I'm a little late to the discussion here.. I can only speak for myself when I say that my interest in college radio (i.e. real music  began to tapper off around the beginning of the decade. But, in my case I think it had to do with getting married and my interests changing. It just so happened to coincide with the decline, in my case (or maybe it wasn't a coincidence). What Shep said, really applies to me. I mean.. there are no bands that excite me like the one's I was into when I was 18 (1994)... Pavement, Sebadoh, GBV, et al. Very few artists/bands are so glaringly good that they catch my attention anymore. And, most that do are a complete throwback to the a bygone era. |

What has the '00s ever done except kill Warren Zevon?
Only one hope; let MUSE become as big as The Beatles!

Only one hope; let MUSE become as big as The Beatles! I was going to say Muse, but I figured everyone would have just been like WHo are THEyeey!? They've got the staying power, they give me the chills, they will be the ones I'll be rocking out to when I get so old I can't feed myself anymore.... But I mostly agree. Most of the bands now don't really get me excited. Every time I'm about to mention one, I realise that they were mostly from the 90s. Maybe we're all just stuck in the 90s? Nah. I think it's just that a lot of music isn't exciting. |

People seriously don't know of Muse? <raises hand> I suppose Radiohead counts as a 90's band. I assume they're going to be considered classic when all's said and done. |

I disagree. My opinion is that all opinions stink. And add me to the list of those who have never heard of Muse. |

People seriously don't know of Muse? I'm another who has no idea who they are. I'm definitely still stuck in the 90s. Actually, I'm probably floating around in the 80s half the time. |

Wow.
I thought a lot more people knew of Muse. I personally don't know any of their songs, but I've heard of them.

After listening to some samples on iTunes, I'm intrigued by Muse.
They are most definitely a Radiohead rip-off (Thom Yorke should get royalties from these guys). But there's also some U2 in there. With some Cure/Depeche Mode synth-rock mixed in for good measure (at least on their most recent album).
If you're going to be derivative, those are the rip-offs I might be able to get behind, especially if the whole is greater than the sum of the parts.
They don't strike me as "legendary" or even "potentially legendary", though.

Muse is very much inspired by Radiohead, but with each off their albums they become more and more... um, unique. Hell, I still love their first album, a damned good clone.
I believe I told my firend that Muse is like Radiohead, if you replaced everything that is slightly annoying about Radiohead with the awesome power of rock!
Just look up "Muse" on Youtube, all of their singles have wonderful videos. Look for:
Plug in Baby
Knights of Cydonia
Time is Running Out
Supermassive Black Hole
Hysteria
Thoughts of a Dying Atheist (one of my favorities, I don't know if they have a vid for it though)

aye muse are good but I'd be shocked if they have any real lasting impact. They've been huge over here in Britain for a while now. Interesting that nobody has picked up on the other major influence along with Radiohead - Queen. It's big glammy stadium pomp with the theatrical touch of Freddie Mercury's lot. Worth checking out all their albums I'd say.
Oh and to be pedantic their debut came out in '99 so they are not of this decade (to be pedantic).
