Well folks this year marks 10 years since Viva La Vida came out. Personally this is my favorite album of theirs. I was thinking every day until the release date, we could post videos, interviews, photos and thoughts that come to mind when we picture this amazing album. Starting today, let's start off with what your top five Viva songs are and why? I'll go first, Life In Technicolor ii Lovers In Japan Chinese Sleep Chant Glass Of Water Cemeteries Of London or Yes(can't decide!)

I love these short clips of the band playing these songs in The Bakery. They're a great insight into how this album was made. I always liked the big blue painted walls and the painting of the planet they had along with "The King is dead".

Glass of Water - because I love that plinkaly sound and it always makes me happy Lost! - because I love the guitar, and the harmony at the end, and, all of it! 42 - because I think it's beautiful how quiet Chris' voice gets Death and All His Friends - because it always makes me feel calmer when I'm anxious Viva la Vida - because it brings back happy concert memories!

Ahhh.. good idea keaton. I love Viva too.. The whole era for me was magical. I fell in love with them at the end of the era.. just before the MX time. And Viva was the first album I ever had.
My top favourite I think are:
Cemeteries - Love Jonny's short but amazing solo. 42 - Just such a crazy good song Viva - Well doh.. who doesn't like this song? Death & all of his friends - This song will always be one of my top favourites ever Strawberry Swing - Wonderful memories of friendship and sunshine.
Chinese sleep chant.. sneaking in as an extra favourite.. LOL..
(I find it difficult to not have ALL of them as my favourites actually!).

Happy Birthday Viva! It definitely brought a whole new group of fans to the band for sure.
If we are sticking to just Viva songs:
1 - Yes because it's so sexy and slinky, and I love the guitar 2 - Violet Hill because it's rockin' and kills in concert 3 - 42 because I love the wacky sound of it 4 - Strawberry Swing because the sound makes me happy and makes me think of Chicago 5 - Cemeteries of London because it's...what word, hmmmm...celestial (spiritual?) sounding to me

I haven't replied yet because I'm really mulling over my choices. It's difficult!
Yes--agreed, slinky, sexy, perhaps the only CP song that seems to be about sex. I can't think of another one at all
Violet Hill-so hardcore! You can bang on your dashboard as you drive and listen to this song
Cemeteries- love the voices, love the percussion

10?! It can not be 10 years! Time flew. Yes, difficult choice... Lost, Violet Hill, Cemeteries, Viva, Lovers in Japan. I'll talk about LiT ii when we get to videos It was a fantastic era, remember how people were so creative with the clothes.

I don't see cotton but dayyyam, they all look so good in the jackets. I'm a sucker for a good looking dude in a spiffy jacket.

My favorite part of the jackets is that Chris and Jonny wrapped opposite arms so when they stand next to each other it looks like one person and completes the look.
