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.

Yeah but the influence from classic rock bands like Queen, The Who, Jeff Buckley and Yes are much more present. Matt Bellamy dosen't even like Radiohead that much. He's always compared to Yorke, but his vocals come off as more Freddie Mercury and Jeff Buckley than Thom Yorke to me.

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'.

They please their fans, who just happen to love good ol' classic rock and prog.

I'd argue that Radiohead came closer to fulfilling that initiative with The Bends than Muse ever have with any of their albums.

Damn, you must really hate Muse to put it like that.
