Muse

Errr, generally because they are uneducated, ignorant or don't really listen to alot of indie bands... they are really more mainstream alternative rock nowadays, I don't really think they were ever "indie" in the true sense of the word / concept anyways.

It doesn't mean they're bad for that reason, I quite love their work, yet i realise calling them "indie" is a bit of a farce...

Muse is definitely one of my top favorites!!!

Now that I think about it...I agree that Muse should definitely not be in the Indie section. I wouldnt consider them as Indie at all.

Can someone tell me what's the big thing about muse? Sure, Resistance is good but the other songs are nothing special.

Because their first 2 albums Absolution and Origin of Symmetry and despite a poor release with The Resistance, they're a respected band because they've been churning out solid albums for years.

Alright, never really listened to the first two, only the Resistance, witch I didn't like.

Dude, everyone agrees The Resistance is their worst album. Although I only have that, Black Holes and Revalations, and Hullaballoo Soundtrack (which isn't really an album... it's two disks, the first being B-sides, the second being a live disk), The Resistance is definatley... my personal least liked out of the three. It's also alot poppier than their other stuff.

Also, TCS got it messed up. Origin of Symmetry and Absolution were their second and third albums, Showbiz was the first.

Slip of the tongue, I remove Showbiz from my memory because it's a poor release. They've had 2 brilliant albums, 1 good album and 2 poor releases. Origin and Absolution are by far their best work.

Although I really enjoy The Resistance, I have to agree that their previous work does sound quite different... so if you didn't like it, you shlould still check out some earlier albums, because they are strong and very good, consistently good!
