me too!

Good idea - they're heaps better than a lot of the sad neo prog acts endlessly recycling their favourite bits of the 70s classics. Apparently even Rick wakenan has pronounced them a prog band - you wouldn't argue with the caped crusader, would you? 

This is the reason Why I made that rediculous poll.

I don't really have an opinion on the group... but you should make a submission to M@X if you want the band included... there's a thumb-tacked thread in the collaborator's subforum about how to make a submission. That would probably be a little more effective in seeing them being entered... and honestly, those who would oppose wouldn't be agitated by threads like this. Not that they're bad, but they just tend to rile people up. 

I don't think they should be included.  While they do share many similarties to Radiohead, they are more closely tied to Alternative Rock that prog.  But I do like  them.

PB,

I'm not keen on the argument which say X band should be here because Y band are. Each band should be judged on their own merits.

I'm not very familiar with Muse. Can you make a case for them based on their music alone, assessed against the description of art rock in the "Prog rock?" section? I think that might be more persuasive than comparing them to Radiohead.

I voted Yes, even though this has come up before - quite recently - and I don't really think Muse are prog... but they could be, and they're certainly one of the most bombastic bands around today.

I don't think they have nearly as many progressive elements as Radiohead, though - they have produced no equivalent of "Kid A", for example.
