October 2, 20231 yr Viva la Vida killing it with the average *.* it does seem to be the song we can all (well most of us x) appreciate whatever our views on them and this makes up for it's comparitively early exit in the Survivor (it lost a tiebreak with Fix You!). The Scientist has finished 2nd in all three of these Coldplay polls! Hopefully gets its time to shine one of these days, classic song <33 Thanks for running this Roba, always nice to have these!
October 2, 20231 yr Thanks for running and hosting this well Rob, lots of interesting facts shared throughout. Viva La Vida is a worthy winner, and not a surprising one. Edited October 2, 20231 yr by gooddelta
October 2, 20231 yr 'The Scientist' is achingly beautiful throughout. Definitely my favourite of the triptych of slow ballads from first 3 albums ('Trouble' and 'Fix You' being the other two. 'Viva la Vida' is a very worthy winner. Light and heavy at the same time, excellent tune throughout verse and chorus and intriguing lyrics, some said about Tony Blair's fall from grace. Thanks so much for this rate Roba. Great commentary and got me listening to a lot of Coldplay and discovering new gems 'Arabesque' and 'Everlast' especially. However, for me, the best Coldplay track ever wasn't a single. Final track of 'A Rush of Blood to the Head' is like a 12/10. Just stunning, especially the climax. kr4DNZz_8zI
October 2, 20231 yr Happy that my favourite did as well as 2nd! One of quite a few songs to peak at #10 that feels way bigger than that. Thanks for doing this Roba! I've been revisiting their music too, I actually listened to the results from back to front as background music at work this morning ^_^
