Awesome: Coldplay
Love Them or Hate Them, enough people loved them for this page.
  • Coldplay. "Speed of Sound" is inspiring, "Clocks" is fucking amazing, and "Fix You" makes me want to cry.
  • "Amsterdam" can be used for a pick-me-up whenever shit gets real.
    • "Violet Hill" is brilliant.
    • "Sparks" is both truly depressing and beautiful.
    • "God Put a Smile on Your Face". If that doesn't get you head nodding, or your toes tapping, or something, your heart is a block of fucking concrete.
      • On the topic of "God Put A Smile Upon Your Face," the live remix mashes it up with "Talk," adds some dance elements, and pretty much pushes the whole thing Up to Eleven
    • "Fix You" is nothing compared against "The Scientist".
    • This Troper prefers "A Rush of Blood to the Head"; it's more of a quiet-awesome type of song.
      • In a way, it's the sound of self-justified madness.
    • "Strawberry Swing", anyone?
  • The frequently ignored (or maybe just no very publicized) "Twisted Logic" has one of their most absurd and yet most brilliant lyrics, backed up by instrumentals that make me shiver inside every time I hear it.
    • It could very well be the theme song for Wall E.
  • "Life in Technicolor"
    • Also don't forget "Life in Technicolor II" and its hilarious video.
    • The mix everyone really wants: "The Escapist" dissolving right into Life I/II. "This is how it should be." And should it ever.
  • Seriously? No "Warning Sign"? It's awesome and the final lines just stay in your head.
    • Seconded. Might be the best song of their career, with the awesome strings and the downright beautiful ending.
  • "White Shadows"
  • ''Lovers in Japan'' does not get nearly enough love. Probably doesn't help that is was overshadowed by Viva la Vida.
  • You may not recognize "Spanish Rain," which is okay, because it hasn't actually been released yet. This needs to change soon.
  • How has "Yellow" not found a spot on the list yet?
    • An excellent question. I've no answer for you, but the question is excellent.
    • Speaking of amazing songs that somehow aren't here yet, where's the B-side to "Speed of Sound"? That's a thing that I don't understand.
  • "Talk". A space-rock tune with a riff borrowed from one of Kraftwerk's best tunes? Totally awesome.
  • Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends is probably the most magical thing Coldplay created.
    • Agreed. Prospekt's March just adds to the awesome. LeftRightLeftRightLeft, the free live album from the Coldplay website, [1], also makes this troper very happy. In some of the songs, the audience's clapping becomes a part of the song.
  • "Christmas Lights," the band's 2010 Christmas single, is utterly beautiful, and the music video features, among other things, Elvis impersonators playing violins, a self-playing piano, fireworks, and fish puppets. Hell, this song is the musical equivalent of An Ass Kicking Christmas. Bravo, Coldplay.
  • 'Cemeteries of London' is one of my favourite songs. Ever. There are a couple of other songs from Viva la Vida that I really love, especially 'Violet Hill', but I don't get why everyone ignores that one. And I think that most of X&Y sounds like slight variations on the same song, it is a damn good one.
  • 'In My Place'. Especially the intro. It even gets away with ripping off Ride, because that beat is just so fat.
  • More awesomeness that needs mentioning: "Shiver", "Spies", "Politik", "Glass of Water" and "Rainy Day".
  • "Charlie Brown". Quite possibly the most Epic Riff in a discography full of them.
    • It's already being used in British advertising and the album isn't even out yet.
  • And it wouldn't do to overlook their B sides either. Examples include "Sleeping Sun," "Animals," and "I Ran Away."
  • "Paradise", to the point that it's already becoming an Audience Participation Song. And the album it's on isn't even out yet!
  • "Easy to Please", from their second ever public release (an EP by the name Brothers & Sisters) may well be the most beautiful song they've ever done.
  • Don't Let It break Your Heart is one of the most whimsical beautiful songs ever.
  • "Us Against the World". Just. All the feelings.
  • Princess Of China. Natter and Flame me all you want, that song is EPIC. Once you get past the pop (over)production and R Ihanna, it's frickin awesome.
  • Fight For Your Right. One of the most heartfelt tributes this editor's ever heard.
