TS: Coldplay, Yellow: Y/N

*THAT* would make it all yellow, for sure!

most horrible track by horrible band

i had catatonia's 'mulder and scully' stuck in my head, earlier, in the shower, or at least the thirty or so seconds i could remember. i think i just spent the remaining three minutes thinking: huh. catatonia. they were a band, that happened. people bought their records.

I watched Shooting Fish the other month and every song on the soundtrack brought up that feeling of remembering that John Major ever existed and was Prime Minister

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

there are two coldplay songs i will secretly listen to but this is not one of them.

The first two singles from that big breakout disk were good, but I won't suffer if I never hear either of them, ever again.

i fuck heavy w/ yellow

Bored me then, bores me now

Clocks and Moses I like a lot. Yellow is right on the dividing line between good Coldplay and bad Coldplay, so I voted 'Yes.'. There's way fouler pools of dog vomit in their catalogue--Speed of Sound, Viva La Vida, In My Place, the first two-thirds of Fix You...

I remember watching a ton of MTV2 late at night back when I was a freshman in college, which was around when the video for Yellow came out, and it was one of my 2 am jams. So I've always liked it for that. I really like Parachutes, still.

I don't like any Coldplay tracks but the appeal of this one in particular mystifies me.

Nearly completely OTM, except I like "Viva La Vida" despite myself.

there is one coldplay song i like - well, one coldplay song + the "clocks" piano riff. it is not this one. yellow is such a gross colour anyway

(it is "god put a smile on your face")

no in the universal sense, yes compared to most of what was being played on U.S. alt-rock radio at the time (e.g. Fuel)

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

Thank fuck for that. I may have quit ilx forever if the 'yes' votes had won.

I was curious about the video, so I just watched parts of it. A minute of his mug cemented my antipathy.

• two of the three are "yellow"
• all three are more interesting lyricists than chris martin.
