Coldplay - Fix You

 

Kate, the OH and I were at the Coldplay concert in Bolton and i was gutted when they came to the end of their set without playing this. :(

 

I thought we were going to be cheated out of one of the best songs on the album however they came back on stage and played it twice as the video for it was being recorded! How pleased was I???!!! :D:D:D

 

This thread is way to hard just to pick one song! :lol::lol:

Yep, would go with those two in my top twenty. but when you are my age there are just so many;

 

The other side - cara dillon

valerie - stevie winwood

celluloid heroes - gotta be a Kinks number in there

and a begging I will go - Martin Carthy (anyone else remember this?)

Lovely on the water - Steeleye Span

 

Lay down - Strawbs

 

SOMETHING IN THE AIR - thunderclap newman

Breakfast in America - Supertramp

 

grand central station - mary chapin carpenter

silent running - mike and the mechanics (push over genesis)

oh daddy - fleetwood mac

 

I will be there - paul brady - brilliant

 

all the young dudes - Mott the Hoople - wow, those were the days (no, those were the days, not Those Were The days (Mary hopkin/visconti) which was a lightweight song but she looked lovely in a laura ashley, etherial sort of way and I was in love ....)

 

feel like going home - Notting Hillbillies (feat. Mark Knopfler)

 

FOR SHAME OF DOING WRONG - Richard and linda Thompson, or even the Fairport version - FANTASTIC

 

Bird of paradise - snowy white

Hotel California - eagles (when I heard this in ~75 as a new release I was painting the loo door in my Edinburgh flat).

 

Lesson too late for the learning - Paxton (now we're going back - saw him in the 60's)

 

Sorta Fairytale - Tori Amos

I will always love you - Whitney's version

 

But all time favourite song, rather boringly, just has to be;

 

WHITER SHADE OF PALE

 

and I once met the sister of the bloke who claimed to be the session drummer on this track when it was recorded. His story was that he was offered a very very small percentage of profits, or £25 for the session...

And he took the £25 (very decent money back in 1967 - £100 a week would be considered really big earnings, I remember it well!).

But then again, she might not have been telling me the truth!
