In Defense Of...Muse

In which the Curmudgeons counter one of the laziest conventional wisdoms in all of rock 'n' roll: that Muse is a self-serious, ridiculous ripoff of Radiohead that appeals to dumb people with bad taste. No, actually they're one of the most fearless and inventive bands of the 21st century that gets a central rock tenet: ridiculousness is your friend. This band rocks without apology. We make the case...   Songs discussed during this episode include: Sudan Archives, "OMG Britt" King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard, "Ice V" And lots and lots of Muse: "Sunburn" "Unintended" "Micro Cuts" "Citizen Erased" "Time is Running Out" "Hysteria" "Stockholm Syndrome" "Supermassive Black Hole" "Map of the Problematique" "Uprising" "United States of Eurasia(+Collateral Damage)" "Madness" "Dead Inside" "Psycho" "Reapers" "The Dark Side" "Propaganda" "Will of the People" "Kill Or Be Killed"   Join our Curmudgeonly Community today! facebook.com/curmudgeonrock   Now hosted on Podbean! curmudgeonrock.podbean.com   Subscribe to our show on these platforms: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-curmudgeon-rock-report/id1551808911 https://open.spotify.com/show/4q7bHKIROH98o0vJbXLamB?si=5ffbdc04d6d44ecb https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9hbmNob3IuZm0vcy80MW
