xyloto, this was just a limited 7" single so I believe it would count, if not, it's Don't Let It Break Your Heart) O/Fly On (from Ghost Stories) Amazing Day (from A Head Full of Dreams, Colour Spectrum is just an interlude I think) بنی آدم (from Everyday Life, that's made my keyboard go wonky) I need to relisten as I'm not really over-familiar with ANY  but if anyone has any favourites, then shout!

Everything's not Lost is amazing! The only one I remember to be honest...
but doesn't X&Y end with Til Kingdom Come? |

My favourite is probably Everything's Not Lost but I'm not sure whether that would translate as well to everyone else...

you're probably right, Everything's not Lost is great but mostly for fans of indie/singer-songwriter stuff
maybe Up with the Birds, that's a nice one if I remember it well This post has been edited by Bjork: 20th July 2020, 08:55 PM |
