It sucks that Viva la Vida can never be claimed as Coldplay's biggest song anymore or else it would be the prime example of a track being insanely popular while simultaneously demanding such high universal praise the likes of which I've never seen before.

While I don’t think Teen Spirit is their best song, it’s VERY representative of Nirvana and just because it’s popular shouldn’t take away from how perfect a song it is

Empire State of Mind will forever be a 10/10 song for me. Everything about it is just so perfect.

thought of this when I was writing it! glad you noticed that too

I believe "Something Just Like This" is just a Chainsmokers song featuring Chris Martin. Same thing can be say for "A Sky Full of Stars", which I like but it's Avicii's rather than Coldplay's song.

I really wish beabadoobee would get more recognition for HER music because she has such a cool sound and dabbles in several genres and to think most people only heard her voice on that god awful coffee sample song is so sad

honestly if you like doing these im fine with this becoming an ongoing series, I enjoy it very much!

tyler's biggest song is probably see you again or earfquake, which makes sense. they're both very anthemic pop songs (I mean earfquake was literally made for justin bieber) that still manage to be avant garde. It's crazy that he's considered a rapper when he's most known for his pop songs such as the two mentioned, 911 and wusyaname.

Now for “Something just like this” case, it’s not really much about the band and more so about Chris Martin singing on a Chainsmokers song, so I believe it doesn’t represent them at all 💀 also, I think Coldplay’s “Viva La Vida” is imo the bigger hit and is the much better song overall. Also, Daft Punk in my eyes is kinda like Weezer, for me it’s hard to tell which of their hits is their most popular and their best, because ALL OF THEM ARE GREAT. For me it would be between “One More Time” and “Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger” But Get Lucky was a good choice. Once again, great video! ❤

Great video as always. We need part three. Keep it up.

With that Beabadoobee part at the end, it made me wonder where "Pumped Up Kicks" by Foster The People would sit. I've never heard one other song from their discography, so it'd be interesting to hear if this mega Indy hit is even near close to what their general style/vibe is.

Absolutely adoring this series. Would love to see a part 3 with some more rock/alt bands e.g. Guns N Roses, RHCP, The Doors, The Rolling Stones and more.

I think None shall pass being Aesop rock’s biggest hit (according to spotify) absolutely checks out, it’s an amazing song that represents him perfectly, both in terms of sound and lyrics.

as a big arianator i absolutely agree with your opinion about 7 rings, its not her best song and it doesn't represent Ariana as an artist the best, i think songs like into you one last time god is a woman greedy and no tears left to cry repersent her way better, because they are pop and r&b which are her usual generes she's known for, and because they represent her really well as pop singer, the problem with 7 rings is that it makes Ariana look like a rapper while she's not one. Also she usualy makes songs about love and not about money so 7 rings just seems wierd on first listen to me, now i like this song but when i listened to it for the first time it felt wierd

If she should be defined by any song, her as an artist, her talent, her sound, and her as a human, tracks like Get Well Soon, Leave me Lonely, My Hair, POV, and Imagine definitely define her sound more than 7 rings ever did. I’m terms of albums, Positions, Sweetener, and Dangerous woman define her sound the best

I don't know which song of Coldplay is considered their most famous. Maybe "A Sky Full Of Stars"? To me, "Something just like this" isn't a Coldplay song. I don't even know how much influence the band Coldplay had in the creation of the song. It sounds like a typical Chainsmokers song (of that time). I guess that somehow the band's name ended up as a feature guest although it's just Chris Martin singing. Same goes somehow for "A Sky full of Stars". It is a Avicii production with Chris Martin vocals and who knows how much input from the rest of the band but for whatever reasons, they decided to keep Avicii's name out of the releases' name.

Glass Animal's three Albums are all extremely good and fun to listen to, but for some reason, their by faaar biggest hit is "Heat Waves" (Around 85% more streams on Spotify than their second biggest track). I can definitely see its catchiness and radio playability (idk if that's still a thing). Still, I would argue that almost EVERY other Song they've ever made is more creative, original, meaningful and, at least for me, more fun to listen to. Whenever I tell somebody about Glass Animals, it's like: "Ah, Heat Waves band, right?" Super annoying.1xl

One of the most interesting bands for me on this matter is A-ha. Is “Take on Me” good? Sure Is it representative of most of a-ha? Not as much. Is it one of their best? No. And further, it was so extremely big and more popular than any of their other songs than some of their later great to exceptional work. Also, similar to how you mentioned pink floyd, think of Yes and Genesis who also had one hit way bigger than the others that aren’t representative of their best work (although, some might argue that Owner of a Lonely Heart is still one of Yes’s best)

@seanberrodin801

Жыл бұрын

His Pink Floyd analysis was rough, when looking at a band from the album era (especially THE quintessential band from that era) you can’t really judge them based on songs. The reason Another brick pt 2 is a hit is because after Syd Barrett left the band switched to long form songs that did not translate to marketable singles. An album like dark side or WYWH have single like moments but the albums were anchored by the sum of its parts. Dark Side is one of the most successful albums of all time but you don’t see it’s tracks topping any singles charts.

I kinda disagree with Get Lucky being a good representation of Daft Punk. It's an absolute banger but compared to their other big songs (One More Time, HBFS, Digital Love, etc) it has a very different sound to it, mainly because of Pharrell.

Say it ain’t so is so excellent

While Drop Dead Cynical by Amaranthe is a certified bop, perfectly in line with the rest of their discography, I hesitate to call it their best. As a hybrid metal band that covers a wide variety of genres, picking a “best song” is pretty difficult. I’d personally pick Fearless, it’s energetic chorus combined with the epic instrumentals show off what Amaranthe is at its core. It highlights the three vocalists doing some of there best work and the instrumentation is off the charts. I’d highly recommend checking it out.
