I'm not like, a huge Coldplay fan or anything, but honestly I'm a lot less mad about an all Coldplay top 3 than I'd expect myself to be. Would've liked Got Put a Smile on Your Face in the top 2 over The Scientist, but I'm still fine with the outcome.

Even if I had Scientist at 1, I have 0 complaints with Clocks winning. Both songs are great and belonged here at the top.
Thanks for hosting Gates, and I’ll be back for 2002, whenever that takes place.

10. Smoothie Song - Nickel CreekBet you didn't think I would rank this one in my top 20? Never thought I would say it, but this is some Fierce "banjo" music. I really reminded me of the intro to my favorite Warrant song "Uncle Tom's Cabin". Listen and you will hear it. Anyway, if nooone else is gonna say it? This is BADD ASS. 9. Taxi Ride - Tori AmosOne of her most aesthetic sounding songs. I really did enjoy this one. Great for the times. 8. A Sorta Fairytale - Tori AmosThe music video was a tough watch. Adrien Brody as a one legged freak a zoid was just wrong. The song itself was just alright. better than most on the list. I never wanna see that video again. 7. Harder to Breathe - Maroon 5Oh Look Maroon 5 when they were a real band. Cool song. I also charted this one back in the day. begs the question? WTF happened to this band? 6. White Flag - DidoI wasn't a a big fan of this when it came out. decent ,aesthetic song with real boring percussion. 5. There, There - RadioheadNo surprise that I'm not the biggest Radiohead fan, but the good news is that I might very well be the highest ranker for "High & Dry" when it rolls around. 4. Amsterdam - GusterThese guys are alright. I've been enjoying every thing I have ran into from them on these retro RDS. They kinda remind me of Rooney Boy did we kiss some Coldplay ass on this RD. 3. God Put a Smile Upon Your Face - ColdplayI won't deny how good this one is, but wrong one out first. 2. The Scientist - Coldplay I love going back to this one once in a while. Don't know why they were never able to make another epic Alternative Rock ballad like this one. 1. Clocks - ColdplayI won't lie. This song has lost some of its initial charm for me, but it is still one of my favs. So Coldplay wins this RD. can't say I'm too surprised. I did put two of their songs in my top 10, so I am as guilty as the rest. I'm pretty sure we will be seeing more Coldplay songs in Retro RDs, but backwards Coldplay is way better than forward Coldplay.singingrulebritannia Thanx for hosting. Love discovering new music. Hope Nickle Creek has some more Fierce banjo music to rank.

Kinda bummed that Come Away With Me missed top 10 by one point. Norah Jones will always be one of my favorite female vocalists because of her unique tone. It's laid-back but not to the point of effervescent (which I found sometimes with Tori Amos or Dido here). But I am happy that Smoothie Song did the unexpected as an instrumental. One day I will do a discog dive. Maroon 5's debut single is a feud with label disguised as breakup song, but I think the singing is just solid. Coldplay top 3 is quite cool. Even though I want The Scientist to win because they do have a great sense of melody when they decide to write them, Clocks isn't a bad winner at all and may grow on me with further listens. Thanks for hosting singingrulebritannia.

Just catching up on the Top 10. Aww sad to see "Harder to Breathe" and "White Flag" miss the Top 5, but very glad that they still managed to make it to the Top 10. Wow kinda insane to see all of those Top 20 ranks for "There, There" and then two Bottom 10 ranks for it. Sorry about that on my end but that was just how I felt about the song, lol. OMG I did not expect Coldplay to have the Top 3 songs for this rankdown. ![:dead:](http://ruadventures.com/forum/Smileys/animated/smiley_resurrect_grave.gif) Wow that's impressive and iconic! Dangg, I'm sad that "The Scientist" wasn't able to take the win and to only lose out on the win by just 5 points. Gah that hurts a bit. But at least I got a perfect rank for it, which I can't complain about. "Clocks" is a great song and deserving winner - my #19, so I preferred some other songs over this but I get why this won it. At least my year-end chart closeness isn't too bad - 4th with a 26.72 score... not bad. LOL As always my rankdown closeness is a hot mess: last with 33.08 score. ![:dead:](http://ruadventures.com/forum/Smileys/animated/smiley_resurrect_grave.gif) Content with 2 perfect ranks. Great job running this game as always, singingrulebritannia!
