Yeah, Muse are godawful. It's a bit disingenuous to say "everyone loves" them though. Pompous, convoluted, insincere, show-off bands of their ilk tend to be disliked by large sections of the music listening community, particularly the sections that take music seriously.

EDIT: This was meant as a joke, though reading it back I can see how it could be misconstrued as snobbish pig-headedness. Whilst I am more than capable of snobbish pig-headedness, that was not the intention here. I don't really think that people who like Muse are less likely to "take music seriously".

In my opinion Muse is the ultimate music. Musically it's very good. Matt Bellamy is a genius composer combining rock with classical influences. That sounds really great. He's also one of the best guitarists of the 00's.

Not at all. As it is, it seems that there are more people embrace Muse than there are people that actively dislike or disapprove of them.

But my least favorite band of all time (and people like this band a lot) is U2.

Rage against can probably be added to the list, but so can many more.

Finally I'm not the only one who doesn't understand the appeal of this awful band.

One of the most boring bands I've ever listened to.

And I just can't think of them without giving a long chuckle to this:

"FEELING FEELING FEELING FEELING FEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGG"

What were they thinking with that outro?

Ian Curtis' voice is just so flat, it's cringeworthy. The fact that people think they are one of the best bands ever is mind-boggling.
