25 Greatest Muse Songs Of All Time

17. Invincible

http://youtu.be/AcS6zbCghZ4 A lone echo-laden note on a bed of organs opens this song, letting a crack of light in through the window as a new day begins. What follows is a wonderful section of wailing guitar and muted marching-band drums not unlike Pink Floyd in their latter-day pomp. The way Muse layer this song, track five on 'Black Holes And Revelations', is masterful, and Bellamy, a renowned riffsmith, plays with a restrained majesty until the song collapses in on itself and his box of fretboard tricks spills open into your ears. A song that starts with a whisper ending with an impassioned plea to turn things around, as instruments are pounded to within an inch of their life. Muse had stadiums in their eyes when writing this song, but it works brilliantly.

16. Supremacy

http://youtu.be/avM_UsVo0IA To any fans of 'The 2nd Law' - this is as good as it gets on this list. What will long be remembered as Muse's lost chance at a Bond theme is quite a belter however, announcing the album with a brilliance that it couldn't sustain, particularly being followed by 'Madness'. 'Supremacy' moves at quite a slow assured pace, reminiscent of Led Zeppelin's 'Kashmir' but ten times as catchy. The moment where Matt loses his marbles and squeals "your suuuuuupremacyyyyy" is enough to give goosebumps not felt since 'Origin Of Symmetry' - his voice can still reach the heights when he wants it to. The song's closing section picks up the pace with the whole band grabbing its chance to shine. Even that trumpet gets another look in. Matt Bellamy clearly took heed of the similarly-named Matt Berry when he made his "bring on the trumpets" plea. http://youtu.be/zXU9Ur9QznE
