You seem to be ignoring my main point. Which is that mainstream bands have been doing that kind of thing for decades.

Muse are doing nothing different to what's been done before & writing stuff that wouldn't be appropriate for a single is hardly a radical concept. They're still a mainstream band , always have been probably always will be whether you like it or not.
As I said, I agree with you that they're a mainstream band and that doing that is no radical concept, lots of bands do, etc.

All I've been disagreeing with all along is that "pop" is an accurate description of the generality of Muse's music. They're about a quarter pop, the rest is not supposed to be poppy. This contrasts with a band that are trying to be poppy all the way, like those I mentioned and many many others.
