Muse

Inlander:
I don't think I've ever heard Muse, certainly not knowingly, however even if I had I probably wouldn't remember that the song I was hearing was from a band called Muse because that is the most boring name for a band ever. Spectacularly, almost heroically boring.

McTaggart:
My main beef with Muse is that the chick who does the request show on weeknights on Triple J just won't shut the hell up about them. Every bloody day she has the same inane conversation with some boring caller about Muse and/or Muse fan forums. This is not good radio!

Also their music is boring and their lyrics seem like just cool sounding words thrown together without any thought as to whether it makes sense or not.

Tom:
Muse sounds like Radiohead by way of Journey. That is to say, who cares?

onewheelwizzard:
Muse are a band that is perfect for people who have recently discovered that there is social value in getting familiar enough with a single band to be able to (reasonably eloquently) sing their praises to members of the opposite sex.  Those who find that they succeed in this, also find that it works better as you get older and seek out better music (and older and more interesting members of the opposite sex).  Those who do not find success do not progress, and are claimed by this vicious circle unless they find new mating strategies.

People who enjoy Muse are as likely as not to go on to develop quite respectable taste in music, in my experience.  Precisely as likely as not, in fact.  It's a coin flip.  Liking Muse can be a very important, if early, step on a long and considerably interesting path of musical exploration, or it can become a relatively benign if cumbersome growth on the stunted and twisted tree that is the iTunes library of a 26-year-old man who still has acne, a ponytail, and multiple buttondown shirts with dragons on them.

Basically, the more you get laid, the less listening to Muse is in your future ... even though it might've gotten you laid a couple times before getting laid was really a regular thing in your life.  There's a small window when it's totally probably kind of sweet to listen to Muse on the regular (or so I've gathered) ... and it's right around junior year of high school, as long as you hang out with the theater kids who actually lose their virginity before graduation instead of the computer-lab kids who don't.

You can read the whole thing here. If you enjoy it you could probably find a used copy of Illuminations pretty easily. It is a pretty good collection of his work.
