The band that will change rock music forever

MUSE

Check them out. They`re pretty big in Europe, but most americans havent even heard about them. Pretty "big" music, so stay away if you`re into lo-fi garage rock or The Strokes stuff. They have been dubbed the "next Queen", and rightly so..

Here are some tunes from their own webpage.

New Born - Slow piano intro followed by a massive rock riff that leads the song into a cool punk-ish rock-bomb.

Apocalypse Please - Massive piano based song, perfect for those oppressive moods. Reminds me of HL2 actually.

Let me know if you want more recomendations.

I doubt they'll "change rock music forever", but they are certainly a brilliant band.

You should look up Dead Star, Fury and Plug In Baby. They're great songs.

Muse are heavily influenced by Radiohead. So much so that an uninformed listener would mistake them for Radiohead. This means that Radiohead would be the band to change rock music forever.

The first album is influenced by Radiohead, but the rest of the stuff is clearly miles away from the stuff Radiohead have.

I gotta say those 2 songs blow ass, the guitar is distorted to hell, the only actual music in the songs is the piano.

Yeah, because we all know the only instrument that plays proper music is the piano. Everything else just sounds like meaningless white noise.

Oooh boy, I'm in a sarcastic mood today.
