Self compiled Coldplay 'best of' is purgatory shocker!
Put this together (with some thought) and it's just one long bland mush. What the hell was I thinking? Ever done the same and been disappointed at the result (and what was your tracklist?)

Lost!
Clocks
Shiver
God Put A Smile Upon Your Face
Kingdom Come
Trouble

Coldplay have some very good songs
haha
you left '42' off!?
whats the point in this thread
people like coldplay on here
What's the point in many of these threads?
My point was that I also like Coldplay, their albums stand up in their own right, a best of should be great, but it's actually not much fun to listen to. I appreciate my choices might be off, but I tried to stick in some variety (Lost, etc) to break up the hits.
You left off Don't Panic
Wasn't there a thread about bands who have never been better than the first track on their first album? Coldplay are the definitive answer to that.
agree so much
dude
you've added a whole host of shit and left off some of their greatest. get out and think about what you've done, you blade.
I think you're right
what a blade
haven't heard the insult blade in so long
good to know its still in circulation
Amsterdam appears to have been left out as album closer

Gotta say, if I got that in my stocking at christmas i'd be pretty fucking chuffed.
#underappreciated.
There were some cracking b-sides
around Rush Of Blood To The Head. Not listened to Coldplay in ages. May have to dig some out.
Shite, I wanted to put See You Soon in there.
tuck it between Lovers in Japan and The Scientist
there's enough for two album's worth
i have fake albums made on spotify
One I Love!
Thanks to this thread
I've dug my copy of Parachutes out and am listening to it for the first time in years.
I'd have to say
The Best of Coldplay

In My Place
Don't Panic
Chinese Sleep Chant

Violet Hill

Lovers in Japan
Yellow (obligatory)
Major Minus
Amsterdam
Viva La Vida
Coldplay have always had very strong singles and their greatest hits collection is going to be brilliant when it hits. Cheers.
I always think
a best of should just be all your singles in order, like the Pet Shop Boys' Discography. But Coldplay have got loads of weird songs that weren't quite singles, or weren't really hits. Obviously I'd be sad to leave out Amsterdam, or Life is for Living, but you've got to have rules. I'd listen to this.

Obligatory new crap song for best of 1
Obligatory new crap song for best of 2
I reckon you should have Christmas Lights as a bonus track, as apparently it got to number 13 in the charts, although I never noticed.
Such a shame Christmas Lights didn't do better in the charts.
It would've been the best Christmas No. 1 we've had in years.
