Muse
Muse are a British new-progressive rock band formed in Teignmouth, Devon in 1997, comprising Matthew Bellamy (vocals, guitar, keyboards), Chris Wolstenholme (bass guitar, keyboards, vocals) and Dominic Howard (drums, percussion). Chris Horne and Jamie Donnely and also backup guitarists. More recently, Morgan Nicholls has been featured on bass and keyboards in the Black Holes and Revelations era live performances. The band blends alternative rock, progressive rock, classical music, funk, electronica, and heavy metal, to help form the new sub-genre of new prog. Muse is known best for their energetic live performances and frontman Matthew Bellamy's eccentric interests in global conspiracy, theology and the apocalypse. Muse has released four studio albums. The most recent, Black Holes and Revelations, was also the most critically acclaimed, garnering the band a Mercury Prize nomination and coming third in the NME Albums of the Year list for 2006.
Muse, my favourite band by far. My love for them gre over time as from the day my friend played "New Born" to be on the bass I got hold of the albums "Absolution" & "Origins of Symmetry" listening to the songs I loved the powerful feeling behind the music and how expressive it was. I went to see them last November and I will say it was the best gig i've been to by far (they have won countless awards for their live performances). I now have the whole Muse music collection and I love every track they have ever made, I listen to them every day nearly all the time when I have my iPod.
