they had a UK top 10 single in 2003, which is fine, Time Is Running Out was a good tune, so they went poppier with BH&R in 2006, and they got two top 10 singles out of it then I guess Bellamy just wanted to get a number 1 single after that b/c Muse's music just became far more commercially safe and far less interesting, so that sucked I guess he thought, oh well, it worked for Jon Anderson in the 80s, so it'll probably work for our prog band too (they have not had a UK top 40 single in 11 years)

Disco Pope posted:I think that tag as "the thinking man's rock band" plus the general, tone-deaf "uh... something about drones or surveillance, IDK?" lyrics together makes them seem very... Redditor coded, I guess? essentially, they're Tool for people who don't like metal

Ratios and Tendency posted:Radiohead were the biggest band in the UK in the mid to late 90s, playing radio friendly arena rock. caveat to this: OK Computer wasn't exactly radio friendly arena rock, it just came out in the right place at the right time that it blew up like The Bends before it + they had three UK top ten singles from the album anyway also, it's not like Kid A was a massive commercial failure, it was still a number one album in five different countries, just that they didn't have any singles and wasn't mainstream in the slightest, and like you said that was all by design
