Burning_October Posted October 13, 2007 Share Posted October 13, 2007 I know someone who im trying to get into Muse, and I need some help deciding on 2 or 3 songs to play them. This person likes mainstream bands, mainly. Stuff like The Fray, Mcr, RHCP. So, I dont think im going to play them anything from OoS. Right now im thinking maybe Stockholme Syndrome, Starlight, and Hysteria. I havent heard all of Muse's songs, though, so i'd like to hear from you guys.

Living Atheist Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 Time is Running Out, Plug in Baby, and Starlight. Then maybe they can start liking music that's, you know, good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ApocalypsePleasure2 Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 Stockholm Syndrome and Hysteria are definitely the way to go. No to Starlight though, it just doesnt cut it. I'd say one OoS song would be sufficient. If you're feeling a bit ambitious, try New Born. Its a long song, and a unique one at that, so its not for mainstream people at first hear. However, it is Muse's masterpiece and I have full confidence that the song would grow on the person. If you think that New Born may be a bit to weird, try good ole Plug in Baby, for the win. It got like half of this board into Muse and for good reason. That ace riff and catchy chorus will get you anytime. If there is space for a fourth song, throw in Bliss. The synth is more than enough to drool over, what more the intro riff. The lyrics are by far, one of the best ever by Muse. If there is one song that accurately displays everything about Muse that is loveable, its Bliss. On a side note, it's my fav song too. Good luck!

SS n Hysteria are very rock ch00ns. if they are already into rock music then fine, but ya kno if there more into there pop music, get them in with starlight, time is running out, supermassive blackhole. and if they like them move onto some heavier ch00ns.

Good point. SMBH would be an apt choice. TiRo too. As stated, Starlight still doesnt cut it. Because no other Muse song sounds as poppy and catchy as Starlight, the person would be in love with only one song. Since Starlight is such an easy song to get bored of, the person may just forget Muse altogether. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moriah Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 Time is Running Out definitely... I think New Born also. The guitar riff is just beyond cool. Maybe Hysteria? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Cherry Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 Starlight and Time is Running Out are the two that non Muse types seem to be able to get their heads round the best. When I've been at the old Muse evangelising these are the ones that generally elicit the response of 'I like that one, didn't know it was by Muse though'.

Fernando Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 Hysteria Time Is Running Out Butterflies and Hurricanes Knights of Cydonia if it's the music video. I didn't even like it that much until I saw the video, which makes it a thousand times better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benhs1898 Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 HAHAHA, this person sounds like a lost hope... somebody i know saw muse live with mcr, and thought that muse didn't do "that great" so i took a power drill and dug a nice erogation hole from his brain to his ears.

Caitycat Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 a friend decided that I needed to be educated musically and got my OoS for my birthday.. It was...like nothing i'd ever heard before nd I really didn't like it (a bit heavy for me at the time) I liked Feeling Good, then Micro Cuts and so in playing that I grew to LOVE all the songs!! sooo.. I recommend Muse's take on Feeling Good as an OoS cherry popper! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jetsika Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 uhmmm i think in New Born. its a great song.. starlight is great too, but i like one song more strong in sound for be a first.. like Bliss, Apocalypse Please, New Born or maybe Plug in Baby.. just to say someone's http://www.myspace.com/jazzismymusic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paper tiger Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 honestly while at work i used to hear starlight all the time on the satellite station and fell in love with that song...it made me want to listen more...now i find that song okay, no where near as great as so many other songs of theirs.....but it definitely opened the doors...

altrocker1807 Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 TIRO, Stockholm Syndrome, Feeling Good, New Born, Plug In Baby Starlight would also work, but careful on using that one. So far it's the easiest song to attract people, but it's been attracting quite a few who'll end up being disappointed (and really, this song isn't one of Muse's best). Or use Starlight and TIRO first, and once they're hooked reel them in with the others mentioned. =P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hardtoexplain8j7 Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 i think that plug in baby, butterflies & hurricanes and stockholm syndrome. i think theyre the best crowd pleasers, while still being great example of muse songs and showing all the different aspects of muse. i don't think starlight or SMBH are good ideas, because they can be misleading if you're not already a fan. thats just my thoughts tho, but ive gotten 4 people into them this way haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey, MCR is great. Anyway, it seems that the top songs are TiRO, Hysteria, and Plug In Baby. So, im gonna use those songs. Thanks for the advice!

The Holy Trinity of OoS should do the job. I know it did it for me. Anyway, try with Plug In Baby first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
