    I've pretty much adored it from day one. Back in my track-by-track review of Ghost Stories in the thread, I have it a 5/5. :lol: I tend to dislike most EDM, but I thought the EDM elements were used very effectively for the song. They gave it such an uplifting mood that it couldn't otherwise have had. It's Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall on steroids. :lol:

    I love Politik, Every Teardrop is a Waterfall is another good song but other than that, I don't really like Coldplay :shrug:

    Tier I.

    • Politik
    • Violet Hill
    • Midnight

    Tier II.

    • Trouble
    • God Put A Smile Upon Your Face
    • Yes
    • Strawberry Swing
    • Charlie Brown
    • Ink

    Tier III.

    • Don't Panic
    • In My Place
    • Lovers In Japan
    • Rainy Day
    • Prospekt's March
    • Us Against The World
    • Major Minus
    • Magic

    Tier IV.

    • Bigger Stronger
    • See You Soon
    • Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall

    Tier I. is the best tier, Tier IV. is the worst tier. Songs in tiers are ranked by the year of release and position on their albums, not in order. It was hard to narrow it down to 20. Honorable mentions would be "Square One", "'Til Kingom Come", "U.F.O." and "O".

    EDIT: Threw away "Bigger Stronger" from Tier IV., added "Prospekt's March" to Tier III.

    Absolute favorite would be "Midnight", though.

    Oh I didn't know, my bad. I just didn't think it'd be the type of music you'd like. While I do enjoy A Sky Full Of Stars, it's not among some of my top favorites. Not a bad song at all, I just think there is a lot better in their discography.
