Muse

Muse is one of those bands with a very unique style. It draws a lot of comparison to Radiohead, but I for one don't see any huge similarities. They have some pretty amazing melodies and lots of variation between songs. Check em out!

10. Time Is Running Out
9. Take a Bow
8. Hysteria
7. Knights of Cydonia
6. Map of the Problematique
5. Starlight
4. Falling Away With You
3. Supermassive Black Hole
2. Invincible
1. Glorious

U2

When you talk about the greatest bands of all time, U2 is never left out. Here's a look at some of their best...

10. I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For
9. Pride (In The Name of Love)
8. The Saints Are Coming
7. With or Without You
6. City of Blinding Lights
5. Vertigo
4. New Year's Day
3. Sunday Bloody Sunday
2. Beautiful Day
1. One

Maroon 5

Here's a band that has a special place in my heart. They were the first pop group I ever became a "fan" of. Before Maroon 5, I'd just listen to whatever happened to be on the radio. Hope you like them...

10. Makes Me Wonder
9. Goodnight Goodnight (hear the Kryptonite riff?)
8. Can't Stop (their hardest song)
7. Wake Up Call
6. Sunday Morning
5. Harder to Breathe (the song that put M5 on the radar)
4. She Will Be Loved
3. This Love (is piano punk a genre?)
2. Must Get Out (oh the lyrics!)
1. Won't Go Home Without You (melodigasm in the ears...)

Now I don't know about you, but for a band with only two albums, that's not a bad collection of great songs!

Coldplay

If you know me well, you know that Coldplay is among my favourite bands. Here are some of their best...
10. White Shadows
9. Glass of Water
8. Lovers In Japan
7. Don't Panic
6. Viva La Vida
5. Life In Technicolor II
4. Cemeteries of London
3. Speed of Sound
2. Talk
1. Clocks
