How could Muse's greatest guitar riff not be unveiled at the biggest celebration of guitar music on the festival schedule?

The melodic, catchy lick at the heart of the song was voted the best of the noughties (by Total Guitar readers), and while the song is far from Muse's heaviest, it's one of their best and likely to land a positive punch with a crowd who always respond well to anthems. 

It might need a little more meat on its bones for Download, but balance and range is key (and precisely what make Muse such formidable live performers) and there has to be room for this on the bill.
