i dont see why ppl compare radiohead and muse so tightly. i prefer radiohead tho muse are incredible and i mean truely incredible. muse started off as radiohead clones with showbiz but took their own unique direction, they have their similarities but are ultimately completely different bands. yet everyone seems to lump them together.

Even they are much closer to prog music than radiohead i don't agree to add them because they represent the todays music and the todays music sucks. All these new bands recycle the old ones. I know that you will call me closeminded but i dont care this is only my opinion i may be wrong!

and for that matter Starcastle - the biggest Yes clones ever

They are too mucxh on UK's MTV2... Too obscure... They don't  strike out as Radihead did, and no album of theirs makes you think about the fabled condition humaine, like OKC and Kid A do

The Mars Volta are already in, bub.

And rightfully so, I might add.

 

I think that Muse's Space Dimentia and Micro Cuts are definitely prog rock pieces, for it's a certain combination between classical music and rock, in this case, alternative rock. But those are pretty much the only songs that really do fall into this category. Unlike Radiohead, Muse are usually more straight foward musically (and lyrically, but that's irrelevant, I suppose). Either way, they have really shifted away from this direction with the poppish 'Absolution' album, which aside for a misplaced quote by rahmaminov in the middle of a song, doesn't have any real classical influence in the composition.

Stocholm Syndrome, though, is totally a prog-metal song!

Anyway, Doves and Elbow, totally NOT prog. not by a long shot.

Personally I prefer Muse over Radiohead by quite a large margin. I wouldn't mind seeing Muse on here really, I've always thought of them on the fringes of prog rock.

NO! This is the kind of thing all of us anti-radiohead people are whining about, yes it is whining. But by trying to say that muse is justified merely because radiohead is supports almost every point all of the anti-radioheadites are making.

Muse is watered down Radiohead.  They may sound alike, but Muse certainly lacks that extra experimental edge.

If Radiohead make it then Muse must be considered. They probably aren't as groundbreaking but definately have prog movements in their music.

A band who aren't afraid to experiment and push themselves forward have more right to be here than many who are happy to rehash old ideas over and over.

Have a read of this and be enlightened

There's a whole pile of derivative, uninspired neo prog bands who are included on the grounds that their albums feature twiddly synth solos and sub Tolkien lyrics. That may have been progressive in 1973 but we've all moved on since then (in theory anyway). There's a lot of contemporary acts who are closer to the original spirit of prog than any neo prog act and I'd include Muse among them. If 'prog' means consantly rehashing Foxtrot and Close To The Edge then the genre really will have no future.

Have you listened to the doves? I'd struggle to find one prog element in their music! Apart from, it's music.
