both band seems to divide people in to camps of how to defie progressive rock, both are clearly borderline bands, but both are also highly regarded by their hardcore fans of being top tier prog bands
 
both are also highly regarded as top live acts, Saga in the club area and Muse as an arena band, both are heavy guitar based, strong vocalists, bombastic, some Queen influence
 
ofthen huge sound as well, operatic
 
 
you might think this is a odd pareing but if you think deeply at the similaritys they are not so far apart

Saga for me. No matter how much my wife and son play Muse for me I just can't listen to it.

Muse are so damn awful - I don't see how they re even borderline prog.  They're a pop-rock band, only interested in making MTV music.

Bellamy's vocals are the most grating point.  He's ridiculously whiney and wailey, no strength present whatsoever.  His thing of taking very sharp, very audible breaths between lines is also really annoying - shows a complete lack of technique and makes me think he may have emphysema.

I always smile, when I see Muse listed as a prog rock act. So funny.

Saga, of course. They're cool.

If this is MTV music, I need to watch MTV more often:




Agree though that Bellamy's sharp intake of breath between lines is a rather annoying trait/stunt. 

Haven't heard Saga, so no vote.

This.

Saga on their best works still really have some prog elements. Muse? Not too much IMO.

If you watched MTV back when they showed videos you would have seen Saga on everyday it seems.

That decides it. I vote Muse.
