Muse

I am going to say right now that Muse is my favorite band. If you don't know what Muse is, YouTube search it. If you don't like Muse...I can't be your friend. Just kidding, but Muse is pretty freaking awesome.

I've been listening to Muse since the summer of 2009, when my friend showed me "United States of Eurasia" and the first thing I thought was "They sound like Queen." And I like Queen. So I listened to their songs. And I fell in love. I fell in love with Muse. I have at least 30 of their songs on my iPod, and spend quite a bit of time listening to their music. As I write this, I am listening to their song "Hoodoo".

If I was asked to describe Muse, I would say that they are a mix between alternative rock, progressive rock, alternative metal, and classical. AND IT IS AWESOME.

Lead singer, guitarist and pianist, (among other instruments such as keytar, organ and synthesizer) Matt Bellamy has the voice of a god, using both vibrato and falsetto in many of their songs. He is also very attractive. Scratch that, he is damn sexy. So damn sexy that I do not feel worthy to have him as my Forum Family lover, and even less to add him as my husband.

Chris Wolstenholme, (bassist and backing vocalist) and Dom Howard (drummer) are perfect. In my opinion, they are the greatest on this Earth. This is what made me think of Queen when I first heard them. When Matt and Chris do the harmonies, with Dom just being an awesome drummer, you have the greatest band on the face of the Earth.

Several of my life's dreams are Muse-related. Being able to play "Butterflies and Hurricanes" on the piano is one of them, along with seeing them perform live and losing my virginity to Muse playing in the background. It is that awesome.

Just YouTube search "muse". You will not regret it.

You're welcome.
