What song would you most like Muse to do a cover of?

[Kodack]

You have to wonder.."Would Nirvana still be popular today if Curt hadn't died and they kept making music?"

I mean look at Pearl Jam.....I still think 10 was a great album but since they are still around and have declined in popularity (to most people anyway) people look at their later stuff and not what they first loved about the band.

It was nice hearing a PJ track at the end of "Big Fish" though.

I know, kind of off topic but it's been bugging me.

Personally you might add Bach's Fugue in Dminor to that list of cover songs. Do you guys remember an album called Bach Busters? It was wendy carlos type of electronic classical music. Good stuff.

[Kodack]

robbie williams is much better than he gets credit for. A lot of his songs are rocky and karma killer is a great song, but i cant see muse doing a cover of it

or, for that matter, of any other song. Muse may have done covers in the past (all of them brilliant, especially can't take my eyes of you, great version), but that was just before they got going
they dont need them anymore, and i think they would rather not

Audition is one of my very favorite japanese movies!

[Hayley]

They should do keane - Everybody's changing
they could make that sound so much better

its a shame really, they should do them to bump up the b-sides for us fans....it would be a sign of their apparent boldness and musical chivalry, who cares if they butcher them they certainly shouldn't, it never hurt the manics,

They shud so do Nelly the Elephant!

yeah, that would be great. But it might make me go and slit my wrists, which wouldnt be quite so great!

You're from texas...im scared and impressed..

[JimJims]

Insania!!!!!!
No, really em....Pixies, Debaser, no not really.
This is tough, em, Voodoo Child by Jimi Hendrix.
And A Day in The Life by the Beatles, that would be funny and scary.

[jimminys_gal]

Flash Gordon by Queen!!
I must agree! FLASH aaaaaaaaah Saviour of the universe! Matt singing that would be hilarious

If there are any aussies here you'll know that on muse hosting rage they picked this song on their playlist, as well as some of the others you have mentioned. And before they played flash matt sang Flash aaaaaaaaah, yay it was sooooooooooo funny!

can't take my eyes of you, great version

Ugh... every1 talks about this yet still have not heard it...
Personally I reckon some rad covers would be; REM, Elton John (though they wouldn't wanna screw it up or they'd be crucified, not that they could have have a bad song), the immigration song- led zeppelin (hehe screaming matt) or Tori Amos, I'm not really sure what songs of these ppl but theres my spot!

[Imperium]

Please tell me ur joking...

[Princess of Everything]

Anything by Spinal Tap! It would be the complete opposite of Muse now, all serious. I would love to see them rock up 'Cups and Cakes' or 'Stonehenge'! 'Big Bottom' would be even better!

Ok, but seriously, maybe something by Leonard Cohen maybe pretty rad.

I'd go for that one
or maybe something by Led Zep like "the ocean" or "black dog"
