'If I could do any other job I'd love to be a rock star!'
Trainer Tom Symonds lists his favourite Muse tracks

Undisclosed desires
I loved it when I first heard it on the album Resistance, but seeing it live makes it ten times better. It has a very full sound and isn't the usual anthem people are used to with Muse, but it's a good song with quite a dark theme as well. It's so good – you need to listen to it.
Plug In Baby
This was the first time I properly heard Muse, it's from their second album Origin Of Symmetry. The guitar riff is really infectious and it's an amazing song – it's very nostalgic for me as well as I was at school when it first came out. I can't listen to it enough and is what got me hooked on Muse – it's just brilliant.
Hysteria
The manically urgent guitar riff goes with the name, I love it, and it's hard to quantify how good it is live – it's the perfect song to see live, it hits you in the face, proper job.
