Hey Adrian,

Have you ever heard Thom York sing? Yes? OK, now go listen to Muse and tell me that his vocals aren't a complete rip off of TY's style in pitch, tone and melody flow...it has been their biggest criticism since the band's first album. The verse melody and chord progression from Stockholm Syndrome could be lifted directly from a Radiohead song...the way the guitar chords flow and resolve (the sustained note to the resolved chord...a classic Radiohead trick) and the way the melody comes in and is delivered is classic Thom York. Have you heard Muse's first album? You should go and check it out and actually know what you are talking about before being defensive over your precious Radiohead.

None taken though buddy! You have a super day!

Zack

I was originally going to vote for the classic Frankie song, but after hearing that Muse song for the first time, my vote is for Muse. That song was rippin'!!!

Anything but Muse. Actually I double vote against Zack for comparing Muse to Radiohead. C'mon man that's just silly talk.

Frankie Goes to Hollywood...it's hard choice. I love both songs. But, I've always loved "Relax".

Although Im a little tired of the song, I have to vote for Muse because the other song blows.

Voting for Brandon Keith based on the fact that I get fab haircuts and color at his salon. And I appreciate that he's bringing the 80's throwback back to My Song, sans Huey Lewis.

I haven't even heard the other song yet, but I vote for whatever it is. Now that you guys have made me listen to this I know just how awful it is.
