I agree with Olly, we're sane Muse fans, not the OCD types you'd find on the official boards. Or those nutters on the Radiohead forums...

Lets face it...who am I to criticise anyone for being obsessive about a band...

Another one from muselive here Hey guys! huge Muse fan, don't really listen to a lot of them these days, and Porcupine tree are awesome. So are PRR of course ;-)

Loved the AA analogy (though for PRRA, one day clean is probably the best I've ever been able to tell my sponsor!) at the beginning of the thread, so here goes:
Hi, I'm Alex. I'm 19 and have been into to PRR for about a year, after I was reccommended them by The Dark Fourth (with whom I went to school aaaages ago). Obviously I am highly hurt by his comment at the start of this thread (about having no friends interested in the same sort of music)! I hope this appeases him. Anyway, I am currently on a gap year earning money to go travelling (USA and Russia) before starting a history degree at Oxford later this year. Thought I'd join the forum for two reasons. Firstly, though I have been pretty successful at spawning converts for the PRR cause (as the debate seems to rage in many threads, I will take this opportunity to say that Goshen's Remains is probably the most successful song), I seem to alienate many more by rabbitting on about them. Here seems to be a better place to go on. And on. Secondly, after 5 gigs (possibly an unimpressive total in this company) I felt I deserved my very own cheesy pun-name.
Oh, and for the record IMO Muse make some lovely haunting music along with some pretty rocking headbangers BUT are just not that durable. They don't have the same quality of a band like PRR, who you can just play over and over again without destroying your enjoyment.

Haha, I have got 3000 Muse plays on my last.fm... But I can easily see why you say that, ever since I've started listening to this genre of music I've found myself exploring it more, and listening to it deeper, which isn't possible in some bands. I'm quite jealous you've got to see them five times, hopefully I can see them at the start of May

Here seems to be a better place to go on. And on. Too right, I've learnt that now. A guy I've been seeing didn't get played any PRR at all (though granted did have to listen to me going on about going to all these gigs recently.) Then casually he announces one evening 'PRR are actually pretty good I'm on their myspace, I might get their albums...' So maybe the subtle approach works better than "LISTEN TO THIS, LISTEN TO THIS AND IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT YOU'RE WRONG" that I've been using in the past!

I hope that works, I've just bought a ticket to see PRR at Cambridge, and I need to convert some friends. Might try the subtle approach now...

Hmmm... A friend of mine is a Cambridge PRR Convert. You might see him there. Actually, you won't - the thought of him (lovely chap that he is) at a gig makes me snigger. He does Natural Sciences there (apologies to the chemists of the forum, but we all know about Nat Sci......). Anyway, I'll try and get him to go as I'm really pleased about this particular convert as his prior musical pinnacle had been Basshunter and Cascada! They SO could be big if they actually received any friggin' airplay. I know very people who have disliked them after I've got them to listen to TDT.

Yeah, well I've had that about most bands I like for ages (Hope Of The States, Frank Turner [yay, he's big now!], Million Dead & The Cooper Temple Clause) being the prime examples. People often tend to like them less because of my overenthusiastic gabbling. Most of the time I talk but with music I gabble.

I enthuse about bands I love no end.
I'm extremely guilty of this in regards to REVERE.

Right, that's it...censoring should now officially be off, I honestly thought I'd done that a long time ago. Though that was fairly amusing...
