Muse are the best thing to come out of this country for years, a real quality, original act and can write a guitar riff as heavy as Jeff Capes.

Roni Size, meh.

Agreed. Muse are great. :D

 

[MK Shrimper]

Muse all the way - Roni Size just not my cup of tea.

 

[DTS]

Come on lads - Who the **** are muse.

Roni Size & Reprazent changed an entire genre with the release of there album New Forms. The song Brown Paper Bag http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b4n0iUtWEwY became a classic.

They won the Mercury Prize in 1997 and brought Drum and Base to a nation. They won the award despite having any sort of investment behind them or there label.

My personal favourite track is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AIusL8p6qZI Dirty Beats

He is also English and I know a lot of you lads like that.

Er, so are Muse!
Your point is, Caller?

 

[MK Shrimper]

Brought Drum & Bass to the nation..... he should be locked up in the Tower of London for that then.

Amen to that! ;)

Saw muse in 1997 in Exeter in a battle of the bands. They were amazing. As for Roni Size, who the hell is that?!

I'd debate that Roni Size can be classed as a band....

Christ! Excellent! - take it they won!

Roni Size explored a wholly new musical landscape with New Forms - a visceral, exciting, raw and almost transcendent evolution of acid house, jazz and dance. It was a truly groundbreaking album, one that deserves to be replayed and revisited for decades.

Muse are just Radiohead-lite, aren't they?

:confused:

What new ground have they ever broken? They're OK - but they've not earned a place in the pantheon of musical geniuses that Roni Size and Reprazent inhabit.

Roni all the way.

:)

Slight overstatement comparing a broken drum machine to Beethoven and Mozart there Matthew.

Shows how little you know about Reprazent. They don't need drum machines - I've seen a video of a studio session of Brown Paper Bag in which the drum line is laid down by a guy on a kit. "Visceral" doesn't do it justice... it's phenomenal, gripping, amazing, even uplifting.

:angel:

Was it a 1920s Sopwith Camel kit made by Airfix? :p
