argh, good question... I know I'm missing some obvious connections.

Muse remains my favorite mainstream band of today.

Again, any band someone mentions are just gonna have little bits that are similiar. Like any good band Muse has a unique sound that's forged on that backs of a LOT of other groups.

Great site Trevorus!

I know it's your opinion but it's wrong lol. |

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Jan 2008 Location: Virginia Beach, VA | | | I find Muse and Radiohead have far more dissimilarities than similarities. They are very different groups, one is not necessarily better than the other but I admire Muse's constant display of musicality and their wonderful ability to blend.

ridiculous. | As I posted earlier, it's based on bands that people like who also like the band you search for. It's not an infallible resource, and it's not really even comparing styles so much as preferences.
