Shit band, good song

Kelly Jones is, and alwsys been, really fit as well.

I walked in on him without his shirt on once and almost lost the ability to speak. Stuart was always my favourite though. And as for songs, Goldfish Bowl is the best song on Word Gets Around and I’ll fight anyone who says otherwise.

Shit band, good song - Muse, Supermassive Black Hole. I can’t stand Matt Bellamy’s voice on any other song and think he’s a whiny pretentious prick. However, SMH is a great song and I have to turn it up whenever it comes on the radio.

I’d also go for Plug in Baby. Just for the opening guitar riff alone.

It's those sharp intakes of air Matt Bellamy takes before every line he sings. Once you know it's there it's really hard to ignore.

Yeah Muse are absolutely terrible, but I quite like Sunburn off the first album. That song that goes "Aaaaaah aaaaaaah AAAAAAAH aaaaaaah asaaaaaah AAAAAAAAH" and they try and make it sound like a western etc is one of the worst songs ever made.

Knights Of Cydonia?

They might be now, but they weren’t always. 4 of the first 5 off Origin of Symmetry are worldies. Some decent stuff on Absolution and Black Holes & Revelations. It really goes downhill from there but they were good 20 years ago.

They're absolute shite.

I agree will Hallicks on this. I think there are some really strong songs with some really great riffs on the first few Muse albums - Plug in Baby, Newborn, Supermassive Black Hole, Hysteria - but they are a very marmite band. Loads of people I know cannot abide Bellamy's voice (well, his breathing), or the OTT nature of the songs, all of which is fair enough.

Would never contest anything post-black Holes and Revelations though, which I think is also when they started producing their own albums fully. Boring, pretentious, bloated shite.
