I'm not sure how these things work together. But I know that NIN will never leave me and that Muse are doing some truly interesting things. How about you guys? Why do you like NIN? Why do you like Muse?
hmmmmmmm......well, i agree with annadraconida on the fact that bellamy has the BEST voice out there. really, if a singer's voice can't 'speak' to me then i can't get into the music, no matter how good the instrumentation may be. which leads me to the point that those boys know how to play their instruments damn well. or at least enough to captivate me, as i haven't even the slightest inkling how to play anything, arrange music....blah blah blah...

The versatility of their music is one of my favorite aspects as well. between both what they write about and the variety of styles they incorporate.
thats just the music though. although i've also never been to a live Muse show (but plan on going in the US this year) i enjoy the theatrics of their live shows, i luv seeing how 'into it' they get, as they truly are having fun and showing the luv to the crowd. and of course, aside from all the music, youve gotta luv their zaniness. easily one of my favorite things about them is how freaking hilarious they are. blame the english to have a good sense of humor.
when it comes to NIN, well, like anyone, i can have some rather angry, depressing, and downright despairing thoughts. NIN speaks intelligently to me about these feelings, rather than just screaming unintelligible bullshit into the mic and putting out a record. its helped me put a lot of things into perspective, which is precisely why NIN will always be my #1.
i have muse for mostly the opposite, as it molds me into feeling happy, crazy, grand.....just lots of good stuff.
edit:
oh sorry, hello back! yes, muse and nin are so different its hard to find mutual fans out there!
