In addition to Adele, my Truly-Honest Hottest 100 top 10 pick would have included Paradise by Coldplay.
I just love when the bass synth comes in and the synth choirs start and I’m just like AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.
I love strumming along to it on guitar as well.

I might buy this album, or put it on my Christmas list. I detest Princess of China, but every other song I’ve heard from it is actually really good.
This one is quintessential Coldplay. It makes you want to get on a plane and fly away.
I no longer have any hipster cred.
But still, I swear Chris Martin, in 2002, actually foretold how I would feel 9 years into the future, wrote a song about it, packaged it up then sent it into my life right about now.
This short film made to promote an American fast food chain that uses sustainably-farmed food features Willie Nelson covering Coldplay’s ‘The Scientist’.
It’s a beautiful piece of animation and the song fits it perfectly. If you jump on iTunes you can download the full version of the song, definitely worth it. Just amazing. You wouldn’t think Willie could do a Coldplay song but he makes something as great as the original in its own way.
Alas, I was not, so they will have to settle for being a band I like but have never regarded as a personal favourite.

I don’t even like Coldplay that much (I own their discography but I wouldn’t put them in my top 5 or top 10, maybe in my top 30?). I’ve posted one other video of theirs I think - recorded at the Sound Relief concert a couple of years back which is still probably one of the greatest televised moments of Australian history - but their ability to get a crowd going is unbelievable. Just listen to them sing!
And I will try to fix you.

Coldplay — along with Muse and Damon Albarn — may pen the official anthem to the London 2012 Olympics.
The Daily Mirror said Coldplay has been invited to open the ceremony, and officials would like them to perform a specially-written anthem.
A source told the paper: “Chris is at the top of the list to front the official record. We’re pulling out all the stops to get Chris, ideally with the rest of Coldplay involved too.”
In other news, Taylor may have thousands of eargasms while watching the 2012 opening ceremony.
