But, they're learning---seeing NewBorn and Plug in Baby live has gotten a lot of them to seek out the "older" CD's (though Showbiz and OOS were only released in the US in late '05, well after Absolution). BTW I have been a fan since mid'04; as soon as I heard Absolution, I HAD to spend a fortune ordering all their other stuff off of AmazonUK. And now you can get it at Borders!

Oh yes! Actually, far and away the best gig (well, gigs, as there were 2) would have to be Muse at Wembley. The lights around the Sports Arena can't compare to giant balloons with spinning acrobats suspended above sold-out crowds of 75,000----with epic performances by the band that has won Best Live Band several years in a row in the European awards...

In the interim not to worry, those will eventually be consolidated into one choice and their votes combined.
