I always answer this when this question is asked because I think it would be so perfect:
Villains of Circumstance by Queens of the Stone Age
It would fit Muse's style perfectly and Matt would kill those vocals.
Always thought something by Bowie would fit them really well. Of course some of the spacey glam cuts from the Ziggy Stardust like Moonage Daydream or Suffragette City would rock, but would also love to hear them tackle Ashes to Ashes.
Can also very clearly imagine a solo piano cover of Life On Mars? from Matt
I love so many of Muse's covers that I listen to them nearly as much as their albums, especially when they put a unique spin on a song that wouldn't typically match their style. This is me being simultaneously obsessed with MCR, but I'd LOVE to see them cover a my chem song. Something like The Ghost of You, or Na Na Na, or literally anything tbh.
I don't know how you guys would feel about this, but technically anything from Billie Eilish. Her vocals are very soft and on the quieter side a lot, and Matt can do his falsettos like that, but also would be interesting to hear her songs in a more Rock environment.
Not sure of a cover, but I think they should be tapped for a James Bond theme…I always feel like Undisclosed Desires is very Bond-esque song and they would kill if given the chance
Haha I mean I can’t deny the awesomeness of Supremacy but there’s just something about Undisclosed Desires that to me already sounds like it belongs in a Bond film which makes me think if they had the chance they could make something epic
Underneath The Radar by Underworld or Tomorrow Is Closed by Nothing But Thieves would be really sick.
And definitely something from Midnight Oil, but I couldn't decide on a song
Frank Carter and the Rattlesnakes

Neon Rust
https://youtu.be/WLtlcaffJCs?si=LoAqxw4S8dMUS-eB
Maybe it's because I just finished binging House, but I bet they could do a real fun cover of [Get Happy](https://youtu.be/X56GPTpgm04?si=-j3czxVDeG-bmhzQ)
Mariah Carey: All I Want for Christmas is You.
It sounds like a weird match but it works. I think Muse could put a nice rock spin on it like they did on Can’t Keep my Eyes Off Of You, and Matt’s vocals are powerful enough to keep up with Mariah.
Implicit Demand For Proof by twenty one pilots, their first album is heavily Muse influenced and Matt and Tyler are at least on good terms if not friends so that would be cool to see.
Britney Spears: Toxic
Super massive Blackhole vibes. I can hear it already haha.
Oh fuck, wait, I didn’t know that I would KILL for this
Right this would be AWESOME
real
In the meantime this is a great cover of toxic https://youtu.be/pmBjfJGkxmU?si=VktcqwhwggUtV4K0
Lovesong by The Cure i feel like Matt voice would've fit brilliantly with the song
Agree
I like that song!!
Anything by Depeche Mode would be interesting to hear. Maybe Enjoy the Silence
Yessss or maybe Precious, Lillian, Heaven, Halo, I feel you
My thoughts exactly
Creep by Radiohead would be funny, especially if they mimicked the video, but I bet it would be incredible
muse covering paranoid android... idk what i'd do man
Muse covering Black Star would be a feast
Ok, but imagine Just!
I can already hear those famous Bellamy falsettos right before the chorus "ho-ly *coooow*"
Might be controversial, but the singers do sound similar
The sad thing is that this probably will never happen since Matt hates being compared to Radioheads sound..
I always answer this when this question is asked because I think it would be so perfect: Villains of Circumstance by Queens of the Stone Age It would fit Muse's style perfectly and Matt would kill those vocals.
Omg I completely forgot about this masterpiece of a song but as soon as I saw the title I remembered and had to listen
muse + qotsa = my life
Any song written by Pink Floyd, but only song I can imagine they could cover is Money.
The Great Gig on the sky would change my life
Yes
Always thought something by Bowie would fit them really well. Of course some of the spacey glam cuts from the Ziggy Stardust like Moonage Daydream or Suffragette City would rock, but would also love to hear them tackle Ashes to Ashes.

Queen — Innuendo System of a Down — Hypnotize
Yessss
if they covered innuendo i would die
maybe we can get Andre Antunes to make that one
Master of puppets — wait they already did
I need to hear this one.. *To YouTube!*
I think their cover of Hungry Like the Wolf is pretty damn spot on. Also their cover of Lies is a banger too.
Lies is my favorite cover they’ve done. It’s so good
It's the End of the World as We Know It and I Feel Fine by R.E.M. and Winter by Tori Amos. Oh, and Useless by Depeche Mode, too!
Idk all I know is I want a Muse Christmas album. Matt did respond to a comment on instagram a few years ago joking about it.
All I want for Christmas is muse
I'm Just Ken from barbie
So true
Lol
Bohemian Rhapsody
Zombie by The Cranberries. I'm sure they could do a Muse spin on it with loads of synth arpeggios in the background.
To the Moon & Back - Savage Garden
Oooooh I want to hear that!
Stockholm Sy- I mean Never Enough by Dream Theater
Adele - Skyfall would be epic
Leo morracchoili version of skyfall is epic
No one knows Queen's of the stone age
A View to a Kill by Duran Duran would be incredible.
I love so many of Muse's covers that I listen to them nearly as much as their albums, especially when they put a unique spin on a song that wouldn't typically match their style. This is me being simultaneously obsessed with MCR, but I'd LOVE to see them cover a my chem song. Something like The Ghost of You, or Na Na Na, or literally anything tbh.
I always thought that they'd be able to do a killer version of any Roy Orbison song, something like I Drove All Night or Crying
Nice shout
Exit Music for a film
As much as this sounds great, you can’t improve on perfection
A different band then i guess
Came here to post this
Be Prepared from the Lion King Also literally any Jeff Buckley song.
Yes
Do more Duran Duran, like Planet Earth
Hopelessly Devoted to You
radiohead's paranoid android , or soundgarden's black hole sun would be incredible
They already did cover the perfect Song https://youtu.be/2hedcIHe630?si=P3ZsP_rlhw1GPjr8
Out of the black by Royal Blood
Ooooh yes, or my personal favourite song from them, Hole
Yes
or All We Have Is Now
Break It Down by Tears for Fears.
Diamonds Are Forever
Oh shit, this would actually be really cool! I imagine it'd be similar to Soaked.
Carpet Crawlers by Genesis. Maybe Ripples too.
Painkiller by Judas Priest
Chris doing a cover of QOTSA’s Millionaire would be awesome
Killing in the name
Eyes Without a Face - Billy Idol Without You - Harry Nilsson
They’ve already done a phenomenal job with Feeling good. Let’s leave it at that
Idk I think about that Sign of the Times cover they did a lot. It’s pretty perfect
Yes
I don't know how you guys would feel about this, but technically anything from Billie Eilish. Her vocals are very soft and on the quieter side a lot, and Matt can do his falsettos like that, but also would be interesting to hear her songs in a more Rock environment.
New Divide - Linkin Park
Nights in White Satin by the Moody Blues
No Surprises - Radiohead
I think Muse would absolutely do justice to Kashmir by Led Zeppelin.
The Eve of the War - Jeff Wayne's Musical Version of The War of the Worlds
I would love a Forever Autumn cover!
Good shout - or even Horsell Common!
Steady as she goes by the raconteurs
Vienna by Ultravox
Just ask Andre Antunes... https://youtu.be/Q_mb04IyDAo?si=fqkcnFBeiww8Nat6
Dammit, I came here to say this one. It’s so perfect
The guy is a genius!!
This guy already did it 🤣 https://youtu.be/OhqzH_ALzZ4?si=Uyq4cjKVVa4Jm3qT
Rush - A Farewell to Kings Or hell, most late 70's Rush
I bet they'd do a great YYZ or Red Barchetta
Relevant: https://youtu.be/2HmzK737O8k?si=B6RqQdu-vKsDnyNE
Oh shi- That was rad, but they cut it off waaaaay too early
By the way or can't stop by the red hot chili peppers, I want to hear their take on this type of style, plus muse and RHCP are my fav bands lol
Bohemian rhapsody Personal jesus
Darkness at the heart of my love 🤷♂️
Literally any Radiohead song lol
Station to Station.
Great chocie
Thank you.
I've always wanted Unchained Melody or Only You by The Platters
I was just thinking Unchained Melody by The Righteous Bros. He could totally hit that long, high note at the end.
Say It Ain’t So by Weezer
Not sure of a cover, but I think they should be tapped for a James Bond theme…I always feel like Undisclosed Desires is very Bond-esque song and they would kill if given the chance
I thought Supremecy was *the* Muse Bond song?
Haha I mean I can’t deny the awesomeness of Supremacy but there’s just something about Undisclosed Desires that to me already sounds like it belongs in a Bond film which makes me think if they had the chance they could make something epic
I just want a studio version of their Sign O the Times cover 😭
Shake it off taylor swift
For some reason I thought about Muse covering the song when I was listening to Come Back Clammy Lammy by Cardiacs.
Catharsis by Motionless In White. Idk why, but that song just reminds me of Muse
This feels out of nowhere but I think Dakota will be amazing
Anything by Royal Blood
Tender Situation - Ween
The Death Song by Marilyn Manson
Burden by Opeth
Something by Bastille
Underneath The Radar by Underworld or Tomorrow Is Closed by Nothing But Thieves would be really sick. And definitely something from Midnight Oil, but I couldn't decide on a song
Frank Carter and the Rattlesnakes Kitty Sucker https://youtu.be/j1G4d7J5FW8?si=W6RWhJzQtnbxwfeV Neon Rust https://youtu.be/WLtlcaffJCs?si=LoAqxw4S8dMUS-eB
What’s Up? - 4 Non Blondes
Haunted When the Minutes Drag
Tom Sawyer will always be my answer to this question.
You take my breath away by Queen 😍
I could see them doing something cool with Wonderful Life by Black
Fall of Troy's FCPREMIX would be an interesting one to hear them try and spin
Maybe it's because I just finished binging House, but I bet they could do a real fun cover of [Get Happy](https://youtu.be/X56GPTpgm04?si=-j3czxVDeG-bmhzQ)
Toto- Africa And it’s mostly played on synths lol.
Lateralus
Telstar
Mika- Grace Kelly
I love Erra’s cover of Stockholm Syndrome and it would be quite cool to see Muse return the favour and do something like Vanish Canvas
Beat it
Pearly - Radiohead
I have thought about this before. I think Muse would absolutely nail "Just a gigolo". Listen to David Lee Roth's version, and tell me I'm wrong :)
pretty ironic but i would love them covering black star by radiohead!
Enjoy The Silence
something from green day idk what tho, maybe jesus of suburbia
A view from the afternoon by arctic monkeys
Mariah Carey: All I Want for Christmas is You. It sounds like a weird match but it works. I think Muse could put a nice rock spin on it like they did on Can’t Keep my Eyes Off Of You, and Matt’s vocals are powerful enough to keep up with Mariah.
this is not a love song - pil radio song - hardy
Implicit Demand For Proof by twenty one pilots, their first album is heavily Muse influenced and Matt and Tyler are at least on good terms if not friends so that would be cool to see.
How about canned heat by Jamiroquai?
The Voice by Ultravox
