Coldplay!

I've just got to say how much I LOVE Coldplay's new album! You know, I have a lot of "favorites" - I'm pretty eclectic when it comes to music. --- I just can't understand how a person could only listen to one kind of music! There are SO many songs and genres that would be on the Soundtrack of my Life :) - music that defines different parts of me - at different times. Most of it is upbeat and simple -- some a little darker and moody -- some heavy -- a lot of rockin'! :) But as I was driving last night (and often) listening to Coldplay I decided that I could quite possibly stick them in a favorite band spot. I'm rarely NOT in the mood to listen to their incredible music -- so well composed with incredible lyrics - complex, but simple at the same time.

I am absolutely in LOVE with their new song - "Viva La Vida". So I am going to do something that I have heretofor not done. I am going to "force" you to listen to my music of choice! :) It just needs to be shared --- I can hold back no longer! --- I won't make it autostart on you for more than a couple of days! :)

I put some of my other favorites from Coldplay -- which in and of itself was unbelieveably difficult to only choose a few -- for you to enjoy, should you so desire.

(An exciting side note to this post - Nels and I are going to a Coldplay concert in SLC in November with my big bro and SIL --- I'm so excited!!! :)

So, here's the fun and difficult part - because I think that music preferences can tell a lot about a person and I'm always interested in getting to know you all better - what is (or are) some of your favorites songs/bands? Something that defines a part of you . . . ?

I'll start - aside from Coldplay, I LOVE the Rolling Stones, Led Zepplin, the Killers, Tom Petty (particularly the Wildflowers allbum), Fidelity (and a few others) by Regina Spektor, Crystal Ball by Keane, a lot of Country (I love to sing along with Country songs), Toadies (Hell Below/Stars Above album), Just Like Heaven by The Cure, the Pixies (really like Here Comes Your Man and a couple others on that album), a few Rilo Kiley songs, a LOT of Oldies, a little Disco . . . and SO many more!!!

You can list as many or as few as you'd like, but you have to put something!!! :)
