I have chosen Trouble and Talk.

 

Trouble has long been the track that really made me fall in love with Coldplay - the haunting piano and fragile lyrics really get to me.

 

Talk is so clever - the sample used from Kraftwerk's Computer Love is translated from a 80s keyboard sound to an electric guitar riff!

Oh god there is 3 that I like, Fix You most definitely, as its my all time favourite Coldplay track I just love the lyrics on it and the melody, the other track is between Talk and In Your Place, I'm between a rock and a hard place here. I guess I have to pick Talk, as I like how its put together.
I went for Clocks and Fix you. Looking back I think I kinda think I made the wrong choice. :lol: I went for Fix You, as I think we need a song from the X&Y era, and Clocks, just because it's such a beautiful track.
Fix You and Politk, because they make me gasm.

Reading the Absolute Radio page too, I really think we need to put some thought into what order the songs should all go into...

 

But I guess that's going to come after both playlists have been decided?

Clocks and In My Place. I thought more people will vote In My Place tbh :o

I guess I was too late for nominations :P Didn't think or want them tp all be singles tbh..

 

Anyway..

 

In My Place - I wasn't really that much of a fan of Parachutes but I really started getting into them when this song came out! The track that should have been their first number one in my opinion.

 

Talk - Two reasons, firstly this is my most played Coldplay track of all time and secondly just like Jester said the clever use of the sample to make a great song! Plus the video is funny too!

Yes, we will discuss (hopefully) the order once we have our list of songs.....

Voted Clocks and Shiver simply cause I like them more than the rest. Although Don't Panic also deserved to make it through

Not my two favourites by I voted for Clocks & Fix You.

 

Clocks because it is a song they use to open their set and they won their Grammy for this track; and Fix You which they used to close their set lists on their last album tour, plus it will (should) be the only track to represent their 3rd album X&Y so each album is represented.

Fix You and Shiver

 

Shiver is one of their eldest songs and one the bests. It sounds like their beggining, and for me it clearly represents the old Coldplay. Fix You is just wonderful ^_^

Fix You and In My Place...They are my two favourite Coldplay songs. Excellent lyrics, melody and all round fantastic songs listen to.
