As good a time as any to ask: what should I start with to get acquainted with Muse? I have not heard a single track by the band (that I know of) and there's been enough talk about 'em that I feel I may be missing something.

Some prog elements indeed. I never thought about Muse a progressive band. However I like them very much. Their latest cd 'Absolution' rocks.

I personally wouldn't consider them a prog band, and I have 2 of their albums.

I've liked the odd bits of Muse that I've heard - are there many mp3 samples on the web (apart from the crappy 30 second long Amazon.com ones, that is)?

Thanks - I'll be enjoying that for the next couple of days. If this isn't prog, it's the next best thing!

Whether they are Prog or not (I think they are, and Rick Wakeman agrees with me) their performance at Glastonbury last year was astounding. Actually the best gig I've ever seen on TV.
