    So apparently I seeded the 60s right in that there is not likely to be a single 1st round upset. Can't say the same about the late 70s.

    How in the fuck can you have a list that includes bands up to the present and not include Muse?

    HR, YK

    Best rock band in the world right now. Probably the best post Cobain.
    Radiohead is slightly ahead for me, but Bellamy is a true showman. Hell of a band.
    When I lived in Oklahoma I was surrounded by hipsters who sucked Thom Yorke's cockus nonstop so I'm probably biased against them but I'll take Muse, Oasis, Blur, Travis and even (NTTAWWT) Coldplay over Radiohead in the post Kurt, british invasion division. But I recognize they're influential as hell and worthy of their iconic status. I just don't think I'll ever be able to stomach them.

    Agreed on Bellamy as a showman. Wolstenholme is a pretty badass bass player too. Their range is what really impresses me, they hit a lot of genres, and all of them very well.

    When the same band can do that, and Hysteria, and Uprising, and Supermassive Blackhole, they're pretty badass. Modern rock Queen. I know, I'm gushing like a fucking fanboy. But I think they're highly underrated.

    Dude. They're my favorite band but that song isn't even top-50 for them. Everything off of Origin of Symmetry and Absolution is better than the stuff they made for their female American following.

    It's not my favorite song of theirs, though probably top 5. Just saying it's the sexiest song in decades, not that it's the best.

    Absolution is their best album, but The Resistance is damn good.

    I didn’t really know a lot about Muse my first show. But I’m not sure that I’ve ever had my face melted like when they played Hysteria. I hardly knew the song but it didn’t matter. Highlight of both shows for me. Knights of Sedonia? was another great one. I had NEVER heard that one before the first show and loved it. I’m more drawn to their older shit I think.

    ^^^ And to add Supermassive Blackhole was the hair standing on end moment. They play loud and the whole crowd was groovin right outta the gate when they busted into it, and as loud as it was you could hear the crowd screaming too. If ever there were some proper anarchists, Muse would be them.
