I do think Muse have plainly been partly influenced by the more anthemic side of early Radiohead releases. But yeah, the bands don't really sound alike.
I take issue though which the insinuation that Muse create albums of crowd-pleasing pure rock tunes. I don't think that's really true, or rather that it's not generally true of the band. The one exception might be Black Holes & Revelations, but even then, I don't think it was quite as banal as warranting being called 'an album of crowd-pleasing pure rock tunes'.
I'd argue that Radiohead came closer to fulfilling that initiative with The Bends than Muse ever have with any of their albums.
