Just FYI, Big Paul Ferguson quite likes Muse.

They certainly feature in my 'what the f**k' top five of bands that are
inexplicably popular.

1)  Travis.  Bland indie music that mums would like but wouldnt buy and
young adults should hate but do buy.  Not even interesting enough to be
depressing.

2)  Muse.  They sound like music that's been written by maths teachers but
with even less soul.  Kind of like Queen without the personality crossed
with Feeder.

3)  Libertines.  Tuneless rubbish.  A singer that has no personality or
talent.  Music thats been done a hundred times before but better.

4)  Lost Prophets.  A welsh band that tries desperately hard to sound like
an american one.  Sort of like Incubus but even more sickening (and without
Incubus' fairly decent guitarist).  Their videos are truly cringeworthy
(with left-hand drive cars,  school reunion banners and american
footballers).

5)  Funeral For a Friend.  As generic a band as you could possibly find.
Strictly 'Emo' by numbers.  Down to the guitar playing, image and song
titles.  Commercialising yet another genre.  Wankers.

I'm betting they've got a fare few fans here.  Can someone explain the
appeal of them?

I've got a soft spot for their crack-addled lead singer (he used to write a
QPR fanzine back in the day!) but the music seems just soooo utterly without
merit.

There is no balls to it, it sounds like it's being played by 15 year olds
and he sings much like a drunk fergal sharkey.  yet they are proclaimed as
the saviours of rock and <?color><?param 1999,1999,FFFF>roll.<?/color>
