As good a time as any to ask: what should I start with to get acquainted with Muse? I have not heard a single track by the band (that I know of) and there's been enough talk about 'em that I feel I may be missing something. ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/sollipsist/?chartstyle=kaonashi">

Some prog elements indeed. I never thought about Muse a progressive band. However I like them very much. Their latest cd 'Absolution' rocks. -------------  |

I've liked the odd bits of Muse that I've heard - are there many mp3 samples on the web (apart from the crappy 30 second long Amazon.com ones, that is)? ------------- 'Like so many of you I've got my doubts about how much to contribute to the already rich among us...' Robert Wyatt, Gloria Gloom |

Muse are the nearest thing you're gonna get to prog bruising the singles chart and getting onto the cover of the NME (they got them fooled). Similar in approach (not always sound) to Queen having a Grandiose sound and occasionally horizonta ------------- Ridicule is the burden of genius. |

Whether they are Prog or not (I think they are, and Rick Wakeman agrees with me) their performance at Glastonbury last year was astounding. Actually the best gig I've ever seen on TV. ------------- "Progressive Rock is the ultimate form of music" (Mikael Akerfeldt, 2003) |
