Muse put out more songs I like the 00s than Radiohead. There I said it.

You're probably not alone, but :X

Also, it's pretty ridiculous to compare the two, when Radiohead spent the better part of the decade seeing how far they could get up their own asses, while Muse spent the decade getting more and more over the top in their sound. Their singers have similar voices - they have nothing else in common.

Muse took what Radiohead was doing way back when they were a rock band, kept it going and even evolved into their own sound (often times by lifting other influences).

Everybody's copping somebody. Muse rocked the aughts.

This is pretty much where I'm at. I liked them ok early on (even went to a couple shows), but I can't listen to them anymore.
 
:hot: It's not the Radiohead thing. I agree that Muse has developed its sound beyond that, and comparisons aren't as valid as they used to be. I just think they suck.

To each his own.

Ditto, except I didn't attend any shows. I don't want to insult music as a whole but I enjoyed them despite the heavy Radiohead influence. Not a fan of the last album.

My teenage daughter loves Muse but wouldn't get Radiohead if I nailed the headphones in her ears. If Muse acts as a gateway band for her to listen to more varied stuff, they're all right in my book.

As much as I love Fugazi and Ian MacKaye, I feel like the later Fugazi stuff was too experimental for me. (not sure if experimental is what I am looking for. Maybe arty)

Its funny that the reason I am straight edge is putting out stuff I dont get.

Still love the band though

It would be a damn tragedy if they wasted one of the rock's greatest all-time rhythm sections to make the same hardcore record over and over again. Fugazi were never a 3-chord, punk-by-numbers band. As early as their first record they relied as much on whole-note rests and extended "quiet" passages to achieve their aesthetic goals as lesser bands relied on barre-chords and volume. Their attack can be so lean and disciplined, their songs so compact, that anything inessential to the song's gestalt is often abandoned: hooks, choruses, a catchy lead--nothing is immune. It is a difficult but rewarding way to make music, and difficult but rewarding music to listen to.

Fugazi's discipline and inventiveness is why, unlike the thousands of other bands to emerge from the SXE/hardcore ghetto of the 80's, we think of Fugazi as rock band. Not genre-wallowing incidental throw-down music for the FSU set.

Fugazi spent their entire career exhorting their audience to not simply consume music, but participate in it, and therefore the culture at large. You couldn't by a Fugazi t-shirt, so you made your own. They wouldn't give interviews to mainstream music mags, so if you had a question for Ian Mackaye, you had to ask him yourself at their next gig, which was easy to do, because there he is outside, taking tickets or loading his own equipment. And since he bothered to answer all of your nosey questions, you might just want to write it down and publish it somewhere, perhaps your own zine . . .

I can't think of another band of the last 20 years who had a greater aesthetic and cultural impact. While there certainly were many more popular bands, I doubt many fans of U2 and Coldplay were inspired to play the drums, to start their own band, to book shows in their local YMCA, to write about the show they saw last night, to actively create the culture they live in, rather than just passively consume it.

you're up
 
Wow. Didn't expect all this Muse hate! I didn't like Their most recent that much, but "Hysteria" just flat out rocks, even if it is one of their more radio friendly songs.

Foul:Overstatement of Purpose. I've deliberately stayed away from making any value judgments on the bands, even given them respect despite my dislike for the music, just that the songs were not interesting to me.
 
should be able to make a nice run of picks here.
