I couldn't listen to any of those. That was convincing.

That's a strange comparison. Exogenesis is very serious, completely lacking in Bohemian Rhapsody's wit or surreality. I'm too tired to check right now, but I'd be willing to bet Bohemian Rhapsody would be more complicated from a musical perspective, not to mention more varied. Also, Exogenesis didn't have any really memorable sections, whereas Bohemian Rhapsody was 90% stand-out moments. Bohemian Rhapsody simply crams more into just under six minutes than that has in just under 14.
EDIT: A quarter to tomorrow on Friday night and I'm writing a small essay comparing Queen and Muse. I need a life.

I'd be interested to see any examples of humour, variety or genuinely memorable sections in it.

Humour? Where was that in Bohemian Rhapsody?
Genuinely memorable - Aping my soul, the intro to Cross-Pollination, the dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun bit halfway through C-P, the ending to Redemption, etc
Variety? LOLWUT THE ENTIRE THING VARIED IT WENT FROM CLASSICAL, TO OPERA, TO ROCK AND duck ROLL

The opera section, starting after the guitar solo. The Galileos, Bizmillahs and so on give it a surreal kind of humour. At least, that's what I thought.

I don't remember any of those bits. :$

It did roughly the same thing with different instruments. Also, it sounds more like soundtrack than classical for the most part.

I didn't find that lot humorous.
And I did.
And in your opinion

The last part wasn't my opinion. If you'd really like, I could transcribe it all by ear and prove that the chord progressions are all fairly similar and not in a classical style, but that'd be a lot of work.

The chord progressions were not similar, thanks

I still think Bohemian Rhapsody is better. I mean, all due respect to Muse, but this isn't memorable.

It's an opinion, there's no need to flame because of it. You might like it, but we don't. Sounds like a reasonable explanation to me.

You can't just tell people it's memorable and expect them to say "Actually, yes, it was memorable". It doesn't seem like this is everyone's sort of thing.
By the way, downloaded it this morning, will start to transcribe it this evening.

Neither is Bohemian Rhapsody.

"It's an opinion, there's no need to flame because of it. You might like it, but we don't. "
That's great if you provide a valid explanation to back it up. Saying "It wasn't memorable" is not a good explanation as to how it's not good.

She didn't say it was bad. She said Bohemian Rhapsody is better. Saying it wasn't memorable is fair enough. You haven't provided any reasons at all why this is better, by the way.

Re: Not a troll topic. Muse > Queen, and here is why
The first bit sounded like something I've heard before, which is annoying me now as I can't think what it could be.
Wait a few years, then you might find out which is more memorable.
Saying that, I'm not even that big a fan of Queen, I could name a handful of their songs I like with a bit of thought, but not exacly their biggest fan. Even so, I can remember quite a bit of Bohemian Rhapsody while I'm unable to recall the last time I listened to it, yet this song is already fading in my memory.

I tried to give Muse up, but I'm addicted.
