Nah, they're Radiohead for the people that got lost with Kid A.

Riot Bimbo posted:can somebody itt justify the Radiohead comparisons that have dogged Muse forever? Radiohead were the biggest band in the UK in the mid to late 90s, playing radio friendly arena rock. In 2000 they released Kid A, which was an experimental electronic album with no singles or music videos. It was a massive critical success but didn't have the general audience pop of their older stuff, intentionally (it was Thom Yorke rejecting rock stardom). Coldplay and Muse came in at almost exactly this point to fill the niche of post-Radiohead straight up radio and music video rock bands. They weren't ripping off Radiohead, Muse had their classical influence that stood out, but they were clearly massively influenced by Radiohead, virtually every English white guy band was. Muse and Coldplay both functioned as a "what if Kid A never happened" offramp for the people that liked the massively popular 90s rock version of Radiohead.
