I don't see them as pop-rock at all. There are very, very few particularly commercially oriented tracks on their albums. Most of it is in a format totally ineligible for airplay or anything else. I'd say of Black Holes, the only song that truly qualifies as pop in my books is Starlight. |

it's true. and that's why the only muse song in recent memory that got any airplay on adult alternative stations was starlight. Quote:

So by pop/rock you were alluding to accessibility. That's not at odds with being prog. I'd say plenty of 70s prog bands could probably be described as having had a more "poppy" sound than Muse.
Myself, I see "pop/rock" as referring to a format of rock designed for radio airplay and mass consumption. At any rate, I don't think Muse are particularly accessible. They're not at all the taste of your average listener. I guarantee most people couldn't stomach Bellamy's ridiculous vocals and the pointless, bombastic scaling riffs. It's much closer to the notion of 'acquired taste'. |
