I just made an all Muse CD to listen to in the car, mostly for my brother to become more acquainted with them before we go see them in September. It goes:
Knights
Supremacy
Interlude/Hysteria
Panic Station
Supermassive Black Hole
Map of the Problematique
Butterflies & Hurricanes
Resistance
Undisclosed Desires
Madness
Time is Running Out
Plug In Baby
New Born
Stockholm Syndrome
Uprising
Starlight
Fitting a whole (and great) discography into an 80 minutes CD is pretty hard, but you have a great mix there. Maybe just switch Undisclosed Desires for Bliss and boom
If you're looking to start getting into Muse, there's really no better way than to just pick up an album and throw yourself into it. Don't spend too much time listening/analyzing each song to decide if you like it. If it sounds good, keep it. If not, set it aside because you might just randomly decide to listen to it and it will become your new favorite song. Repeat for each album in whatever order.
If this chaotic approach raises some eyebrows, that's how I got into Muse. They're weird in that they don't necessarily have songs that "grow" on you. You could seriously listen to a song one day and hate it, never hear it again for months, and come back and be obsessed with it.
^ not a bad way to get into them at all. However I think that a "best of" is the best way - but to each their own
I've learnt some spoilers without wanting them. A Muse-fans facebook page I follow posted a wide pic of the stage that I couldn't avoid since it appeared in my facebook timeline, and even though I tried not to look at it, I have seen more than I wanted. And, although no concrete song was mentioned, too many friends of mine were raving about some song last night on Twitter, so I guess they must have introducted Muscle Museum (as rumoured/told) or some other rarity/oldie. Not a bad thing - but then again, more than I'd like to know. I don't know if this spoiler-free madness can go on until the first week of July - I'm basically going insane hahaha

I have a good bunch of friends that will be standing on both concerts, so if you spot some Spanish flags you know who they are Have a great time Alan!
Saw some spanish flags yesterday and a colombian one as well, lot's of french people too... but I'm done with Muse, Matt trying to act more and more like Bono just doesn't work, was the 16th times I saw them and probably the last one, I hope it was just a bad day but after the arena tour of last year, I'm not even sure... I hope for all of you who are going to see them it will be better...
Oh, I'm so sorry for you I agree that they have progressively got worse throughout the years... Like many other bands. The energy slowly disappears, the style changes... I'm still looking forward to Rome, though.
