Coldplay pre 2000 were great. Post 2000 not so much.

U2 post 2000 beyond terrible.

I literally cant work out these esoteric nomination links aside from 2 or 3.

Is the first one about Fossie 32

1st I thought was for Spuddy?
Beyond that..
The friendship one I think I get...
Yeah. Pretty stumped tbh.
Don't know SC characters well enough yet I guess.

 

[Fossie 32]

Playlist in th OP hasn’t been updated

 

[Fossie 32]

One by Filth Wizard

Second song is interesting

 

[JHF1870]

Lol that's like only including their first album Parachutes.... Their second album which I think is one of their best, came out around 2003 I'm pretty sure.

Sorry. I liked rush of blood to the head. So after that they went down hill

Reckon the FIGJAM one is Fossie 32 -
Fossie
Is
Grand,
Just
Ask
Me.
And he's been getting a little lippy as a result of some stronger than expected finishes of late.

No idea what mine is.

Son of Purple was awfully close to getting a The Offspring nom

omgfridge and The Filth Wizard are both obvious. Nothing really screaming out after that. All esoteric nomination links. The Billy song might be Manfred or Spuddy.

Literally cannot make out what mine could be unless it's along the lines of JHF being dangerous but that's a stretch. I think it's a shame because it should be something we can guess and not something abstract.

 

[JHF1870]

How You Remind Me is a certified banger, undeniable.

Everything that came after... Less so.

Let's be honest, it's a very simplistic song. The bar is quite low.

You seem to care quite highly about this, one might say your song is quite apt

Well I guess we’re voting on the songs not who they relate to so the suspense will make it even more fun when they are revealed

My birthday is January so I'm checkng if that shows up in my proifile

 

[JHF1870]

Boted. back half was really solid.

****....two songs really pulling the heart strings for me right now.

"If I told you how much I think about her
You'd think I was in love"

Let's be honest, it's a very simplistic song. The bar is quite low.

a) doesn't matter how complex it is if it's fun

b) didn't you Billy Magdalena Bay?

Coldplay's debut album Parachutes was great but it was released in 2000 so they weren't that great before then.

It was released in July 2000 shortly after I left the UK to go on a 3 month European van tour and when I returned they were huge.

I liked their first two albums but the rest have been garbage imo.

I ran out of time and in a rush. Apologies.

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Viva La Vida (or Death and All His Friends) had its moments in addition to their first two (I didn't rate most of X & Y), but they went completely soulless after they released Paradise.

those were the best songs in that period but far from their best. Paradise perplexes me. Its not a great song.
