small print and thoughts of a dying atheist rock but citizen erased, time is running out and in your world are pretty spectacular. I also have a soft spot for knights of cydonia as my name suggests!!

Is it just me or does knights of cydonia lose something after the "no one's gonna take me alive" vocal starts?

The riff at the beginning is much better than the second one imo.

I still remember hearing "Uno" on Steve Lamacq's show and thinking "Wow, I've got to see these guys live" so I'd pick that.

Starlight, Plug In Baby, Time Is Running Out and Hysteria (all the singles, I guess)

Take A Bow

I love 'The Small Print' and also 'Microcuts'.
But picking a favorite track is so difficult, I could listen to Absolution and Origin of symmetry forever and not get tired of them!

I would be torn between 'Take a Bow', 'Bliss' and 'Megalomania'.

Tough call.

Stockholm Syndrome, Supermassive Black Hole, Knights Of Cydonia, Bliss, Citizen Erased, Plug In Baby...

It's good to see The Small Print is getting some mentions. That particular track has endured some hefty repeats over the years.

Starlight or Plug It In

Unintended. But I also love what they did with Feelin Good.

yeah i prefer their version of feelin good, didnt nestle put it in thier advert without permission or something, then had to pay loads of money to muse in a lawsuit

i never had an aero bar after i found that our lol

"Plug In Baby" "Feelin Good".

Its so tough because there are so many great tracks. However...

"Muscle Museum", "Falling Down", "Plug In Baby", "Sing for Absolution", "Hysteria", "Invincible", "Knights of Cydonia" are my very favourites.

as everyone says theres so many awesome tracks to choose from but i tink hysteria will clinch it everytime for me but followed closely by unintended.. beautiful song!

still kickin myself for not getting tickets to see em when they played last year!

Butterflies & Hurricanes... or if I'm at a club/festival, Hysteria, because the crowd go mad!!

Also, I remember they played B&H over the intro to the beginning of the 2005 Ashes on Channel 4 and some journalist in the Times (I think) totally slagged it off, saying it sounded like a funeral song!

you can only assume this guy was tone deaf huh?! a funeral indeed!

Mine would be Shine Acoustic, love the sound of the rain at the end of the track.

Also love the piano at the end of Ruled by Secrecy and the sweeping orchestral feel of Blackout.

hard, so many good ones. i'd have to say Sunburn, nice piano nice guitar, nice vocals and good lyrics. though New Born, Citizen Erased & Knights Of Cydonia are my faves as well.

A tough call but i'd say Plug In Baby if pushed.

Butterflies and Hurricanes. The way it builds up is spine tingling. Its a powerful anthemic song and the piano breakdown is just beautiful.
