Do you think Muse's biggest hit is still to come?

Uprising got big, but even I know a lot of people who'd recognize the tune and yet not know who wrote it. Same with a few others like TIRO, KoC and Starlight.

So I'd say from a US point of view they're not the biggest band ever yet. As for whether they want to be or care to be is a different point.

Only if they get the same backing the received during the BH&R era.

 

With the exception of Uprising, The Resistance singles flopped in the UK and for once, they only released three instead of the 5/6 from the previous three albums.

Could do. Look at a band like coldplay for example, viva la vida was a big hit, but paradise was even bigger. (in the uk at least)

 

That was the poppiest song they've ever done, I'm not surprised by it being so popular.

I'd say they're not the biggest band ever from any point of view.

The problem is, to be the biggest hit as in making the charts and being played everywhere, would be very hard for it to be the muse we know and love. So maybe it's best if they don't go that far

I've got news for you; their songs get played here, there and everywhere quite frequently already.

Not really. Muse have made loads of "poppier" songs than the ones topping lists of "best songs ever".

I don't hear them that often actually, but that's just a matter of chance probably. they never get played at any party I go to for example, that's all dubstep :facepalm:

Yeah, they should stay underground and keep their indie cred.

That's because party music isn't the same as greatest hits.

 

You don't hear Stairway To Heaven being played that often, but it's still considered to be one of the best songs of all time.

Their biggest hit is Uprising.

 

The song that is gonna be remembered as their "greatest song" (If people will even see them as anything other than a Radiohead tribute band in 20 years) would probably be Knights of Cydonia.

 

Neither of these are good songs for a party.

Possibly because they haven't had a proper release for 3years.

 

And biggest hit is very different to best song.
