Rank Every Muse Song

[Mr Problematique]

The Globalist and Drones together?

and YOU ARE WRONG having Shrinking Universe that close to the bottom, tut tut

 

And Hyper Chondriac Music

[Destroya]

Then there's Fillip, Screenager, Spiral Static and In Your World by the bottom.

 

Some people want to watch this planet burn

[Jobby]

Fillip and In Your World are both shit (particularly IYW) but Screenager is a treasure and they will never write anything prettier than that chorus <3

The thing that gets me is that Guiding Light is ranked above Assassin, Dead Star and Hyper Chondria Music. At least the top 10 is reasonable.

[Jobby]

8. Exogenesis:Symphony, Part 2 Cross-Pollination

Yeah I'd probably rank Assassin just higher now that I think about it but alas I do have a major love for both Guiding Light and Revolt. I just think there awesome sounding albeit very cheesy. And I should rank Big Freeze and Liquid state lower. Thats the problem though I feel like it changes all the time! Oh well I tried.

[Exogenesisman]

is it tho

 

I dare anyone this side of Mozart in modern music to play that on the piano. Freaking gorgeous! But to each his/her own:logic:

Uh, I assure you that there are way better pianists out there.

Not that difficulty + complexity = quality though (I don't even think it looks that hard tbh). Personally, I think Cross-Pollination is atrocious.

Please change your name to Anti-Exogenesisman

Please change your name to Anti-Exogenesisman

 

As much as I'd be proud of such a title, having 'Exogenesis' in my name would be

It's a tough job, but someone's gotta do it.

[diamond_writer]

It's a tough job, but someone's gotta do it.

You're fired.

[Jobby]

You're fired.

 

You can't fire me if I quit

 

wait n-...no...

 

look just dont fire me pls

[Exogenesisman]

Uh, I assure you that there are way better pianists out there.

 

I'm talking about lead singers in major rock bands. No one tops Matt as a pianist in that category.

But why. Are you dead inside?

[Bohemian-Cygnus-Running-Out]

Freddie Mercury. Don't believe me? Listen to "The March Of The Black Queen," "The Fairy Feller's Master Stroke," "Seven Seas Of Rhye," "Love Of My Life," "Death On Two Legs (Dedicated To...)," "Seaside Rendezvous," "Lazing On A Sunday Afternoon," "My Melancholy Blues," "You Take My Breath Away," "You And I," "The Millionaire Waltz," "Teo Torriate (Let Us Cling Together)," "Nevermore," "Bohemian Rhapsody" [obviously], "Get Down, Make Love," "We Are The Champions," "Don't Stop Me Now," "It's A Hard Life," and the rest of Queen's discography while you're at it. Freddie is quite possibly the most underrated rock pianist of all time.

 

And if you throw rock ACTS into the mix, as in including bands and solo artists, I'll also mention Billy Joel and Elton John, the essentials.

 

All three of these dudes blow Matt out of the water even on Matt's best days. Not to say Matt isn't a better pianist than most rock singers, but even if he were as good as Freddie, Billy, and Elton, he's not yet proved it.

 

EDIT: I think I'd even argue Matt's a better guitarist and a better singer than he is a pianist (not that that matters, but it's just a related opinion). He certainly seems to care more about singing and playing guitar than playing piano.

As a 24 year old muse fan allow me to be more specific, Matthew James Bellamy is the best pianist in a rock band that's currently still relevant and not a solo artist. I'd agree Freddie might be better and I would also agree that Eltons better but one of those blokes is dead and has been for a while and the other dude while still great is a solo artist. Never mind Billie Joel. So while its all a matter of opinion I stand by my original statement. And FYI I'm a Freddie and Elton fan too.
