If you were to introduce muse to a friend. Which song would you show them

[Andy muse]

???

[Sparky_]

Normally when i introduce my friends to Muse i show them Feeling Good, Starlight, then move into Uprising, SMBH, then just gradually get heavier otherwise they just think Muse are wankers

[dontask]

Newborn hasnt failed me yet, and worked on me.

[Sparky_]

It was Take A Bow that hooked me when i was 9

I was sat there in the car screaming those lyrics....

[Dee3Dee]

I got a friend hooked after playing MK Ultra for her.

 

Stockholm Syndrome and Showbiz have actually worked pretty well for a few of my other friends.

[feeling.free]

Depends what kind of music your friend's into. My friend was into rnb and pop, but after being introduced to Muse with Starlight, MotP, and Resistance she now likes most of their songs.

[bard4209]

Neutron Star Collision

 

If they don't like it, they will obviously fit into the Muse fan base quite well.

[matthijs]

Invincible.

[LyraSilvertongue]

Oddly enough, my brother only really started to appreciate Muse after I played him Micro Cuts.

I don't think MC would work for most people though.

[Faren626]

Supermassive black hoooole

[Dina F.K.K.]

time is running out. as much as i know, a lot of my friends (almost all of my friends) like it whatever kind of music they like. then i would show them plug in baby n hysteria (considering the great riffs n melodies), then heavier songs like stockholm syndrome, butterflies n hurricanes. the point is i would like to show them some greatest songs by muse of all time (which apparently kinda hard rock ones), but then i would show them that muse also made some soft or love songs like starlight, map of the problematique, or undisclosed desires.

 

edit: a friend of mine who have never listened to plug in baby before, said that it was a nice melody and smile when the first time she listened to it through my earphone. it was a little bit surprise for me, since she kinda into pop/soft/cheesy songs. hehe.

[Parida]

Supermassive did it for me - Plug in Baby would be a good intro song

[museatlantis]

I would probably put Newborn on or the resistance

[Gem]

Just give them Showbiz, if they don't like it they're not worthy of being a Muse fan!

[Becca Of Cydonia]

I play them the most popular singles, then some older stuff. As feeling.free said, it depends on what type of music they like.

[Gareeh]

micro cuts.

[bruce57]

TiRO hasn't failed me yet....not sure if that's good or bad, seeing as it's not my fav

[Hat]

Something I have realised is that if non-fans enjoy Micro Cuts, they probably won't enjoy the rest.

[Susuan]

It was KoC that first got me interested, so I'd show them that. And probably MotP and Uprising.

[thegodsleepingonthejob]

KoC was what hooked me. then i listened to BHaR and fell in love. try that.

[Finn.]

The video of KoC in HAARP. Is mindblowing and never failed me at showing Muse to non-fans.

[graptis55]

Me too... or new born... although one of my friends said it was too hard-rock for him... But then i always put the falsetto of showbiz and they of course agree muse are at least interesting!!!

[New Born Lee]

New Born, clearly.

 

The typical response seems to be, "I'm not sure about the vocals but THE MUSIC IS AWWWSHUM!!!"

[Bs]

Either Citizen Erased or the videos of Blackout/Plug In Baby/Stockholm Syndrome on HAARP generally speaking...Never failed yet...

[QubiQ]

Apocalypse Please. Without intro.
