Everyone knows that, to the casual listener, "of all time" actually means "farthest back I can remember from personal experience," which is usually going to be fewer than ten years. Or it's going to be something crappy that they really liked when they were 12 or 13 or something, and that carries the most nostalgia, so that's what they picked even though they might like something way better now.
Coldplay is one of those bands that I hear on the radio and usually like the singles a lot, but then the rest of the record is kind of faceless and runs together. What's the one with The Scientist? That song is awesome. My ex bought the CD and I couldn't stand it beyond that song. She also bought the one with Yellow on it (Parachutes, I think), and it was the same way.
