They're probably one of THE strongest bands ever I mean they've been releasing music for a VERY long time and they're still at it but not only that but they're still very much their own sounds because usually when a band goes for that long they tend to get lost with their sound and they tend to experiment and it sounds nothing like them but Muse have ALWAYS remained consistent with their sound and you can ALWAYS tell that it's them no matter which song plays.

Matt Bellamy what amazing person so much talent ....Matthew Bellamy was born in Cambridge and grew up for much of his life in Devon. While attending school there, he decided to turn to music and, after going through a number of band lineups, finally came to the one that is today known as Muse. Matt's fellow band members are Chris Wolstenholme (Bass) and Dominic Howard (Drums). He is a very talented musician who plays guitar and piano, writes nearly all the songs, is behind the string arrangements on their albums and has a good vocal range. He comes from a musical background as well. His father, George Bellamy, was a member of the instrumental band, The Tornados, who had a big-selling hit single in 1962 with "Telstar", which topped the charts both in America and the UK.
