How this masterpiece was beaten by McFly is a mystery...

When this breaks down into that monster of a riff is probably one of the greatest moments in the history of rock music, and that same part of of a Muse gig when every single person starts jumping up and down like a nutter is my favourite part (personally experienced on 12 separate occasions). A true monster of a tune. Muse should be worshipped for writing this alone, nevermind the dozens of other incredible songs they've produced. Band of the century, bar none.

I also agree with SteveThePster, to a point - there is no way this is better than Bohemian Rhadpsody, Queen were innovators, Muse have them for inspiration. Muse are the most creative band around just now and have produced the first 'guitar-hero' of the 2000s.

I agree with SteveThePster, Muse are by far the best in the last decade. this was my track of the year in 2006. Muscle Museum is my fav and just missed out on my vote having been edged out by White Rose Movement's "Alsation"! Check it out!
