Zombelious Posted November 18, 2007 Share Posted November 18, 2007 Well that really depends on what kind of music they like. I used things like Unintended and and Starlight to get my mom interested in them. Then I slowly started introducing her to other things, and finally turned her into a fan! I wouldn't have gone through all the trouble (trust me, it took a long time for her to finally start liking them) if they weren't going to be less than an hour away from us at Lollapalooza. Thank God, too, it was the best show ever! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ask Posted November 18, 2007 Share Posted November 18, 2007 I know this problem i've been trying to convert all my friends for some time now. I think songs like Starlight and The Groove are good to start on. There a little bit more like a regular pop/rock song but also a song like Hysteria i think would be good to start with.

Forced Easily Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 Time Is Running Out, Plug In Baby, and Starlight. Then maybe they can start liking music that's, you know, good. that would work and of course Hysteria and maybe Sunburn Or try the Hidden Track from Starlight dvd, works for me :LOL: I think that wouldn't work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WaterOnMars Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 I used these to get into Muse a mainstream-fan schoolmate: Starlight, Knights of Cydonia, Invincible, Bliss, Showbiz, Time is Running Out. Invincible was the most successful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WutDaFucksy Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 hmm....need to show the different types of songs they can do....

Karina_J90 Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 Uhm.. Probably Hysteria, Plug In Baby, New Born, Citizen Erased and Knights. Not Starlight, 'cause I think that would only get people to like SOME of the new songs, and not really the old stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

higginst Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 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. HahahaHAHA! I used to like MCR. Then I got a life....and a copy of BH&R I'd say Plug In Baby is a must and Hysteria/Time Is Running Out also. They're mainstream without being stupidly mainstream. You always approach a new band through a couple of songs, often the catchy ones, and develop your obsession by getting deeper into their back catalogues/their less mainstream songs.

FastEddiesKid Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 I don't want to sound sac religious because it's my favorite song of Muse at this point, but I think Stockholme Syndrome is one of the worst songs to play for someone when trying to get them into Muse. It's very chaotic and hard to follow initially. That's a song that grows on you to the point where you can't go a single day without listening to it. Just speaking from personal experience, the song that got me into the band was City of Delusion... the acoustic guitar in the beginning is very easy to get into and the bass beat with the drums at the two minute mark is amazing. Some other good ones might be Time Is Running Out, Map of the Problematique, Hysteria, and I even think Unintended could be nice if included with two other crazier songs.

It's very chaotic and hard to follow initially. That's a song that grows on you to the point where you can't go a single day without listening to it. Chaotic and hard to follow? It's a very straightforward hard-rock song to me. Can you elabore on why do you think like that? I am curious. Anyways, lots of people tend to offer more accessible and simpler stuff from Muse to other people. I don't really get this, it's not like Muse are overly complex overall, but one shouldn't fear of recommending more obscure songs for other people. Unless the people are musically backwards.

I am curious. I'd say because as soon as the lyrics come in, the drums do as well... when you're a new listener it's not easy to make distinctions between the two sounds (or appreciate them I should say) because you're not expecting each, respectively. Not to mention the beginning of the song has a more "muffled" guitar sound to it in the very beginning, rather than the straight forward closing rift at the end... listening to the first 10 seconds and the last 10 seconds to see what I mean. I didn't even want to say this because it's my favorite song, haha... but I'm just sharing what I thought of the song. The first time I heard the band my friend was playing the CD for me on Van Wick Expressway in New York City and it actually stuck out as one of the songs I didn't really care for... my how things change.

SoulDrift Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 This is the reaction I got from a friend who found me on Myspace, where I have the video of "Space Dementia" on Autostart: “Hey... LOVIN' that video!!!! Is that Muse? Why have I never heard that? LOVE IT! Heard the supermassive song on the radio, not bad... but now I'm totally going to check them out!” I've since let her hear the entire OoS album and Absolution, and she's hooked.

Forced Easily Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 If you want to get someone into Muse you should probably go with Plug In Baby, TIRO, Hysteria, Starlight and SBH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mistysakura Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 It depends... personally I got hooked on Knights (once the song actually kicked in. At first I thought aliens were invading my computer.) It was because it was so epic and different from everything I'd heard before. For classical types I'd say Butterflies and hurricanes (this song made Muse my favourite band), for R&B-ers Supermassive Black Hole, for pop/rock types Starlight, for slightly heavier rock Plug in Baby/New Born etc. Personally I wouldn't start with the stuff with really high falsetto like Micro Cuts. That song scared me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miele Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 Bliss, definetely. My best friend was instantly hooked, for some reason it reminded him of Pink Floyd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
