With this said, performance comparison on a classic -

"Hungry Like the Wolf"

Muse



Duran Duran


I will always lean preference toward Duran Duran's performance, but Muse's take is worth considering.  In my opinion alone, the vocals and drums especially were on par with Simon and Roger.  My opinion.

What do you think?
