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 -------------

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. |

Muse mainly for Absolution which is one of my favourite albums. Their latest is not up to much although its still better than most everything else I've heard in the last 12 months or so.Matt Bellamy is a fantastic talent who carries the band to some extent but that will probably stop them developing much further. It's nice though that they all grew up in the little Devon fishing port of Teignmouth together and have now made it big. Saga I don't know much about. Seem to remember them being aired on the Friday Rock show back in the eighties but never sounded that interesting to me at the time.

I'm greek but I voted Saga. Muse is very mainstream.

If Exogenesis Symphony is regarded as mainstream then I can only see that as a good thing. ------------- What? |

Most of their current album is as mainstream as anything they've done but then you get 10 minutes that is off the mainstream as they have ever been.
I think Matt Bellamy is very much a closet 'prog rocker' but he is very careful not to take Muse's audience (which is vast) too far from their comfort zone.It has been speculated that he will do a solo album in order to realise his prog ambitions. Could be very interesting! |

| I don't personally like Muse much, musicianship without content most of the time. As for Saga, I don't even like their insurance. So neither for me. |

| Oh I see, we're not allowed to joke on here; maybe that's one of the reasons prog gets a bad name. Actually, I was commenting more on Muse and didn't know anything about Saga, hence the flippant reply to that part. I'll put my horn-rimmed glasses back on and go back to the library. |

I've listened to Saga for ages (just not as much recently), and I concur Muse has some really cool songs. ------------- https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_ipg=50&_sop=1&_rdc=1&_ssn=musicosm" rel="nofollow - eBay |
