grabacr 31770 Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 SMBH, including the album, but that's only because I replaced it on my iPod with the Alternative Live Version, avec awesome solo. Live, both are surprisingly beefy, especially the bass in Starlight with everyone clapping along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burning_October Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 Supermassive by a hair, though both of them are really brilliant pop songs. EDIT: Oh, and I may as well chime into the pop vs. rock debate. Here's the thing, the definition of pop is increidbly loose. The Beatles are pop. The Beach Boys are pop. Justin Beiber is also pop. These are all completely different artists with completely different styles and, in my opinion, a significant gap in quality. Muse DOES have pop songs. This is undeniable. The issue is, which songs are pop and which aren't? Undisclosed Desires, Starlight, Neutron Star Collision, etc, those are obviously pop. But i'd go further and suggest that the likes of Plug In Baby, Bliss, Time Is Running Out, and maybe Hysteria are also, at their base, pop songs. They rely on hooks and melody and energy, which are all generally facets of pop music. And though they all certainly do rock, i'd throw them more into the guitar-pop category then anything else. Thats not a bad thing; pop done well is fantastic, and Muse can do pop REALLY well when they want to. There's no need to seperate it into pop and rock, Muse embody elements of both (and several other genres) and have, on the whole, pulled it off.

dekza Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 I prefer Starlight on album, but SMBH is so good live...It takes the song somewhere totally different.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no need to seperate it into pop and rock, Muse embody elements of both (and several other genres) and have, on the whole, pulled it off. Most of Muse's catalogue is pop by its own standards, but that's not such a big thing. Modern Nine Inch Nails is pop. Linkin Park is pop. Even Modern Slipknot and In Flames is pop to some extent; just about every single band that lies on the label of "Alternative" can be classed as pop on some ocassion, and its really not a bad label or word to attribute to yourself. All it does is stand for "popular", basically pretty much anything accessible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoMUSE16 Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 I really can't pick one, but at this moment in time, it's SMBH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JadeLovesMuse Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 Starlight. But I love them both! Starlight was probably the first Muse song I was addicted to, it has the most plays on my iTunes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArtsyChick Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 I'm not going to vote, because I love Starlight so much that I can't vote against it. And I'd have to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeffrey0603 Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 No doubt SMBH. Its one of muse's best live songs and also one of matt's favorite song to play (next to KoC) andguitar in SMBH is sexy Starlight is the worst song live, even GL is better. Only thing i like is that i can hear matt play power chords and thats quite rare in muse songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatsername Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 I like both on different occasions. "Starlight" is a nice, sweet song while "SMBH" is fun to blast in your car with the windows rolled down! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
