I`ve gotten a few of there albums they do have a few Progressive rock elements within there musical output.

A phenomenal song, used to be my favourite of all time, but a late romantic piano solo inserted into the middle of song does not prog make, not that it doesn't have some influences.
The album version is much better, anyway.

No, it's the single version with the single music video. Electric guitar instead of piano.

Yep its actually a massive 27 seconds shorter although the missing piano just seems to be a few seconds going into the instrumental break. It is slightly different but not by a lot.

Well, possibly because there aren't any POPULAR prog rock bands as such?  Certainly none with Muse-levels of popularity.  Radiohead used to be popular but have kind of levelled off in recent years.  I don't think there's anything bad with that because Muse are influenced enough by prog to be classified where they are here: prog related.  They are not prog outright, but they have something to do with it.  At least this way more people may get to know of this genre called prog rock.  Better than having 70s bands like Pink Floyd as the gateway to prog, I think, from the point of view of maintaining relevance with the younger generation.
